The gameplay is characterized by diverse classes that offer unique mechanics and strategies, allowing players to experiment with various builds, from aggressive to tactical approaches. The well-designed refresh mechanic gives players significant control over gameplay dynamics, enhancing the classic brick-breaker experience with skill-based elements and creative mechanics. While the graphics may not be cutting-edge, the engaging mechanics and nostalgic references to games like Breakout and Arkanoid contribute to a fun and dynamic gameplay experience.
“The classes are diverse enough to provide their own unique gameplay, along with bosses providing class-specific relics for upgrades.”
“The refresh mechanic is well done, giving the player a lot of control over how hard it is to refresh the bricks on the board, as long as they are willing to give up the resources to do so.”
“For my part, I have experimented with a few different builds, really changing the gameplay from an 'ultra quick aggressive chain burst' to a 'tactical and defensive healing/poisoning' strategy.”
“One part is due to nostalgia for Breakout/Arkanoid, but Brick Odyssey shines because of the additional game mechanics built on top.”
“The refresh mechanic is well done, with the player having a lot of control over how hard it is to refresh the bricks on the board as long as they are willing to give up the resources to do so.”
