VOID/BREAKER

Game that would be great if it focused more on gunplay and less on forcing the player to engage with its destruction gimmick, every enemy past the first zone is just a massive bullet sponge, becoming marginally more killable if you stance break them, and then zone 3 just becomes incredibly tedious with seemingly every enemy becoming "armoured" which means they take virtually no damage unless you break them. Game was incredibly enjoyable in the first zone, but later zones have made the entire experience worse.

Put camera movement to 0 and the camera still shakes around when I sprint. I'm so tired of devs who's heads must flail around wildly when they walk IRL

As a massive movement shooter/roguelite fps fan, I can tell that this game has potential. I find the destruction and stagger-based combat to be refreshing. However currently it's clear to me that this game needs a bit more time to cook. It lacks variety and the first boss feels too limiting in regards to the number of viable mods and builds that can feasibly beat it. There's also a bit too much unnecessary downtime between areas where the grind rails are. Will re-visit once this launches into 1.0. Would recommend playing roboquest or gunfire reborn in the meantime.

It's okay until you fight a boss. Or do a second run. Boss design couldn't be worse for an FPS. Instead of shooting the boss like you would expect, you have to run around in circles throwing grenades at pillars and then you pick up rocks to throw at the boss. Repeat about 10x, stun him, do damage, boss stops being stunned and repeat. Crazy fast game and then you run into that ♥♥♥♥. Really messes with the flow everything. Run to run variety isn't enough to stay interesting for more than an hour or two either. I beat the game when it had 2 zones in about an hour and a half. I came back today and started a new save, beat all 4 zones my first run. Decently interesting and difficult gameplay for that first run and then it just drops off a cliff. The boss ♥♥♥♥ is by far the hardest thing to get over. Should be way more like Returnal. Once that get's changed I'll give it another shot. Edit: Overload has been removed! A massive win! At the moment I am going to leave this review at negative because the other things I mentioned still get in the way, but it is absolutely refreshing to see such a responsive dev and there is an ever increasing chance that after a few more updates this becomes the go to FPS roguelike

I’ve spent a lot of time in the demo, and Void/Break is incredible! The gameplay is a perfect mix of fast-paced arena action and rogue-lite progression, with satisfying physics and destructible environments—you jump between platforms, open chests, and gear up, which keeps every run feeling fresh and exciting. Combat feels fluid and skill-based, with an edge that reminded me of classic arena shooters like Quake or Doom, but in PvE with its own modern twist. The developer is fantastic, constantly releasing patches and updates that make the game even better. If you love challenging, high-energy arena shooters with rewarding progression, this one’s a must-play! Update: The HARD RESET Major Update is now live, and it’s easily the biggest update yet. It adds Zone 4 with larger, fully destructible arenas, introduces wallrunning, a new weapon: SMG, new enemies and modules, and a ton of balance and quality-of-life improvements that make the game feel even better to play. Loved it! I Just played 6 hours in a row. That alone should tell you how good this game is. Wow! Updated review: On my 10th run, I completed my first Insanity run—and wow. The game becomes absolutely intense and chaotic later on, especially once the modifiers stack and the weapon builds get completely wild. Every fight feels like controlled madness in the best way possible. Now it’s time to beat the game again on insanity using all the modifiers. Let’s go!

The gameplay is so smooth, and I was blown away by the cinematic at the end of Act 1. I can't wait until the next update (**** the potato upgrade, I forgot I dropped my resolution to 720p for it and ended up watching the whole cinematic in 720p instead of 1440p).

Pure FPS gun play perfection. Its like all the core mechanics from all the best shooters distilled into one perfect FPS. Then add the near limitless gun customisations... brilliant! Aesthetics, graphics and sound design are excellent. Fully destructible environments! This game deserves everyone's attention.
