I’m sure many of us have played Breakout over the year’s, in fact I still play it from time to time even to this day. It was a very simple game that provided you with some very enjoyable moments mixed in with some frustration as well, but despite the frustrating moments it’s still a game I went back to time and time again. Magical Brickout follows the Breakout formula quite closely but itI’m sure many of us have played Breakout over the year’s, in fact I still play it from time to time even to this day. It was a very simple game that provided you with some very enjoyable moments mixed in with some frustration as well, but despite the frustrating moments it’s still a game I went back to time and time again. Magical Brickout follows the Breakout formula quite closely but it also offers up its own unique mechanic and this unique mechanic makes the game a worthwhile purchase despite the few shortcomings it suffers with. If you can recall Breakout’s main aspect of its gameplay was moving the paddle side to side across the screen, but in Magical Brickout you can move the paddle in a full circular motion and by them implementing this mechanic it does in a way make the game quite a lot of fun. You will however have to get used to the game’s difficulty curve because at times it can be quite unforgiving which ultimately means that you will become frustrated from time to time. I do however suggest that you carry on with this game despite it frustrating you from time to time because there are a decent amount of levels for you to get to grips with. Each level has a decent amount of variety present in them and once you complete a more difficult level you do get a great sense of achievement, which is always a nice feeling. Despite the very nice rewarding feeling you get when completing a level I do recommend that you play this game in short bursts because when played for long periods the game does get repetetive quite quickly and if played for too long you will start to lose interest. They do try to keep you invested by offering you a story but the story that’s present is nothing special and whilst it offers you some enjoyable moments it is a little on the generic side. One aspect of the game I was impressed with though is the technichal side and even if you do end up playing for long periods the game’s controls will never let you down so if you die it’s purely down to you and you only. The presentation side of the game also impressed me as well and I think the minamilist approach makes the visuals and sound design have a certain charm about them, and in a way they do make the gameplay even more of a fun and addictive experience. At the end of the day Magical Brickout will bring some fond memories flowing back to you and whilst it may be quite like Breakout it’s definitely not a clone. Despite its shortcomings this game is perfect to pass some time and when you combine in the decent price of the game with the fun factor it creates Magical Brickout definitely gets a thumbs up from me.… Expand
