Spellbreak, a BotW like Battle Royale game

[wwm0nkey]

So I am pretty much done with the more realistic BR genre and thought I was kinda done with BR in general, but honestly, this looks fantastic and wasn't aware of it at all until today, they have an Alpha Signup as well.



What I really like is that depending what your primary and secondary spells are, your attacks have different effects.

Kinda hope this game does have traditional PvP too, because the combat looks legit fun.

 

[Tuco Benedicto Pacifico]

Not bad. It may need a bit of polishing to not overdo its visual effects, but I like the overall style.

 

[Razor Mom]

Botw in that the particle effects are slightly cell shaded and the characters have hoods?

Looks cool, though. Would love to see them really push the spell concept.

 

[TheUnseenTheUnheard]

Oh thank god I thought this was going to be a kickstarter. Consider me interested.

That and they seem to have a lot of physics based movement options.

I kinda would like to see a single player mode lol

Yeah, the gameplay makes me want more than BR, but I will also play BR for sure.

 

[Fanta]

I've always thought that BOTW is a good basis for a BR game, especially due to its reactive and dynamic world. Eventide Island is pretty much that almost, just super condensed.

 

[Drain You]

I'd play this. Wonder if its going to come to consoles at some point. Visually its taking a lot of cues from BOTW, not a bad thing.

 

[Bjones]

Man you are not kidding they practically stole the whole art style to botw.

 

[ody]

Looks neat

 

[udivision]

I... wanna play a good Avatar: The Last Airbender game, all of a sudden .

 

[Sou Da]

Damn, headline made me think they were doing a limited durability melee weapon BR.

[Kyzon Xin]

This looks pretty damn cool. I could easily see myself playing a lot of this

 

[Seeya]

It does look to take a lot of inspiration from botw. I'll give it a shot!

Damn, that does sound good. I'd love a physics based medieval sequence BR that focused on melee, and/or with Demons Souls like combat to a degree.

 

[xyla]

Looks good, but it might be too hectic for me.

 

[Deleted member 1839]

Looks cool.

 

[Nintendo]

What a waste of good art. They could've made something special with that talent.

 

[Shadow]

Looks pretty fun. I kinda like how fast it is too. Signed up for the alpha!

I imagine this is the more budget/investor friendly option of whatever it is you're thinking

True. I hope it takes off and they have enough budget to make something bigger. It seems like they're very talented devs.

 

[ZiZ]

Any chance this'll have a single player campaign?

 

[Deleted member 27751]

I really don't see the BotW characteristics outside of cell-shading which I'd argue is more Dragon Ball like.

I gotta say that looks like a ton of fun. It works well with the BR sense because it's all skillshot spells which look great for impact but I wonder how you can tie the BR styling of dropping 100 players in to fight. Main task is figuring out why players would start with nothing and build up, are the spells found in the world?

 

[Lost]

Looks awesome!

[Sou Da]

Click to shrink...

I can see it happening, make them books or scrolls or something

 

[Keasar]

I'd gladly give that a try, looks pretty fun.

 

[Toasty]

I'm really liking the look of this. I'd be absolutely terrible but it still looks interesting.

 

[Sou Da]

The name for this developer is pretty good I gotta admit.

 

[MrConbon210]

Is this PC only?

 

[NeonBorealis]

I'm usually not interested in the whole Battle Royale as a genre.

But having the players be wizards who launch all kinds of spells left and right?

Sign me up and inject it in my veins.

Maybe I'll have a computer that can run it by the time it comes out.

 

[Deleted member 1839]

Click to shrink...

Seems like the alpha might be.

 

[Dizagaox]

Not to sound ominous, but I feel like this game should try to get to market ASAP...

 

[KaCo]

Defiantly in for the wizardry. Video looks interesting.
Thanks for the heads up OP.

 

[ynthrepic]

Fortnite is more freeform and sandboxy than even BOTW so i figured this would be doing something like that. The spell combinations seem more like Divinity: Original Sin

 

[Philly Cheesesteak]

Are we really going to call every cel shaded game moving forward BoTW inspired?

I'm basing this off the physics combos too

some of the visual effects look straight out of BoTW

 

[Crossing Eden]

Comparing it to BOTW seems like a really blatant, "I need to directly compare this to a popular game" type of thread. BOTW isn't the first nor the last game to have physics play a big part or to incorporate a toon shader.

 

[Jobbs]

I've played this a couple of times. The graphics and visual style are really nice, and do look kind of like how BOTW would look if it were designed for PC hardware

Click to shrink...

No, but this game does have a similar overall visual style as BOTW.

Ni No Kuni 2 as a recent example is cel shaded and does not remind me of BOTW the way this does.

What do you think of the gameplay?

It's a fun game. Promising. I don't want to review it because I've played it so little and in such an early state, but it's certainly far more interesting to me than Fortnite

Well, who better to do it than Platinum with a Legend of Korra!

I'm so sorry. :(

 

[ABK281]

Damn, those are two things I very much dislike, it's like this game is begging for my disdain.

Can't even climb trees in Fortnite.




I would love a BR game in different regions of BOTWs Hyrule. I would pay long coin for that.

Hopefully I get into the alpha lol

 

[Titik]

Looks like it might be a good base game for waterbenders, airbenders, firebenders, etc.

Climbing trees is nothing compared to the ridiculous freedom of navigation you have in Fortnite.


Fortnite has genuinely made other shooters less fun for me because of how it's level design and navigation works.
