About Vaultbreakers
Vaultbreakers is a hardcore top-down PvE and PvPvE Action RPG (April test is PvPvE only) that blends epic brawler combat with tense, tactical extraction gameplay. Fight alongside friends —or as a lone wolf— to survive intense, dangerous missions in a dynamic fantasy world. Defeat deadly foes, outsmart rival players, and claim your spoils.
Key Features:
-
Reactive Gameplay: Missions evolve based on actions from players and NPCs, offering a fresh experience each time. Polluted areas, secret caves, and ancient rituals are just a few examples of what might unfold.
-
Unpredictable Enemies: Face off against Changelings, a faction of shapeshifters controlled by advanced AI or other players. Will you attack, avoid, or align with these chaotic foes?
-
High-Stakes Battles: Every attack is punishing but can all be avoided, and every enemy is vulnerable if you strike at the right moment. Outsmarting foes is as critical as overpowering them, so pick your fights carefully.
-
Unique Playstyles: Choose from various Champions, unlock perks, craft items, and awaken Artifacts to tailor your abilities and enhance your gameplay.
-
Rich Storytelling: Immerse yourself in the lore of the Vaultguard, an order sworn to protect the world from ancient darkness.
-
Endless Challenges: Engage in quests, climb leaderboards, and tackle competitive challenges to prove your dominance.
📅 Mark your calendars: Servers will be open from April 9th, 9am CEST – April 13th, 11:59 PM CEST
