With Spellbreak, a new battle royale game has launched for PC, PS4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch. We will tell you how it is received by players and what makes it so interesting.
What is Spellbreak? Basically, it is a battle royale game. However, you don’t run around with guns and throw grenades at your enemies. Instead, you are in a fantasy world and use magic in combat.
Genre-typical, the map gets smaller and thus the fights become more intense. In addition, you also need to look for loot in the form of magical gloves. These help you to last longer. The gloves provide you with new spells that you can even combine. Whoever is the last one standing wins.
Welcome fresh winds in the battle royale genre
How is Spellbreak received? The free-to-play online game was released on September 3 for PC via the Epic Games Store, for PS4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch. On Metacritic, players have already posted their opinions. These are very positive. The current meta user score is 8.9 out of 10 points.
It shows that Spellbreak is a very fun and entertaining game that brings fresh wind into the battle royale genre. The fast-paced fights with the combinable spells and the smooth gameplay are well received. Additionally, it is possible to fly across the map. Players sometimes feel like Harry Potter.
Furthermore, players praise the graphics, which although not reaching the level of CoD: Warzone, is still consistent and runs well on mid-range PCs.
This is what players say: We summarize some of the statements from Spellbreak players on the Metacritic website for you.
- Embara626 explains: “Usually, I am not a big fan of battle royale games, but when I saw the gameplay for this title in the early beta phase, I knew I had to try it. Being able to fly over the map and hurl fireballs and lightning from my fingertips… It was like reliving every fantasy I had as a child as a fan of Star Wars and Harry Potter.”
- Hyaljaber says: “The game is so fluid and really fun, especially when you don’t take it seriously or approach it too aggressively. Learning a new glove is easy, but perfecting the spell is hard, which I find nice. The progression system is amazing, and the talents you get really change the play style.”
- Xylated writes: “The only PvP game I’ve enjoyed playing again for a while. Every match has something satisfying to offer, with a huge variety in play style and choices.”
- MandaraAaa likes the game: “It’s a whole new kind of battle royale. The potential is really high, the matches have been fantastic so far.”
- stingingend finds the balancing not yet refined: “It’s not well-balanced. A giant map for not enough players. It’s fun but the balancing and the map ruin it for me.”
- losttotime is frustrated by some bugs: “It’s still pretty buggy, even though they’ve been doing alphas and betas for almost two years. Aside from that, it is definitely fun.”
In summary, it can be said that there are still balancing problems and bugs in Spellbreak, but the fluid gameplay and fun fights are very well received – even by players who usually don’t have much to do with battle royale.
