The game is fun and you can easily see the game’s potential.I like the blending of different mechanics and I think the upgrade system in particular is pretty clever. Sky Break already runs quite well and is an interesting blend of mechanics from several different genres. Sky Break already has a strong foundation and with some time to add additional content and polish up some things it could develop into great game. While Sky Break is far from being finished at this point (the final release date is quarter three 2016), that is not necessarily a bad thing. Many of these developers never even end up finishing their games. Too many developers use early access as an excuse to put out unfinished games in order to make a quick buck. I have always been kind of leery of games put out on Steam Early Access. You need to try to avoid these weather events but you can also use them against enemies to either weaken or kill them. Lightning strikes can hit you and they pack a punch. On this strange planet it will regularly storm which could be quite dangerous. The only ways to restore your oxygen levels are to either use an item or return to your base in order to refill your oxygen tanks. Since the planet you are stuck on doesn’t have a supply of oxygen you need to always keep an eye on your oxygen level. Since each chip has a different size you need to try to maximize the number of chips that you can equip at any given time. Your character has what kind of looks like a circuit board which has spaces where you can place the different chips. These chips come with different abilities that can increase your health, oxygen capacity, attack power or even give you additional combo moves. On the enemies you kill you will find computer chips. To help you with your journey the game includes an upgrade system. In your base you can use these items to create new items to help you with your adventure. You can gather resources from robots you kill, plants growing on the planet, and mineral deposits on the planet that you use droids to help extract from. You search the planet for resources that you need to use to craft items as well as rebuild your ship and find the cure for the virus. The second main mechanic in the game appears to be exploration/resource gathering. At this time the combat is pretty simple which includes a normal attack, a combo attack that is built up by hitting enemies, and a dodge. The combat works in real time as you can freely attack and dodge at any time. You are equipped with a bladed weapon that you use to kill the robots. At this stage of development your character will have to face off against the robots that have gone rogue. One of the main mechanics in the game is combat. Sky Break is kind of a mix of a bunch of different genres. The base is deserted though because the robots on the planet turned against the humans. Thankfully the planet was at one time inhabited by humans who built a station on the planet which you use as a base of operations. When you reach the planet though your spaceship crashes which strands you on the planet. In Sky Break you play as a scientist sent to a strange world in order to try to find the cure for a virus that threatens humanity. Since the game is pretty far from completion this review will not contain a score rating since it would not be fair to rate a game in this early stage. Since Sky Break was just released today (October 22nd, 2015) on Steam Early Access, Sky Break is currently in an early build and won’t be finished until the third quarter of 2016.
