The Riftbreaker Reviews

A great game to keep you coming back. The campaign does get a bit repetitive; find new biome, scan for deposits, finish some research, setup subsidiary base, defend it from enemies, realize you need to expand, repeat. The loop is certainly entertaining, while offering a large variety of weapons and customization options. I love base-building/tower defense games and this one scratches that itch. Fast paced and lots of carnage!

This game is absolutely amazing! I am not a tower defense game enjoyer and often hybrid games fall short, but this game is an exception. The best elements of fast, hard combat, tower defense, strategy, economic and research management, outpost management. The graphics are amazing, the game runs smooth at a high frame rate. The soundtrack is equally amazing, one of the songs feels like it was plucked right out of the mid-90s, giving an older gamer like me a wonderful sense of nostalgia. The game alternates between fast-paced combat and quiet base building. TL;DR: BUY THIS GAME! You will not regret it!

Game is rad af.. love it. The best combo platter available straightup.

tl:dr - If you are thinking about how great this game will be when they release with co-op, just look elsewhere. If single player is your jam, the game is fantastic, but I was lured in by hopes of co-op four years ago and we still don't even have a beta for it. Got this and was absolutely loving it. Found out they were working on implementing co-op, and they did say upfront it was a hefty task that might take them a while. I don't typically repeat games, and I love going through things for the first time with friends, so I decided to take a break. I figured maybe six months or a year before we would have public access to the Co-Op beta. We are now four years later, I still don't have access to the co-op. Not any kind of beta access, or any kind of alpha access. I've read all about how they devs get to play it. I've read how they accidentally created a PvP mode, and that's super cool for them. Four years later and still no public coop beta? Is it my fault for hoping it would not take this long for co-op? I don't think so. I think four years is completely reasonable amount of time to have PUBLIC ACCESS to a beta.

I wish I could tell you how it ends, but my campaign save game magically disappeared after 14h of gameplay. And yes, cloud is up to date.

Not recommended at all, lost all my savefiles after 8 hours of playtime. After a google search, this does not seem to be an unkown issue. DO not buy if if you value your time.

Amazing game, super underrated, and it continues to get love and updates from the devs years later. It's like a factorio-lite but where you're a badass killing machine in your own right from the beginning, with tons of great quality of life features, as well as decent enemy variation and a ton of cool weapons and weapon customization. Perfect for people who want to do casual starcraft style macro basebuilding but also excellent individual combat and light exploration.

Amazing replayability. Fun, addictive. Can't wait for COOP.

It's Factorio without the factory lines... Way more action packed and still has satisfying RTS/Tower Defense like mechanics with resource management. Very fun changing out load outs of weapons/armor/skills/items with different mods for gear to customize. Fun campaign mode that introduces you to the entire tech tree and teaches you fundamentals of the game. Then there's survival mode for pushing your Game Skill & Knowledge. All and all, a very satisfying game meat grinding 10,000s of aliens as you expand your resource gathering, outposts, and walls n walls of walls with lots of rockets artillery and much juicy firepower.

Game rips! These magnificent devs have been updating the game constantly after release and even decided to *completely rebuild their game engine* to in order to implement multiplayer/online co-op. Absolute champions. They're soon adding randomized loot and more powerful weapons as well. The multiplayer isn't done yet, however it's in testing and they're being very communicative and extremely thorough in testing, making sure it's a great experience for everyone when it finally releases. I hope the game has something of a "second release" when multiplayer hits. Fantastic game and a great developer. 100% recommend.
