About the Game

Charge. Break. Defeat. Repeat.




We mixed elements from classic arcade games with modern sensibilities to bring you Breakpoint: a challenging top-down score chaser featuring melee weapons that explode.

In a twist on the twin-stick formula, you have no ranged attack. Instead, slice, crush, and blast your way through the swarm. Push your weapons to their breakpoint to unleash a devastating explosion on your enemies. Break, charge, and break your weapons again as you fight to stay alive.

Features:

  • 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.
