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.

A 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). Spellbreak is the latest online-only battle royale contender to take on Fortnite and is out now on PSN as a free-to-play title.
