About
Your task is to construct a two-way rift back to Earth. It is a very complex invention and requires enormous amounts of energy. Simple solar collectors and a few tons of steel will not be enough. You will need to build up a complex chain of mines, refineries, powerplants and research facilities to complete this mission.
Your presence on this planet will not go unnoticed. As you build up your industry and disrupt the natural order, the world will start seeing you as a threat. Build up your defenses. Construct walls, barriers and defense towers as the attacks get stronger with every passing day. You will face thousands of hostile creatures trying to eliminate your presence.
Galatea 37 is an unknown planet in the Sycorax belt of the Milky Way galaxy. Long distance surveys detected that it is inhabitable and perfect for colonization. The planet is full of rare minerals and substances that can be found in various locations around the globe. Varied biomes can surprise you with unknown fauna and flora as well as harsh weather conditions. Construct local outposts in resource-rich locations that will transport the required resources using rift technology.
You play the role of captain Ashley S. Nowak - you are the Riftbreaker, an elite scientist/commando inside a powerful Mecha-Suit. Enter a one-way portal to Galatea 37, a distant planet at the far reaches of the Milky Way Galaxy, with the purpose of building up a base that will allow travel back to Earth and further colonization. Ashley's Mecha-suit, which she calls "Mr. Riggs", can withstand the harshest environmental conditions and has a full range of equipment for base construction, resource extraction, gathering specimens and of course - combat. It is capable of traveling through rifts that connect space across vast distances.
Take on an epic journey across all the different biomes of Galatea 37. You will establish multiple persistent bases across the globe that will fuel your economy. Research alien substances and lifeforms, as well as fight hordes of alien creatures, clearly not happy with your interference in the natural order of the planet. The campaign spans multiple hours and offers a remarkable degree of freedom in a super detailed, procedurally generated world. You can decide on the order of your priorities and what technologies you want to use. You’re the only human there, after all.
Your mission is to survive a set amount of time, fighting off increasingly difficult waves of enemy creatures. Each mission in the game is randomized, offering nearly endless replayability.
The Riftbreaker can be played solo or together in a group of up to 4 friends in Online Co-Op. Every game mode and each mission was specifically balanced to be enjoyed in single or multiplayer mode. The game includes a built-in server browser and a dedicated server mode. It can be played online or through a local LAN connection, entirely offline.
If intense fight for survival is not your thing either, then try out the Sandbox mode, where we give you control over the entire game – including resources, enemy spawns, and weather conditions.
The Riftbreaker’s gameplay can be customized to fit your playstyle. You can change the frequency of enemy attacks as well as their strength and numbers, resource abundance, weather events, enemy damage, and tons of other settings. There are also multiple difficulty presets to suit the needs of both hardcore strategy players as well as those that want a laid-back base-building experience.
The Riftbreaker’s development is continuously fueled by its welcoming community. The game has received years of support after its original release and is continuously expanded thanks to community suggestions and direct contributions. The game has a very open content structure and comes with a built-in set of modding tools, dedicated Steam Workshop integration, and a Mod Manager.

Twin stick shooter disguised as a factory builder.
[b]Total Annihilation Tower Defense Hybrid[/b] - Playtime: 67 hours (Normal + Easy campaign completed, 35 hours each) + 48 hours (Easy, all but final sequence) - Played: 2022, 2023, 2026 [b]Intro[/b] In Riftbreaker you control a big, powerful robot that is a deadly fighting machine as well as a builder. You build bases with power plants, mines, walls and towers. It's basically a defense-only version of Total Annihilation in which you fight randomly spawning enemies instead of an enemy base. Also you can freely move between different maps and build bases on each of them. [b]The Good[/b] - It looks great and ran surprisingly decent on my ancient RX560. - Lots of different buildings, weapons and upgrades to try out. - Decent variety in enemies and environments. - Building ridiculous defenses was always the best part of Total Anni. - No builder units, buildings construct themselves (huge improvement over TA). - It's fun to determine when and how you're gonna build a base. - You can freely teleport with cheap, unpowered telepads. - Sprint/jump/stealth options. - Enough random events to keep things interesting. - Lots of research options to keep you busy. - Killing huge hordes of enemies is fun. Minigun goes brrrrrt. [b]The Bad[/b] - Annoying Geiger counter sound near uranium on one map. - There are too many resources required for upgrades. - I didn't even bother with the "build a huge pipeline" map. No tnx. - Scanning seems to be pretty useless. - Enemy resistances/weaknesses are kinda irrelevant because you have to look them up. - Sometimes you have to wait quite a while for resources to gather. - Resource management takes a bit too much time for my liking. - I could have done without the whole "biomines" thing. - The game doesn't make it clear you can store plasma in liquid tanks, which is essential at the end. - After playing on the volcano map your defenses on the HQ map get roflstomped by new enemies with physical damage immunity. Really could've used a warning those would magically show up now. [b]The Ugly[/b] Build heavy artillery is a chore. You need pumps for sludge, water refineries for water, plasma plants for plasma then converters for supercharged plasma. It's not even that powerful so i only bothered with it for the final battle. [b]The Truly Awful[/b] At the end of the campaign you can choose to remain on Galatea 37. This used to be an alternative end, now it's extended into an insane grind that takes almost as much time as the normal campaign. I quit at the very end, because the final sequence requires a ridiculous amount of a certain rare resource. [b]Conclusion[/b] Riftbreaker is a game for people who would build extensive defenses in RTS games like C&C and TA. It's sort of a middle ground between RTS and Tower Defense. I quite enjoyed it, but if you don't enjoy obliterating hordes of aliens with automated guns and flamers/miniguns/grenade launchers/mines this game isn't for you.
Not some great triple A game, and not much story to it. But the concept is pretty cool and the game is actually fun. I just got it, and I see they have other DLCs which I'll probably get. I can't say it's a game that will have me grinding for months, but it's a good go to game to play every so often. Cause it's fun.. which a lot of games forget to be..
俯瞰视角的塔防经营+射击刷子游戏,外星怪物背景,画面很细,爽度适中,刚玩刷几个小时都不怎么腻,到后期肯定是重复性高的。
Excellent game. I had been looking for something like this for awhile. It lets me do direct fighting when I want to and tower defense when I get to wanting to do that. Its perfectly balanced and have had no bugs at all. Very stable. Highly recommend.
Game's pretty good and quite fun, however this game has the worst dialogue I have ever heard in my entire life.
ОЧЕНЬ КЛАСНАЯ ИГРА ОНА СТОИТ СВОИХ ДЕНЕГ
Fun at first, but the loop gets repetitive fast. It's mostly just chasing bigger numbers without new thrills. It also feels a bit too much like 'work', with all the wiring and resource math, to be a true stress-reliever. Not quite worth the grind.
