Oct. 2024

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!

May 2024

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."

If you want to spend about 11 hours like I did building and optimizing sludge to water and gas production for your different cultivation and power needs then go right on ahead for it. If you want to spend another 9 hours after that researching better power tech to realize you now need to farm a specific material to upgrade your existing power stations, and then another 4 to make it all look pretty again, then this is your game. God help me for I have lost myself to this game and I will not willingly crawl out of the hole I have dug for myself.
