Kinda makes me wonder how big the playerbase is on the Switch, compared to the other consoles? I play on Switch, and really enjoy this game! Probably one of my favorite games I've played in a while, just don't want it to die down on the Switch and leave me stranded, unless I want to play duos/squads with a random PC/Xbox/PS4 player. I suppose if this became an issue, Switch crossplay would probably be tweaked.

Switch playerbase is overall healthy, but as I mentioned in another reply, some regions simply don't have many Switches period (as in, there aren't even that many hardware units, let alone those playing Spellbreak). We're keeping an eye on that and may tweak things further on a per-region basis.

Kinda love this concept tbh

Could there be a possibility of adding maybe a slider for crossplay that could get you into different buckets? As a switch player I wouldn't mind trying to play against ps4 and xbox players as switch lobbies still are fairly bot dominated (Australia at least).

I can understand why it may not happen but I would interested.

It's an interesting idea. Obviously we wouldn't allow you to go to a "lower" platform, but an opt-in to go "higher" is possible.

We are also looking at adjusting the buckets per-region. Some regions (e.g. South America) have very few Switch consoles at all, which can lead to a subpar experience.

Happy to help! We're going to try to clear up some of the in-game messaging about this too.

And how does it work for solos? I ask because I mostly solo on PS4 with crossplay enabled, and will sometimes fight pc players. Never seen an xbox or switch player, but absolutely do fight pc players from time to time.

Solo is "you're in your bucket, period", since parties (and cross-platform parties) are not a thing. So, Switch Solo is always only against other Switch players, XB1/PS4 is separate, PC is separate.

[edit] If you see a PC-ish looking icon, that means they're on the opposite platform, not on PC. (Sony and Microsoft each prefer to pretend the other doesn't exist, so we can't show the other's platform's icons. That icon is intended as "generic other platform".)

Btw, if you don't mind me asking - do you have any idea if the store will generally be a set number of items? For example, it's been 7 items pretty much since launch, then 10 items last night.

I'm building out templates for 7, 10, and 12 currently but want to have things ready to go ideally so I can post right after reset. Not sure if you're able to answer that but just wondering lol

You’ll see 10 for a bit but wouldn’t get too fixed on it some other formats will happen at some point :)

Hi y'all, I wanted to give some more information on how crossplay works in Spellbreak to clear up some common misconceptions.

Enabling crossplay allows you to create parties with players on other platforms. This is always enabled on Switch and PC, but you have the option to disable crossplay on PS4 and Xbox One. (Sony and Microsoft require this.) On those platforms, you can enable/disable Crossplay from the Accounts page.

MYTH: Enabling cross-play on PS4/XB1 means I'll be playing against PC players. Not true! You will only play against PC players if you have a PC player in your party.

MYTH: Switch players are playing at a disadvantage, since they are against PC/PS4/XB1 players. Not true! Switch players will only play against other Switch players, unless you have a player from PC or another console in your party.

FACT: Disabling Crossplay increases the time between ma...

Plenty of devs on this reddit :D

In addition to potions, this allows you to put Runes and Gauntlets in your pocket hotslots. You can quickly switch your offhand gauntlet for a gauntlet in your hotbar, or quickly swap out your rune. (Note that sorcery/rune starts on cooldown whenever you swap.)

It's definitely challenging to learn how to take advantage of this, but it's really powerful in the hands of a skilled player.

Trying to get this out as soon as possible, but final release date is not entirely up to us so can't give a firm ETA.

I believe you will not see this problem if you disable Aim Assist in your settings. (It's a crappy workaround, I know.)

Hi, I’m Smash. :)

I made a little template for the shop to post each day. Had to quickly throw something together for the extra row of items (not that I'm complaining!).

I'll try to make something neater in the future, just wanted to improve on my shop post from yesterday. :D

EDIT: just noticed the super obvious color difference between the bottom boxes. RIP. Lol I had it all pretty and setup for the 7 items and then I was like YAY MORE ITEMS, but also like... ohno my template.

This message is brought to you by MSpaint.

Also beats the spreadsheet I’ve been staring at :)

Hey Breakers, 

Like I mentioned in the Spellbreak Day 8 post on Reddit, it’s time to discuss our roadmap for Spellbreak! Roadmaps lay out plans for the future of the game and what we’re going to be doing over the next months and potentially years in some cases. We’ll try to make these posts regularly, but by design, that will likely be around once a quarter.

TIL I'm a mod.

Edit: FYI folks, there are *ways* we have of ensuring that these wonderful individuals don't make accounts over and over again, and it's not IP banning (generally speaking IP banning is not a good practice and isn't a reliable way to capture these exceptional individuals). There are other methods that are more reliable.

Also, the beheading shall continue until morale improves.

Hello there! We currently do not have anything built in but as someone with a more extreme color deficiency I do have a solution that will help you in and out of game on your computer.

There is a color filter baked into Windows 10. To use it:

  1. Press the windows key
  2. Type color filter
  3. Press enter
  4. Turn on the filter
  5. Pick the option that suits your needs best.

I've only recently found out about this option and hope it helps you as much as it's helped me. I use it for different applications and even when I am editing photos or watching a show.

Accessibility is important to us so do know we are working on in game solutions. The option I've shared has worked better for me than any in game one. Give it a try, I hope it works out for you.
