We need to talk about Breakpoint because it's now confirmed to be releasing with Linux support on September 24 and I think you need to put this on your wishlists. Mentioned before here on GOL early in August because it looked interesting but I didn't realise just how brilliant the idea actually was.
You've played twin-stick shooters but what if they took away ranged weapons? There's no pew-pew lasers or firing tons of rockets here. Instead, you get an axe or a sword, it's a melee twin-stick slasher soaked in neon and your weapons explode destroying things around you after building up power. What more do you need?
Check out the latest trailer below:
Direct Link
Feature Highlight:
- Master the challenges of a single, focused game mode.
- Wield five distinct melee weapons, each with three levels of upgrades.
- Break your weapons, annihilating everything in the blast zone.
- Dodge through swarms of twelve different enemies.
- Compete with your friends for score, or reach for the top of the global leaderboard.
- Watch the best run of anyone in the world through the replay system.
- Full support for keyboard & mouse, as well as controllers.
The publisher, Quantum Astrophysicists Guild, sent over a key already and I can tell you it works beautifully but I won't say much more than that until release. It's safe to say though, if you enjoy intense action you're going to need to hit the wishlist button on Steam.
