    Not very well optimised for Switch at all... the onscreen text is far too tiny to read while in handheld mode and there’s no motion support for aiming.

    Additionally, you can’t pick a username, it generates an ugly one from your Switch online ID plus a number.

    Finally... if you create your account on Nintendo Switch, you can’t then log in from your PSN acccount (unlike Fortnite).

    É um jogo incrível, tem muito potencial. Considerando que ainda está em seus momentos iniciais, já vejo um futuro bem promissor para o jogo.

    This is a great game with amazing potential!

    The Switch version however needs:
    - Gyroscope (a must, no chance to win against other platforms otherwise);
    - Slightly bigger texts.

    In general, the game can do with better music throughout the wait times during match-making and for in-game sounds not to start until the wait screen is gone.

    However, great game for day 3 of launch!

    Extremely well done, port is fantastic, gameplay is fun. Gyro controls will be added in future so I’m looking forward to that

    Needs a lot of optimization. Could be fun but it's very muddy looking and doesn't include gyro like every other BR or shooter on switch. The text is also very tiny on handheld.

    The movement seems off, very light or floaty, almost like the characters feet aren't touching the ground when running. No gyro is an uninstall for me. I'll be back if there's updates to muddy visuals and gyro    Needs a lot of optimization. Could be fun but it's very muddy looking and doesn't include gyro like every other BR or shooter on switch.

    I'll be back if there's updates to muddy visuals and gyro aiming like splatoon, doom, overwatch, fortnite etc.    … Expand

    This is a really good game. I have not seen many advertisements for Spellbreak but I wish more people would discover it.

    Spellbreak is the perfect example of a great game let down by lacklustre performance on the Nintendo Switch. Unique gameplay mechanics aside, being often unable to play the game due to technical issues limits any potential enjoyment to be found.

    Future updates will hopefully sort out all those connection issues, but what Spellbreak needs more than anything is a glow up. Because the elemental combat here is sensational, but all that goodness is trapped in this garden-variety fantasy setting that's holding back the true potential of what Proletariat could create here.

    Spellbreak is the battle royale-styled action-adventure title that magic wielders have been waiting for! Its vibrant and beautiful landscapes make the world feel like something out of Breath of the Wild, and the unique classes and abilities make each hard to pick a favorite.
