![]() The can be bought with real money but we were surprised to see how bare the in-game shop was, offering just a couple of outfits and a handful of accessories. The rewards of progress are cosmetic items. That said, it doesn’t do much to keep your attention. PUBG, Warzone and Fortnite won’t be the competition here, those games can fight among themselves but Spellbreak offers a different enough spin to make it stand alone. However, the game’s fast pace and clear, slightly-cartoony graphics make this a valid alternative to the big guns in the genre. If you can avoid trouble, you can definitely gear up and give yourself an edge but it all felt a bit random at times and takes your eyes off the prize. While we like the core gameplay there maybe is too much emphasis on picking up tat and it’s not always particularly clear what you’ve got and what you’re about to pick up. Subsequent games against experienced players will be a lot harder, trust us. This isn’t because you’re a natural but rather because the first game is all bots set to ‘dumb’ but the illusion is welcome as it gives you a bit of belief. The game does pull a bit of a fast one on you. Playing in solo mode was much better than squadding up with randoms. The player base is like any other F2P one, so don’t expect to make any friends. The game is accessible sure, but there’s not a lot of reason to keep going.īattles are frantic but also can be confusing, I wasn’t always sure who was an enemy and who wasn’t (especially when people on my own squad were happy to kill me rather than rescue me) which is a problem given that friendly-fire is a real thing. After playing many, many hours of Dauntless the clarity and simplicity here is quite refreshing but that comes at a cost when it comes to depth. You won’t be wrestling with complicated systems and tons of currency systems. In terms of accessibility and pace, Spellbreak is very beginner-friendly. You also have a mana pool which is easily depleted. Combat is pretty tough as the playerbase seems to like to move around a lot. Once you drop in to the world, you’ll have that Fortnite-esque experience of running around for ages without seeing anyone before eventually running into people when half the field has been eradicated. You can also pick up gear to improve your speed, defence and so on and runes that give you abilities with cool-off periods such as a handy ability to locate other players or the oft-used flight ability which will see people flying all over the place because that seems to be the most popular one. These attacks are mapped to the left and right triggers and shoulder buttons so there’s a real feel of you having power in both hands. There are a load of combinations to explore and it all works well, echoing the system Magicka uses. So, for example, you can cast a toxic cloud and as that’s doing damage you can ignite it with a fire spell. These items can grant you a second weapon type and this is where Spellbreak has its best idea, you can mix damage types. Your class will dictate your weapon spell (fire, ice, electric, toxic and so on) and then you’ll run around trying to find the pick-ups that litter the area. But the mage aspect to the game is what sets this apart. The game currently supports solo, duo and squads (of three players).Īs with other games in this space, you’ll pick a character class (basically your damage type) and then you’ll drop into the map from the air. ![]() #Spellbreak ps5 freeA brief tutorial, which does a good job of explaining the core mechanics, you’ll be free to pick a game mode. The obvious comparison is with Fortnite in so far as it has a vaguely cartoonish look and you get the whole closing circle of doom thing from PUBG but Spellbreak‘s gimmick is that you play as a mage. It comes from Boston-based devs Proletariat Inc and is a cross-play title which allows you to continue your progress across the various formats (including the Nintendo Switch).
