Stronger together
Videogames put us right at the centre of their worlds, often positioning us as the most important person within them. Yet even in the most traditional power fantasies, playing as a self-appointed ‘Chosen One’, we’d rarely get anywhere without assistance. Tempting though it can be to go it alone, knowing when to ask for help is an important skill to learn.
In Beast Breaker, the debut game from Threes creator Asher Vollmer’s new studio, you play a tiny mouse tasked with chipping away the armour of a succession of colossal monsters. To even those mismatched odds, the courageous Skipper will be able to call upon friends to forage ingredients in preparation for battle, and to interrupt a beast once the fight starts to prevent it from launching a rampage.
