8/16/2023 0 Comments Spellbreak switch review![]() The majority of the time I found myself easily getting into the last five mages. This isn’t because there aren’t people playing, there’s just not enough of them in the round. I would spend most of the round being able to upgrade my gauntlets and equipment to the highest levels without seeing anyone else. It feels like I might see someone only by sheer luck, the Hollow Lands are just too big for the number of players. It’s a fairly big arena too, which I’ve found means fights are far and few between until the last five players. Each round can have up to 42 players all descending down to the arena. One of the biggest issues I’ve had with the game so far is the smaller number of players in each round. Even as you move around to the safe zone from the storm you level up, making everyone stronger the smaller the storm circle gets. If you find and read a scroll you can give your powers a boost. Along with the Runes you’ll also find equipment/armour to help provide you with some shield, and improve your other stats too. I was a fan of using invisibility to scout areas where I could hear fighting. Runes aren’t hard to find in the chests or even out in the open, they’re worth tracking down for the extra edge in combat. Sneak around with invisibility, take off to the skies with flight, or let off a howl that detects any nearby players. Throughout the Hollow Lands you can also find Runes. While it was great to see one of these combination attacks work in a fight, wailing on enemies with the basic elemental attacks can still make short work of them. Working with others you can cover each possible combination if you really want to go to the effort. By yourself you can mix it up a fair bit if you can find the gauntlet you need. You can also ignite toxic clouds or make a meteor. Launch a wind tornado and hit it with a fireball, it becomes a fire tornado for extra damage. Different combinations of the elements make for some deadly attacks. ![]() While you choose one element to start with, you can pick up another gauntlet during the round. I found this means that you feel ready to fight as soon as you hit the ground, no frantic running around only to find a pistol. Given you pick what type of Battlemage you want to be from the beginning, you’re never left unarmed or stuck with a crappy weapon. Charging up an ice lance to hit someone and using the ice trail left to speed along is fun. The earth attacks are solid and leave a trail of destruction. Regardless of the elements you choose, they all are fun to use in their own ways. Some elemental gauntlets feel uneven, although being able to carry two of them means you can offset this. You get a primary attack that you can fire off as fast as possible, and there’s secondary attacks with a cool down timer that do more damage. Ice allows you to snipe your opponents, lightning is rapid fire like an SMG, and using fire is like a grenade launcher. What it boils down to is each element acts as the different classes of firearms. The combat is what makes this game stand out in a crowded genre, the magical attacks and hovering around the battlefield is a blast.īefore a new round you can choose what element of Battlemage you want to be, each of them having quite different playstyles. It may not sound like much, but I’ve had a lot of fun slinging fireballs around. The hook to Spellbreak is that instead of guns and building structures, you’re using magic. It’s good to see the game opens up more as developer Proletariat adds more to the game. You can play in a squad, in duos or by yourself, but initially, only squads were available. The Battle Royale staples are here – you can choose where you drop onto the map, there are timers, and the ever-approaching storm. It all sounds like Avatar: The Last Airbender, in a good way. With the help of magical gauntlets, you take control of the elements fire, ice, earth, lightning, wind and toxic/poison. Spellbreak takes part in the Hollow Lands in the world of Primdal, where Battlemages fight for supremacy. Switching between the two, I’ve found despite the juggernaut that is Fortnite, there is still space for a game like Spellbreak. With the Marvel season currently taking place in Fortnite, I have jumped back into playing that, the last time I played was well over a year ago. Spellbreak may not be the first fantasy game in this space, but it’s definitely one of the most enjoyable. The Battle Royale genre of games has taken many forms.
