Spellbreak Reviews
As it stands, the satisfying gauntlet combos and fast-paced combat can only go so far. With Fortnite’s season 4 providing an array of similar superpowers, to achieve longevity, Spellbreak must continue to shake up the status quo. Thankfully, that’s exactly what the upcoming update promises.
Released by developer Proletariat in September 2020, Spellbreak is a new Battle Royale multiplayer experience which allows players to conjure spells and channel the elements in order to defeat enemies. Although Spellbreak has its rough edges and is still no doubt in development, it produces a very unique Battle Royale experience which many players will find refreshing and fun.
I absolute had a blast with Spellbreak. This is a title in the overpopulated battle royale that deserves to find success and is gunning for your attention – it simply is ticking a lot of the right boxes for someone who might have issues with the slow nature of the genre.
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.
With the addition of new game modes and a quest system, Spellbreak continues to improve on the base game. Proletariat has done a great job at creating a platform for a game. They have left a lot of space for expansion in the future. The art style is beautiful and bright. There are a ton of character skins to unlock but I wish that a single character could be customized with more detail. A lot has gone into the making of Spellbreak and the future is looking bright for this title. We can’t wait to see what comes next.
Spellbreak manages to make a stand with its enjoyable fight mechanics and fluid gameplay, but it's still missing features that will add diversity to the game.

Overall, Spellbreak is unbridled fun as you and other mages do battle with various elemental powers. It keeps the core of what makes the battle royale genre successful whilst adding in its own unique gameplay, charm, and character.
Adopting a unique approach and fun mechanics, Spellbreak manages to deliver a Battle Royale that deserves your attention, especially if you are tired of shooting games.

When it comes to battle royal games, you certainly can't do much better than Spellbreak. Its clever use of casting combinations of magic spells while soaring through lovely environments makes it one exciting and delightful online experience.
Have you been feeling like Fortnite has become a bit played out? I have… though I think I felt that way pretty early since I always considered the quick-build types complete BS but I digress...
Spellbreak is a fun and frantic battle royale that still has room to grow as it evolves with future seasons.
Spellbreak does more than enough to allow it to stand out in a stuffed genre and offers a terrific variety in its weapon options. There’s absolutely something here if you’re looking for a Royale without shotguns. Don’t sleep on it.
This magical battle royale takes a recommendation of 8 points. Mainly for an enriched approach to the genre and brisk gameplay and matchmaking. The advantage is that you don't even have to play with friends to cooperate, because you can create combos here yourself. We hope that the developers will take proper care of the game, because now it is entirely up to them whether as many people as possible will stay with the game.

Spellbreak is typically a blast, no matter which of the platforms you jump on to play it delivering some fast paced fantasy battle royale action.
Spellbreak bets on spells and abilities instead of weapons and equipment in a new style of Battle Royale game. Despite the fun gameplay and the very welcome cross-play options, the very large map makes some matches monotonous. Right now, the game is very light on content, the studio will need to create several events and new gauntlets to keep the game relevant and to guarantee its place among the best of its kind.

Spellbreak is probably not the most complete or complex Battle Royale, but it has a winning combination, the use of magic, its beautiful artistic section and a relatively affordable gateway, and that encourages a lot to continue playing this type of titles to the that a server feels that he has gotten too old and has run out of rice. I don't know what else you want me to say, it's free, it's on all platforms, give it a try.

It’s still in its early stages, but Spellbreak is worth a try for gamers looking for a new kind of battle royale experience.
New battle royale games seem to be coming out every week – just this past month we’ve also had Hyperspace. That being said, Spellbreak is the most fun I’ve had in the genre since I first tried Fortnite. It still has a long way to go to prove itself as the best BR out there, but I think it’s starting out as the strongest one on day one so far. Its gameplay is fast and fun, the team-based attacks and gauntlet system are innovative and satisfying, and the class systems add a ton of reasons to replay and practice. It’s a really solid game that feels it’s at its absolute best when playing as a team, which isn’t always the case when it comes to BRs. Spellbreak does enough to truly stand out in the genre and is probably my favourite battle royale out there right now. Go give it a play, who knows, it might just be the refresh in the genre you’ve been looking for.
All of that said, I think Spellbreak is a truly unique take on the Battle Royale genre which brings enough ideas to the table that it feels like a fresh multiplayer experience, even within the familiarity and comfort of the larger mechanical systems at play. It may not spark a revolution in multiplayer gaming, but it’ll give you something new to be excited about in an otherwise crowded landscape of all-too-similar shooters.
Despite featuring an interesting gimmick, Spellbreak is hindered by a weak setting and repetitive combat that feels too standard for such a crowded genre.
