RIFTSTORM

Overall I'd Give it a 6 out of 10 as an Early Access Game. (version 0.6.2.1) A lot of the pros are also cons right now. I am hopeful that this game succeeds at 1.0, but will take some work. Potential is there and if you want to kill 20 hours and support an EA dev team, the sale price of 11.99 is worth it. I have reached level 50 (current max) with one character and mid 40's with two more. my maxed weaver still has 8 skill points to unlock due to difficulty obtaining weaver dataseeds, which are needed to spend the earned skill point. The gameplay loop is good in short doeses as a solo player, and with co-op you can rush missions with ease. There is a lack in mission objective variety, but they are working on more mission types. Some characters feel more 'done' than others and the combat can be challenging at times. The rogue-like style level ups we all came for feel... slightly underwhelming at times, depending on the character. I dont regret buying the game, but do hope that Confiction Labs successfully flushes it out by they call the game done. They have already started addressing community complaints. Enjoyable for an EA title. Pros: -Interesting concept for the world if it gets developed more - character variety checks some boxes, but could use some tweaking - Co-Op is more fun if your game doesn't crash, if you don't get kicked or disconnected - some of the legendary weapons can make a positive impact on gameplay and make the missions fun from start\ - Beta mission type Killbox has a lot of potential. it is an endless run that lets you flush out a build and earn a ton of resources and weapons ( no credits for now though :( ) - Co-op offers ways to unlock more, faster Cons (term used lightly. these things can be improved on before launch: - solo play gets boring - not everything is explained to you in game. (context: i had my wife join me for a few missions and was confused on how to find a few mission identifiers and it led to her wasting time on missions that weren't progressing anything) - Characters need some balancing. Hertz does same damage as any DPS but doesnt have to worry about survivability as much as two other DPS characters. Characters that use pets for their abilities don't feel special. I often found that I was focusing more on gun play than bothering to use my summon abilities, because my gun was doing the job just fine. - Caracal (another character) is locked behind earning some extra materials, rather than story progression and his gameplay doesn't feel like it was any more special than any other character. I wish my first play throughs with him made me feel like it had been a worthwhile goal to achieve - Credits, the main currency, are a time wall. Though a recent update increased the drop amounts on higher difficulty missions, it takes three missions to buy a gun from the store once you reach Threat Level 4. Everything you do requires credits. Repair a gun? 6,750. Skill point? 6,750, Craft a gun? 3k-7k, Craft an Augment? 3k-6k. Mission rewards at Threat 4 award 6k to 13,500, with exception of max difficulty (9999) which awards 20k. - Co-op is unstable for some players right now - some interactables in-mission have potential to overlap with other objects, making it hard to select things some times. (minor annoyance) - when playing missions with multiple levels, I have gotten brought to a 3rd floor that had the exact same layout as the first floor I was on. While in this game it is not possible to go back to a previous floor, I was confused for a second and thought I had. Reusing maps is okay to a point, but leaving a floor to travel to an exact copy makes it boring - To max out skill points for characters, you need a weaver dataseed which is only availablle in urgent missions. missions are reset every 15ish minutes and unless you sit playing for long periods of time like I did, you may not see one offered for your character if you play Hertz, Rook, Botsy (3 of 5 current characters) - it takes a little time to get a build moving, and often, by the time you have a well performing build, you are killing the boss (never took any longer than 45 seconds), you are going to base and dont get to play with it

Extraction-lite. You know what? I'm going to all it: RIFTSTORMlike. So many other games just are literal cookie cutter copies and rekins of vampire survors or other lame roguelite. RIFTSTORM actually moves that needle forward. Great job devs! Let's bring this home in 1.0!

I've followed this team for a long time. From when they were just a few people to at some point a big studio then they got ♥♥♥♥♥♥ over and were small. To see that only a handful of people worked so far the last year to get this game to where it is now is just amazing. The game was.. fine... before. But this, this is truly fun!

I'm a bit late to the launch party so I swerved whatever lag issues a lot of the negative reviews were talking about. Connection feels great with no lag. Game is dope; feels like the natural progression from something like what Alien Swarm could have been. Been having a blast and excited to play more

I get that most games are rushing to launch before GTA IV but I'll say it: Indies stop rushing games out, you're not competing with GTA 6. I wish this game would take like another 6 months of bug fixing before release, but I'll take it as it is, bugs and all. Really great game.

The weapon design deserves its own callout. Each manufacturer has its own visual identity — you can tell someone on the art team actually cared. Not everything is working, or feels great but that's Early Access reality. The bones are gorgeous and the team seems to actually give ♥♥♥♥. Look at all them replying to comments in the Steam Discussion. Seriously how many games do you see having that?

Fluid gameplay, interesting backstory, decent visuals. I think there's a room for polish in some area, but it's ok for now, can't wait for this weekend to invite my friends to join in multiplayer mode

像肉鸽版的搜打撤，总的还不错，主要还是卡顿和性能问题，速度优化啊
