    The art style for this game is beautiful, the concept is neat, but the execution is horrible. It really does feel like a poorly ported mobile game with how it takes forever to grind for resources. I really hope the creators of this game can polish it more so it will feel more like a proper finished product. For now, it's best to avoid it.

    First impressions: pretty graphics, nice music, runs at like... 15fps, which is whatever. But there's SLOWDOWN anytime there's a lot of action going on. Feels like an SNES game, right down to the main character sounding EXACTLY like Link when he attacks. This is really obviously a mobile game first, but it's decent enough. I can see myself wasting some more time on this in the future.

    Breaking Gates is a promising indie metroidvania with charming graphics and nice atmosphere. The gameplay is fun with straighforward mechanics: hit/jump/dash plus unlockable special moves. The game offers hours of gameplay with: many areas to explore; so far the early-access game includes 2 full chapter plus 2 more worlds apparently in the works main quests and daily side missions a variety of enemies, with a main boss at the end of each world (bosses are quite difficult) special moves to…

    It has been more than a year since this game last update - which only release less than half of the content since then.

    In it's current form, I cannot recommend this game. It doesn't appear to be a resource-intense game at all, but plays at an unbearable sluggish pace. It shows potential, but still quite rough around the edges.

    First of all, this is a PC port from mobile Here if you want to see some gameplay: https://youtu.be/WCEdSFTwv4s For the graphics and animations there is not too much to say, they are pretty nice and the best thing is the contrast between characters and environment. Gameplay wise, it's pretty basic but i like that every piece of gear you have gives some of stats. (for example sword with attack for basics or technique for abilities) You need to grind a little for some gear and level before…

    Graphically Breaking Gates looks good, gameplay though feels like a Mobile Game ported straight to Steam with no changes. Attacks have no weight to them and you just hold down the attack to combo, frame drops occur all the time and there are multiple currencies to upgrade items. For gameplay of Breaking Gates check out my video here: https://youtu.be/tCMfxpOJPQI

    Written By Hidden Gems Review : https://store.steampowered.com/curator/38624426/ Breaking Gates it's a wonderfull Action RPG plataformer. At the beggining of the game I thougt was kind of meh game but after playing a while there are a lot of options for make it a powerfull rpg game. Normally I get bored with plataform games but sometimes not, this one it's the case, pretty original 2d visual and good gameplay, not saying it's the best rpg but for pass time playing something it's good enought…

    Breaking Gates is a mobile app that's been dumped on Steam as if it was a real PC game (it's not)... it's a cash grab from greedy mobile devs. The game is one of literally thousands of amateur platformers on Steam. While this game does feature bespoke art and isn't a pure asset flip, it was slapped together with GMS which should tell gamers all they need to expect about the quality here... yeah, there is none. This is a bit of a train wreck, in fact. Taking the game seriously, it's an…

    A atualização 1.2 resolveu os 2 maiores problemas que eu tinha com o jogo: o visual embaçado e as caixas de colisão. Como todo jogo em Acesso Antecipado, ainda há espaço para muitas melhorias, mas recomendo tranquilamente o game em seu estado atual.

    A bit complicated but also very accessible I would say that you have to take your marks and farm so that it is simpler You will inevitably die while exploring the worlds but you really have everything available to make your adventure easier - companion - magic potion - dungeons - merchant With a multitude of equipment to improve and Personally, I find him a bit sadistic for those who want to complete the worlds 😂 Many chests are very well hidden 🙂 If I gave advice, it would be to…

    https://youtu.be/r36zazyy9PQ So often in gaming as it is is life, the devil is in the details. Oh sure that new car looks great, sounds great, has all the toys, but then you buy it, and the second you try to actually go anywhere, it empties its fuel tank and deposits the tyre treads on the road within the first 5 miles. Not what you imagined you'd when you bought your shiny new compensation tool was it? With that in mind, let's take a look at Breaking Gates, a 2D action platforming RPG…
