CosmicBreak is an anime style 3D MMO third person shooter adventure with big robots, colorful and explosive battles, and fast-paced missions in a world long ruled by galactic anarchy. The long-dormant race of gigantic robots called Arks have suddenly awakened to find their galaxy is now ruled by the evil Chaos. The eons of dormancy have drained energy from the remaining three Arks of Courage, Strength, and Wisdom, and now only enough energy remains for one of them to fully revive with the power to vanquish the evil Chaos.

Dedicated followers of each of the three great Arks have formed three rival Unions, each battling for the right to revive their respective Ark.

Which Union will emerge as the one super power to defeat Chaos and determine the fate of the world?

 

 

Arena Mode: The game combines fast and furious action shooter action (PvP Arena Battles, Capture the Flag, etc.) with powerful robots, blasting fire power, and fighting mayhem! Players fight in explosive matches of up to 60 people at once by controlling several of over 50 character-piloted robots.

Mission Mode with five levels of difficulty: Join forces with other players to challenge the evil Chaos army NPCs. Up to five players can form a party and launch their devastating assault!  

Quest Mode: Go treasure hunting on vast and unexplored planets. Endless monsters and mazes challenge players’ very survival!

 

The many small, medium, and large robots in CosmicBreak are divided into four types:

 Air: Longer-lasting boosters; specialize in mid-air agility and air-based attacks;

 Land: On-ground combat and melee attacks; speed and maneuverability;

Artillery: Long-range attack; stronger projectile weapons with superior firepower; and

Support:  Balanced robots without major strengths or weaknesses; special repair skills.

 

Using the unique Editor System, players are free to mix, match, disassemble, and rebuild their robots however they see fit. Experimenting with over 300 parts and weapons plays an important role in developing stronger robots and gaining an edge over other players in the Arena. Robots may also be custom painted using the Skin Editor, and some parts may even be reshaped using the Polygon Editor.
