Breakers

The Breakers series currently has two active projects: the retro compilation Visco Arcade 1 and Visco Arcade 2 cartridges for Evercade, releasing August 28, and the free-to-play animation action RPG Limit Zero Breakers, which completed its first closed beta test in June 2026 and is scheduled for release in the first half of 2026 on PC and smartphones.

Synthesized from 3 Yomimono stories · updated 1h ago

The Breakers name now covers two separate projects with no direct narrative or development connection. The first is a retro arcade compilation: Blaze Entertainment announced Visco Arcade 1 and Visco Arcade 2, two Evercade cartridges releasing August 28 for $29.99 each. The pair includes 16 games from defunct Japanese developer Visco, among them Breaker's and Captain Tomaday. Pre-orders are open.

The second project is Limit Zero Breakers, an animation action RPG developed by VIC GAME STUDIOS and published by NC, with Japanese promotion by KADOKAWA. The game is a Japan-Korea co-creation project set in the fantasy world of Seraphia, where characters called Breakers search for the God's Library. The story is described as "a story that does not save the world, but saves oneself." The heroine Shion owns the airship Weaverwell and seeks fragments of Angelos' eye, meeting protagonist Kaito.

Limit Zero Breakers held its first closed beta test, the "Prologue β Test," from June 11 to June 15, 2026, on Steam, iOS, and Android. Two Japanese outlets, 4Gamer.net and Denfaminicogamer, published hands-on impressions based on the PC version. Both praised the combat system, which combines just actions (evasion and parry) with elemental reactions from chaining skills. Denfaminicogamer noted the opening scene includes an unexpected party wipe with animated death scenes. The beta included raid battles against Primal Ones, a tower-style Phantom Pavilion, and Challenge of Great Feats. The game is planned for release in the first half of 2026 on PC via Steam and PURPLE, as well as smartphones, and is free-to-play.

Limit Zero Breakers CBT Hands-On Reports Praise Combat and Character Work

The animation action RPG "Limit Zero Breakers" (PC / iOS / Android) began its first closed beta test, the "Prologue β Test," on June 11, 2026, running through June 15. The game is a Japan-Korea co-creation project developed by VIC GAME STUDIOS, published by NC, with Japanese promotion by KADOKAWA. It is scheduled for release in the first half of 2026. Two Japanese outlets, 4Gamer.net and Denfaminicogamer, published early hands-on impressions based on the PC version. Both reports highlight the combat system, which combines just actions (evasion and parry) with elemental reactions triggered by chaining skills in sequence. The story follows Breakers-adventurers who can manipulate elemental powers-searching for the God's Library in the fantasy world of Seraphia. The theme is described as "a story that does not save the world, but saves oneself." The heroine Shion, owner of the airship Weaverwell, seeks fragments of Angelos' eye and meets protagonist Kaito. Denfaminicogamer noted the opening scene includes an unexpected party wipe with animated death scenes, which drew the writer into the story. Both outlets praised the character presentation and comedic timing, with Denfaminicogamer stating the game understands the pacing of Japanese anime. The beta includes raid battles against Primal Ones, a tower-style Phantom Pavilion, and Challenge of Great Feats.
