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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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 a good battle-royale with great combat. It's graphics and world-design won't "wow" anyone, but the ability to dish out devastating magical destruction in chaotic duals is unlike anything else currently on the market.

Spellbreak could be a huge hit if it was capable of drawing in the numbers, but a poor marketing campaign established otherwise. Even still, Proletariat's fantastic sound design, music, gameplay mechanics, and art style creates a hugely immersive experience for the player; comfortably satisfying a player's desire to experience games shaped around elemental magic. It's a shame that such an incredibly rewarding experience is marred by bot-heavy games.

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's combat is stylish and offers a lot of flexibility. If the developer follows through on its roadmap (which promises more storytelling among other things), it could really turn into something special.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Spellbreak has launched with a foundation for greatness, with a fantastic combat system that I’m determined to master through many hours of play. However, to earn that attention post-launch support will be key. Proletariat already has a roadmap detailed and new modes like the 9v9 Clash game type sound promising. Here’s hoping the game gets enough attention from players and receives the support to make it truly shine.
