![]() There is actually a good amount of lore that they are building as well, which is impressive for a game like this. They are working on a story mode, a guild system, competitive matchmaking and more. Although, I will come to the game’s defense a little bit here and say that the team behind the game, Proletariat, seems to have some cool stuff in store for the future. This, to me, is a little steep so I can understand why no one would want to risk the money for a game like this. To get access to the beta you have to purchase a founders pack and the lowest price for one is fifty dollars. Spellbreak is currently in closed beta for PC and PS4. Winning a fight in solos is just as or even a better feeling than in squads. And actually, in solos, I found that combat to be a little more intense because most of the time I ran into one other single person at a time. And once you take them down, it is a glorious feeling. There will be spells going off all over the place, and you are trying to take down an enemy player coming after you. ![]() In squads, it can be a little chaotic but once you settle in and get used to it, it really becomes enjoyable. That said, the flow of combat is really fun. I am not saying it is super busted, but in my own experience, I have gone up against way more enemies using the frost class. I will say that the frost class is definitely the more popular class at the moment given that one of its abilities does a lot of damage. So each class feels like a viable option to use. Each spell doesn’t feel too under- or overpowered (with some exceptions. But for the most part, the combat is solid. And I say “will make” because there are some things that need attention. Speaking of combat, this is what will make Spellbreak special. But the other half of the time the game feels like there is a good amount of balance in being able to loot and fight. Each round only holds about forty people (I rarely have a full lobby, so it is hard to tell sometimes) and sometimes it feels as though I can go a long time without seeing anyone. Another thing I noticed is that the map is a decent size. While playing with my friend one time he said the map reminds him of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. It feels as though you are just playing an open-world magic game. The art style and creative direction for the game is spot on. Once you are in a match a couple of things are noticeable right off the bat. It can be interesting changing out perks with certain classes to find cool builds and test them out. Some include faster casting speeds, while some are the ability to revive yourself one time after you die. On top of your classes, you get to select certain perks that unlock as you level up certain classes. There are pros and cons to every class and the fun part if trying out each class and seeing which one fits your playstyle. For example, the stone gauntlet lets you regenerate armor every time you use one of your spells. Each gauntlet class has its own abilities and you get additional abilities as the ring closes. ![]() However, before you drop in you get to choose which gauntlet will be your default class. You have your fire, wind, toxic, stone, frost and lightning gauntlets you can pick up throughout the game. The main difference is that you cast spells to eliminate enemies with different types of gauntlets you can wield. Although, in my experience, Spellbreak brings a little more to the table in terms of mechanics and fun factor. All of those things exist with Spellbreak as well. With every battle royale, you always have the basics: lots of players, a closing ring, loot to get and a rush of adrenaline when you are in combat. It is a nice breath of fresh air and is a game I am enjoying at the moment. ![]() Yes, Spellbreak is another battle royale game but instead of firing bullets from a gun, you cast spells from a gauntlet. So what is another battle royale game tossed into the sea of existing games? I’ll tell ya. Warzone, Apex Legends, Realm Royale, PUBG, Fortnite and the list goes on. The gaming space is full of battle royale games.
