Breakpoint
The Quantum Astrophysicists Guild have announced their latest game for the Nintendo Switch: Breakpoint, a stylized twin-stick arcade game developed by Studio Aesthesia. It will be released later this year in Europe and North America.
Here’s a trailer, some details, and the list of key features for the game:
Defeat waves of enemies with melee weapons that EXPLODE after reaching their breaking point, dealing devastating damage across the blast zone. ‘Breakpoint’ is inspired by early 2000s arcade titles like ‘Geometry Wars,’ where action and mayhem go hand in hand. Grab hold of a hammer, double-sided ax – even a katana! – and other weapons to conquer waves of enemies.
- Unlike traditional twin-stick titles, ‘Breakpoint’ uses melee combat
- Destroying enemies gains XP for the weapon, not the player
- Many layers of discovery, including evolution trees for each weapon
- Maxed out weapons become powerful AOE attack opportunities
Breakpoint (Switch – eShop) comes out later this year in Europe and North America. The Upcoming Games page has been updated!
