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.

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.

Overall it is good and worth a play through. Dialog is cringy but it is kind of endearing. Base building is fun and defending against tons of enemies is fun. The biggest problems are with the pacing and depth of objectives. You have essentially unlimited time to research everything and most of the game is acquiring new resource types in different areas. All of a sudden you have enough resources to do the final objective. Then you do it and it just kind of...ends? That aspect is quite disappointing. Additionally, objectives are quite limited in scope and depth. They are one of build thing, defend thing, find thing, or kill thing. Just felt repetitive over time.
