    I'm a pre-alpha player, and I can safely say the game has come a long way! Really fun take on an overcrowed genre for sure.

    Great fun! Wonderful community. Spellbreak is immediately interesting with gorgeous visuals and tossing spells around is great for casual play. But, then it is surprisingly very skill based and nuanced it could really have legs as an esport.

    The game idea is definitely creative, lots of fun to play. Love the idea of strategically having to choose weapons Hopefully it will get more popular.

    There's never been a pvp game I've been this sunk into in my decades of gaming. It takes so many things I love, and combines them together to create combinations of gameplay, the likes of which I've never seen. There's so much high flying gameplay it's been incredibly memorable to play it over the years.

    Modern Warfare is fun, but the size and frequent updates hinder it for me and my friends. Valorant is fun, the low graphics makes it playable for almost everyone. But it's just for PC and the game gets too sweaty at times. But Spellbreak! Graphics just low enough for everyone to jump in, crossplay, cross-save, battle royal, element mixing, fun! Mad fun! It's perfect.

    Played the game for 2 years now since the pre-alpha. Still addicted. Constant updates. GREAT game balance, and all from an indie studio. Takes a while to learn, but once you grasp the game, it doesn't get more exciting than this.

    I have been playing the game since pre alpha and the game has evolved so much into the masterpiece it is today. I purchased a pack in pre alpha and I feel I got my money’s worth playing over 2000 hours between when I joined and now. The devs listen and try to fix issues as fast as they can.

    Amazing twist on the battle royale genre. I'm not a fan of guns so I absolutely love the magic style. The artwork and graphics are fantastic and I love the style as well. The outfits are great and the only major downside I will say there is in my opinion is the shop, I can't stand rotating shops like in Fall Guys where you are either encouraged to mass buy things you don't really want orAmazing twist on the battle royale genre.

I would much prefer a League Of Legends style shop and maybe a battle pass option to make up the lost money on a more consumer friendly shop. Overall though none of my complaints are with the game, I love the game to death, the community is also absolutely amazing with a great group of people that make sure all players feel welcome. 10/10 but I'd love to see a better cosmetic shop and maybe future magic types added in the long term.… Expand

    The only pvp game that I have loved for some time. Each game has something satisfying to provide with a boat load of variety in playing style and choices. Game gets 10/10 based on the innovation of the game-play and sheer enjoyment factor.

    game misses some inside mechanics/objectives, but mechanics are amazing. Also skins needs more work, but game has huge potencial as an esport competitive game.

    10/10. I am so impressed with this game and beyond amazed its free. I love it! The first BR iv enjoyed since pubg was new. Its very rare for me to become obsessed with a new game... this is the one! It has so much potential, but honestly its already where I want it. Solos being released will be very interesting and I think that's where the game will improve.

    Negatives as of week 1: Final area in squads is pure chaos and lacks much team based skill. You have 5-6 teams just piling ontop of each other and because of the large aoe attacks strategy is low.

    Cant see team dings when landing, why cant i choose my own place to land?

    I've been playing since March as a Closed Beta member, and when the game went free to play a couple days ago, I brought a bunch of friends into the game as first-time newbies and gave them only the tips of dont stop moving and dont stop jumping, and a couple of them quickly got the hang of it. It has the same issues as most launch games, but I personally believe that with a short amount of time and support this game could become one of the best and most consistently good games of the last couple years.

    Haven't found a game where I genuinely wanted to keep playing it over and over everyday like this game does in a long time. Not because I wanted to complete some battlepass or challenges (since there isn't much yet) but because the gameplay in actually great.

    This is somewhat the most awaited battle royale for me. Its the best as it is one of a kind. You get a mix of mobility and shooting at the same time trying to figure out good combos and talents to come with your gauntlets. Really diverse and damn the map is gorgeous some parts are foggy/dark/bright its just the best for me.

    Spellbreak offers a breath of life into the lungs of the battle royale genre. New battle royales have to fight hard to keep their head above the water that is infested by the titans that are Fortnite, PUBG, Warzone, and Apex Legends, but Spellbreak’s innovative gameplay might just be what the genre is looking for.

    Spellbreak tries to reinvigorate the worn-out battle royale genre by ditching guns and fortifications in favor of an excellent magic combat system (combining spells works great!) supported by remarkable character mobility. The result is a frenetic, very satisfying game. And it’s free, so it’s easier to turn a blind eye to the fact that the map is large but empty, and there isn’t even a simple chat system to make communication within the team easier. [12/2020, p.37]

    The potential to grow into something superb is there, but even in its current state, Spellbreak is a great breath of fresh air for the genre. The game should find an audience with fans of battle royale or new people who are fed up with the gun-toting nature of them, or for those who are simply looking for something a little magical to dip their wands into.
