    For me the thing that really elevated Spellbreak was that mobility and tactics are more important than your basic point-and-shoot or champion-based battle royals. Levitating in Spellbreak takes the same mana used to shoot, which made evading and fighting back interesting. The different interactions and abilities also made information valuable; it was so satisfying to hide that you had a particular rune or sidearm until you've lured your opponent into the perfect trap. Very different from the titles where most fights are decided by who spots whom first.

It's rare I run into a game that's as fun as WoW or Halo was on launch, but this one managed to be. Honestly shocked at how badly it was fumbled considering the quality of content in it.

    I just remember the flying rune, so fun. And I loved the fire and wind gauntlets. I really hope they make a spiritual successor, this game was great. One thing I thought that would be a cool concept was some kind of MMO or similar type game like DCUO where the gauntlets are more like super powers, but maybe have the similar combos and movement.

    I mourn Spellbreak often. Like I have ADHD and Autism and have a lot of trouble dedicating myself to a game. It sucks honestly. But Spellbreak was different. The interaction between elements, the different movement/traversal options according to your elemental choices. I check the online shops regularly hoping that something similar will come up but they never do. I genuinely can’t think of a better game to deserve a revival.

    I think spell break just had too high a skill floor and that kept it from really gaining steam, it took too long to feel natural at the game.
    When I say natural there's different levels to that, crawling feels as natural as doing a fucking parkour course but one clearly takes more practice and skill to get to that point.
    Spell break never had a crawling phase, you basically fall off a cliff and land on your face until one day you can suddenly fly. There might be different steps to learning how to fly but if you fail at even one? Splat. It just felt like shit only until you hit all the steps and started soaring

    If the game is remade, it should be brought back in its beta form, yes its beta form had some problems but the movement and gauntlets felt perfect ( the mana gravity and movement on release was so clunky and bad), besides i think the problems the beta had is not as bad as the ones the release had.

    I disagree with you on saying the game wasn't that hard. pvp fps's while usually having a high skill ceiling are easy to pick up because Fps skill is easy to transfer from game to game. As someone who had little to no 3rd person shooter pvp experience spellbreak was hard to get a grip on. Combined with the fact that I'd get all those cool items I'd get excited to try out, just to die in the first fight I got into because it was a BR and BR's have wacky skill distribution? Never truly allowing me to explore the gameplay as much as I wanted? It was a huge turn off that eventually turned me away from a game that I literally loved every single other thing about. I'd love to see a sequel or spiritual successor that refines the gameplay and a lot of the ideas you shared were really interesting. Good video and thanks for sharing c:

  • @alexander3240
    @alexander3240 3 місяці тому +4

    Disagree with your statement about the game not being hard. I do think It was simple, but people got good so fast at that game due to its simplicity that it was kinda unplayable for people who weren't already in the know, therefore making it challenging. Your skill massively spiked once it clicked or you put in extra effort to learn it, but for casuals getting absolutely demolished without even knowing what happened, it did not make for a particularly fun experience. Unlike fortnite,warzone or apex, which at there core were just shooters in which a majority of people are familiar with and easy to pick up and play. Spellbreak being unique was a double edged sword, because its core gameplay felt so foreign, the sense of confortabilty for a casual gamer was kinda non existent once people actually new what they were doing. It felt like there were no simple basics to fall back to. For example with fortnite its building mechanic is unique and adds a massive component of skill expression but it still has the basic component of being a shooter for casuals to fall back to. Sry for the long winded comment lmao, great video tho :]

      I think a lot of people forget that simple and easy are not the same thing. The best PvP games on the market are very simple but easy is not the word I would use. The complexity for PvP games comes from playing against real players not the actual mechanics of the game. Less is more for competitive games more often then not. It's not about one big trick but a bunch of simple little ones that you add together to create a play. In shooters this is usually a combination of movement, ability play, and gun play. I do agree spell break was not as user friendly as many other shooters tend to be
