Almost 200hrs in. Dont let the negative feedbacks fool you...there are barely any and when there are, its for minor reasons! So : You love Gathering & Base building? Buy it! You love Tower Defense? Buy it! You love managing resources in multiple ways...while any ways win? Buy it! You love exploring, You love hack & slash? Buy it! Yes, the developement of multi-player is a bit slow... Its not a multibillion $ company so : Suck-it-up haters...They promised it and its coming when its gonna ready... Give it a go! Give it a second go when multi-player is released! Twice your investment! The game crashed on me maybe 3 times over 200hrs of gameplay, and like any games : You get use to auto save, you never really loose much gameplay time. All in all, this game is a GEM!!! And i'd love to see more developpers work on such wide-type-areas of gameplay. If you still have doubts...then I dont know what kind of game your looking for... Your probly reading the 1/1000 negative feed back and making your opinion out of a single soul who has a negative opinion on so many levels...or a tunnel vision on a single aspect of the game that turned him off.

Amazing and well designed 3rd person basebuilding and combat. This style can be a tricky beast to make fun and not overwhelm the player, and EXOR have done it. There are peaceful moments, intense moments, and it's all fun and thoughtful. I especially love how they have avoided the trope of "evil corporate greed exploits alien planet". The main character is very concerned about conservation and understanding the local ecology, while the AI mecha suit takes a more objective oriented view. Much of the dialogue is actually discussions and disagreements about preserving or saving local organisms / ecosystems. How refreshing!!!! I have played the base game and all available DLC as of the date of this review, and I've enjoyed everything they have to offer. I highly recommend Riftbreaker!

Riftbreaker is one of those "Ronseal" games that 'does exactly what it says on the tin'. It scratches the build-a-fort-and-defend-it itch like a tower defence game but fleshes out that core premise with characters & narrative, exploration, research & upgrades etc etc. It's a small indie team so it's not got AAA production values but what is here is competent and well made. I've decided to write this review now because some entitled, ignorant ****-wits are spreading misinformation about the game and leaving negative reviews that are completely unjustifiable. Riftbreaker was NOT designed or advertised with co-op or multiplayer in mind but since the game has been relatively successful the developers are currently working to add it. This is a considerable task for a small team and the fact that people with zero understanding of game development are whinging that it isn't being done fast enough is bad enough but to actively lie about it having been a 'promised' feature that hasn't been delivered is despicable. There's an ABUNDANCE of bad developers and publishers who have lied and mislead their audiences to choose from if you want to be mad online about this kind of issue - go bother one of those instead of slandering one of the decent ones.

super solid game! its a gem! its a tower defence / base building / RTS but unlike every other game they got everything right. bases are fast to build because of slick mechanics. the top down 3rd person fighting is epic! more guns and stuff to research then anyone would want. the creature killing is great! 10/10 for sure. its nice to see a new concept for once!

I like the game, but mostly I want to note one thing about "the promised multiplayer". Yes, it was said they are adding multiplayer but it was not originally planned to have such as thing. The post about development for co-op it being started is here: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/780310/view/3030352531885958607 Anyone can read it. You can follow the development in the news section and on Twitch, and if you think it's too slow now, that's fine. Reviews are always subjective, but it would be a good to time end the mass psychosis of "this was promised before release."
