Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Working closely with the community is essential to how I want BreakEven to evolve.
Your feedback on gameplay, features, and balance will directly shape improvements and guide future content.
With your help, I can ensure BreakEven remains balanced and engaging!”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“I anticipate BreakEven being in Early Access for approximately 6–12 months.
This timeline may evolve based on player feedback and ongoing development.
As Early Access approaches, I'll share a detailed roadmap and keep you updated on my development plan.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“I plan to add more content during the Early Access phase.
This includes playable characters, enemies, interactive elements, and content suggested by the community.
I also plan to improve and balance the gameplay according to the feedback.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The game is currently in active development.
The current build already includes fully playable zones 1–6, endgame and featuring polished combat gameplay against a variety of enemies.
All core Idle mechanics and essential character meta-progression elements are implemented, along with the fully multicharacter offline progression.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“I plan to offer BreakEven at an introductory price during Early Access to make it accessible while development continues.
As the game expands with new content and features, the price will increase accordingly.
Rest assured, you'll receive advance notice before any price adjustments.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“I'd love to ask you to co-develop the game with me.
Your thoughts and ideas shared on Discord after each playtest and demo are incredibly valuable.
BreakEven is made for you, and your feedback will be essential in making it the best experience possible.”

About This Game

IDLE. UPGRADE. DOMINATE.

BreakEven is an idle ARPG for those that love the grind: kill, loot, upgrade, hit harder, repeat.

Combat happens passively while you focus on what matters; what to wear, where to invest your points, which build to pursue.
Step away and your hero will continue the fight. Return later and you'll find yet another upgrade waiting to be applied.

It plays like an action RPG but respects your time like an idle game.

Depth when you need it, invisible when you don't.

CHOOSE YOUR HERO

Each class plays completely differently with their own gear identity and progression tree; plate and steel for the Knight, robes and staves for the Mage, distinct weapons for the others.

Play as one, or all of them, and customize to your heart's content.

A COMBAT ENGINE WITH REAL DEPTH

  • 7 status ailments: Burn, Poison, Bleed, Freeze, Paralysis, Sleep, and Fear, each with a unique debuffing effect that slows attack speed, drains HP over time, reduces damage, forces misses and more.

  • ARPG-level math: Critical Strike chance, Critical Strike damage, Penetration, Dodge, Attack Speed, Life Steal, Spikes and Regeneration all work as a loot game veteran would expect.

  • Dozens of enemy and boss types with their own sets of attacks and ailments to exploit.

LOOT WORTH THE GRIND

  • 6 rarities from Common up to Ultimates - the deeper you go, the better the loot floor.

  • Deep affix system with item levels, set items, and unique gear to find and collect.

  • Crafting and Smithing: Create new gear, reroll existing items, and upgrade materials into precious gear components.

  • Forbidden Stashes overflowing with loot to unlock, centered around the dopamine of finding a big drop.

DESIGNED TO RESPECT YOU

  • No seasons, no chasing behind resets and stolen progress.

  • No forced prestige or character wipes. Everything you achieve is yours forever.

BreakEven is the grind without the FOMO. Idle when you can, hardcore when you want.

Start a hero. Find one more upgrade. Break even. Break everything.
