Sky Break is an open-world game on an abandoned planet filled with tempests and wild mechas. Learn to master this world and to hack the mechas if you want a chance to survive.



Hack and command mechas
Mechas are wild and are used to living in the storm. You must fight some of them for your survival, but they are often stronger than you are. Your best chance of survival is to hack some of those mechas and use them as allies to defeat the others.



Evolve
The more combats you win, the more fragments you earn. They can be used to evolve your mechas' strength and skills. But you can also find some during exploration. Your character can also improve its capabilities.



The Tempest
The weather is an important threat. You must face lightning strikes, tornadoes, and other elements in order to make your way through the storm. You will be able to activate old installations used to ionize the air and stop the tempest within an area. And thankfully an old station above the clouds, left over by humans, provides good shelter.



The Spaceship
You have access to your spaceship early in the game, but you do not have enough fuel to leave the planet. It is impossible to land within the tempest, but once you have unlocked some weather controllers, you will be able to travel quickly over the map and save a lot of time.




Collect and craft
Find several resources along the journey and use them to craft useful items. You can also use a greenhouse directly inside your station if you want to grow and farm plants by yourself.

A new mecha is now available: the deer mecha. As always, it has two variants: a head attack and a charging attack from the distance. It can only be found in the ice island.




Final cinematic, translations and more

Finally the game has an ending cinematic, which concludes the story.

[TimC]

The final update is now here !

It focuses on a "boss" mecha, the limited ammo, the lost logbooks and many optimizations/fixes.
There have been also a lot of adjustments in order to give you the smoother gameplay experience as possible.

The boss mecha

This mecha is different from the others. It is harder to destroy, it is stronger, and it uses special capacities.
If you beat it, you will not be able to hack it, but you will be well rewarded.




Limited ammo

Starting from this update, standard ammunition will become an important part of the game. As it will become limited, engaging combat will not be as straightforward as before.
Ammo can be either crafted or found inside lost chests.




Lost logbooks

Did you know what happened on this planet before your arrival? How can there be uncontrolled mechas? Why was this planet abandoned by humans?
Now is the time to get some answers. Previous humans left logbooks behind, explaining many details about their missions and how things evolved.




We really hope you will have fun with this last major update of Sky Break !
