But games like this don't want you sitting behind walls so they find ways to coax you out. Obviously, you'll also need a wall around your base and turrets to help with defense. You need resource streams from minerals and something called carbonium in order to build things, and you need sources of electricity to keep things powered-up, and there are a few to choose from. It's then that you can begin re-equipping yourself as you would in an action-RPG, unlocking abilities and upgrades.īase-building is pretty familiar. When you begin, you can dash around a bit, repair, and swing your sword and shoot a basic gun, so you're no weakling, but it's a far cry from what you can be once you lay down an armory and start researching and developing there. This screenshot encapsulates so much of what The Riftbreaker is about.īut your strength comes hand-in-hand with your base's development. Trains of small enemy insects flow like water as they surge towards you, and cleaving through them with your sword leaves a great bloody mess all around you, and it's no less fun revving up a machine gun to cut them all down or blowing them to smithereens with any number of explosives. Riftbreaker is snappy and robust and accomplished in a way I'd expect from - to use an appropriate comparison - a Blizzard game. I thought the key art looked tacky and dated because apparently I'm very shallow, but the game itself certainly is not. In summary, then, Riftbreaker is a real-time strategy game with a dollop of action-RPG on top. StarCraft because it looks like it - you're in a colourful and chunky alien world, clomping around in what looks like a Terran marine suit, They Are Billions because you need to survive against increasingly massive hordes of invading insect enemies, and Diablo because you grow and equip a fighter which gets more and more powerful as the game goes on. Riftbreaker is a cross between StarCraft, They Are Billions and Diablo.
#THE RIFTBREAKER PUBLISHERS PS4#
Availability: Due first on PC sometime in 2020, then on PS4 and Xbox One after.Here, the tech upgrades you normally spend on your army are spent on you. You're a pilot inside a mech capable of level-shaking destruction and you can torch entire hordes with flamethrowers, mow them down with thundering cannons, carve through them with giant swords and pound them with barrages of missiles.
Riftbreaker is a base-building survival game, but whereas in other games you build an army to defend you, here, you are the army.
