Wanted to like it. But was just not fun to me. If you love just shooting stuff and dodging, then it might be fun. I was looking for a diablo2 in space, and that is certainly not what i got.

About This Game
Reality Break is a fast-paced ARPG with many interlocking systems and an opt-in roguelite structure, all of which is modifiable via a new Rewrite mechanic that allows you to alter the fundamental nature of the gameplay for unparalleled build customization. Take on the role of a mercenary who unwittingly becomes imbued with the power to alter reality, and finds themselves thrown into a chaotic maelstrom where other sinister and malevolent forces attempt to stop them at every turn in an evolving storyline. But can you really stop those who know what you are going to do before you even know it yourself?
In Reality Break, almost everything is modifiable with the Rewrite mechanic. Upgrade and change the attributes of your equipment, unlock mythical abilities, and change the course of the future. The possibilities are endless!
Found a powerful item that’s too big to equip on your ship? Alter its existence into something that fits! Feeling pressed for time on a mission with a ticking timer? Double the time you have left! Maybe you wish that a rare item was actually an epic? Upgrade it to an epic item... or better! Think a mission is too easy for you? Alter the difficulty and give yourself a challenge along with better rewards! A multitude of things can be altered, but such power always comes with a cost. Will you successfully balance your current needs against future benefits?
Resetting your timeline will cause a ripple effect across many elements of the game, often in surprising and subtle ways. Each time you reset, you will gain Reality Points which can be allocated to talents that majorly alter reality itself, applying those changes to both current and future pilots via a metagame talent system.
Unlocking talents always makes a big difference in the gameplay. Some talents include: expert challenges that test your skills in exchange for additional rewards, activation of ultra-powerful Fate Affixes that will sometimes appear on random loot, preservation of a favored item that you would like to bring with you to the next timeline, and even preventing the dropping of low-quality loot completely. With each new timeline, you’ll discover new elements and features to change your experience in Reality Break.
Play through multiple timelines, upgrade your ship, and discover fantastical powers for your pilot. Use the Analysis system in real-time to unlock Discoveries for your items! Come back to the game the next day or the next week to discover just how powerful your loot has gotten. If it's taking too long, Rewrite the Analysis system itself to speed it up!
Through the Codex, obtain powerful Set Bonuses by looting specific groups of item types. Then, upgrade the Codex to scale its bonuses based on the rarity of the loot you find, and even Rewrite it so you can activate more than a single Set Bonus at a time! Buy ship upgrades from the Tech Specialist, including slots for brand new types of equipment, such as deadly Drones that grant unique bonuses. Your ship can only fit so many upgrades, so choose wisely... or grow strong enough to Rewrite those limitations out of existence!
Altering the fabric of reality itself is no trivial power. It will not go unnoticed. You may get away with it for some time, but as your capabilities increase, so too will the threats you awaken! With each timeline, you unlock new shocking secrets, change the outcome of previous scenarios and reveal new ways of looking at the universe.
Throughout your journey, you will discover how exactly you obtained the power to change reality, what your purpose with this power is, who really benefits from this power, and how it will affect you in the end. You are, for better or worse, never alone. Forces swirl around you, and the more you use your powers, the more noticed you will be. Can you uncover the truth before reality itself shatters into pieces? Just how far are you willing to go to make reality your own?

Grindy in a bad way. You replay the campaign ground hog day style, but the missions are survivors style and you don't keep anything between runs. A looter game that takes your loot feels bad man.
It seems cool at first and then you find out it is not.
Disappointing Experience – Looks Great, Plays Poorly If you’re a keyboard-and-mouse player, beware. The controls are painfully awkward — ship turning is so sensitive that even tapping a key spins you in a full circle. The alternative control style, relative control scheme, but it’s just as twitchy. There’s no sense of weight to your ship at all, making movement feel floaty and disconnected. Weapons lack any real impact; firing them feels more like pushing air than unleashing firepower. I gave it less than an hour, and honestly, that was enough. The game looks fantastic in trailers, but outside of flashy lights, it’s surprisingly bland and basic. Maybe my expectations were too high, but I found myself bored far faster than I expected.
EDIT 2: I got to the endgame, and I'll say there are elements that are definitely disappointing, which I hate to say about this game. It has a lot of neat build opportunities, loot is plentiful, the graphics are flashy and surprisingly beautiful, and this has some of the best feeling controls to a space shooter that I've seen in a while. Combat feels smooth, surprisingly cinematic at times, and is just a joy to look at. It has a LOT of good things going for it. Its biggest weakness is that it appears to have significant depth, yet struggles to deliver the content to achieve that depth. Much of the loot feels superfluous, and upon reaching the endgame, it felt very much like I had experienced almost everything the game has to offer. For an indie game produced by a single person, this is an EXTREMELY impressive effort, and has some absurdly complex systems that can lend to some really incredible builds and gameplay. But in the end, it's a space shooter where you fly about and shoot, and ...
Scratches many itches, good progression and interesting story.
The game is well-made. After 70 hours of playtime, here’s my input: 1. More weapon variety – Add unique types to keep combat fresh. 2. Better endgame – Include more mission types (mining, racing, quick puzzles). Avoid long puzzles—players often dislike them. 3. Expanded skill tree – Limit some nodes to unlock new playstyles, not just maxing everything. 4. More weapon mods – Example: A laser mod splits beams into three but reduces damage by 30% per line. 5. Improved gear upgrades – Current crafted gear trivializes post-Challenge 40. Add fusion/enchantment systems. 6. Optimization fixes – FPS drops below 10 with high-end hardware (RTX 5080, 13th-gen CPU) during heavy projectile use.
Space diablo with an interesting gimmick. Worth your cash
I just had a lot of fun
A well made and well polished game. You can tell the dev made it with alot of love and actually played and test the game themselves. The only criticism is even on a i7 13700k, rtx 4080s, 32gb ddr5. The game still have occasional slow downs and stutters after long play sessions.
