trying to become as efficient with these
same characters you then realize just
how inspiring it is to master their
abilities. Characters are all rather
accessible, however to master
characters like the always on the move
Assassin or the Battle Medic with his or
her terrible side arm, getting used to
these characters while it take more time
with some more than others, is
extremely rewarding.
From my experience long term
success in Lawbreakers comes by way
of mastering your characters skills
among a cooperative team of players
who are driven to ply together and

Lawbreakers is a complete
F
rom the mind of Cliff
Bleszinski, the uber talented
game creator that brought us
the undeniable Gears of War
series, comes a new and very
affordable dedicated
multiplayer-only arena shooter, known
simply as Lawbreakers. With a team
(Boss Key Production) headed by Cliff
Bleszinski and operated by COO Arjan
Brusse, former co-founder of Guerrilla
Games creating the acclaimed Killzone
series, Lawbreakers leaps into this
years shooter scene with high-octane,
break neck speed gameplay.
Lawbreakers currently offers nine
character classes, each with an
opposing alter ego of good vs evil.
Classes consist of the Vanguard,
Enforcer (my personal favorite), Titan,
Assassin, Gunslinger, Juggernaut, Battle
Medic, Wraith and Harrier, all supported
with customization’s for character skins,
primary weapon skins and stickers.
Including secondary weapon skins and
blast to play!
stickers and various Kick Decals for
each character.
While some have considered
Lawbreakers to be a shooter along the
same lines as Blizzards ever popular
Overwatch, I beg to differ. Sure,
Lawbreakers operates along a unique
set of character skill sets, Lawbreakers
plays quite original, offering an anti-
gravity playing field pitting deadly
combatants known as the Law and
Breakers against each other in a variety
of gameplay modes across a motley of
asymmetric maps.
So far there are eight maps,
consisting of Granview, Promenade,
Mammoth, Station, Reactor, Vertigo,
Redfalls and Trench, all with their own
unique level designs. Bringing the
combatants together game modes are
comprised of five slightly altered modes
shooters fans should be used to, just
with bit of a twist.
Having played with all the playable
characters, Lawbreakers is definitely not
for the faint of heart. While all the
characters look absolutely awesome
with their progressive skin updates,
becoming effectively proficient with
many of the characters can be
challenge. Forget about the ease of play
for you noobs who love to camp and get
away with lame kills to pad your kill/
death ratio, Lawbreakers is not that
game. Fast and furious, Lawbreakers is
all about mastering your character of
choice while working cooperatively with
your team if you are seeking to be
victorious.
Impressively the level designs
compliment each of the unique
characters quite well. Gameplay is
nicely balanced for the most part,
however there are times when
characters such as Wraith with his
incredible elusiveness, the Gunslinger
with his powerful dead-eyed pistols and
warped evasive traversal speed can
really frustrate you when you are on the
dying side of their trigger pull. Yet, when
accomplish the objectives.
Unfortunately, for players looking for
something different while being solely
rewarded with an attractive kill count, at
the moment Lawbreakers does not offer
a traditional team deathmatch mode.
While we would like Lawbreakers to
offer a team deathmatch mode, as well
as more options before beginning each
match, such as giving players a choice
