In games that mix genres, just like The Riftbreaker™ does, is base building your sweet spot rather than combat and survival?
So, you’ve played the demo of The Riftbreaker™ during Steam Game Festival. Then beaten the free Prologue available on Steam, watched all the dev streams and new content reveals during Gamescom that just ended, and you’re still hungry for more? Good! The video showing some new game features should hopefully satisfy your hunger. And in case you’ve been living under a rock and missed Gamescom, you’ll get another opportunity to explore the alien planet, build, customize, light up and tweak your base, harvest alien plants, set up new power sources, and, of course, fight some hostile creatures during both PAX Online and Tokyo Game Show!
While waiting for the shows, you can still download the free Prologue straight from Steam (https://store.steampowered.com/app/1293860/The_Riftbreaker_Prologue/), and add the full game to your Wishlist (https://store.steampowered.com/app/780310/The_Riftbreaker/).
The new gameplay video shows how to use the planet exploration feature to find new energy resources and set up nuclear powerplants, and demonstrates the proper ways of arming, lighting up, and building defense systems around the base. The video even goes as deep as showing how to cultivate alien mushrooms, and for those who like their HQ to have a personal touch, it explains how to customize and tweak the base.
After watching the video, be sure to save the date in your calendar for both PAX Online and Tokyo Game Show so you don’t miss another opportunity to watch dev streams from TheRiftbreaker™ or the chance to chat about the game with the devs via their Discord channel.
Finally, a hint for Chinese gamers – keep an eye on the Sonkwo online event that will take place between September 10th and 13th, where The Riftbreaker™ will also be featured.
ABOUT THE RIFTBREAKER™:
As Captain Ashley S. Nowak, “the Riftbreaker,” you enter a one-way portal to Galatea 37, a distant planet at the far reaches of the Milky Way. Your purpose is to build and develop a base that will allow travel to and from Earth for 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, specimen gathering, and of course – combat. It is also capable of traveling through rifts that connect space across vast distances.
THE RIFTBREAKER™ – MAIN FEATURES:
- BASE BUILDING – Your task is to construct a two-way rift connected to Earth. This will be a very complex undertaking requiring enormous amounts of energy. Simple solar collectors and a few tons of steel will not be enough. You will need to build up an intricate chain of mines, refineries, power plants, and research facilities to complete this mission.
- EXPLORATION – Galatea 37 is an unknown planet in the Sycorax belt of the Milky Way galaxy. Remote surveys have detected that it is inhabitable and perfect for colonization. The planet is full of rare minerals and substances that can be found scattered across the globe. Various biomes will surprise you with unknown fauna and flora, as well as harsh weather conditions. Construct local outposts in resource-rich locations to transport the required resources using rift technology.
- DEFENSE – Your presence on this planet will not go unnoticed! As you build up your industry and disrupt the natural order, the planet will start to see 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.
- HACK, SLASH, SHOOT – Mr. Riggs can be equipped with powerful weapons and abilities that will allow you to take on the largest of beasts. You will need to be ready to face lots of hostile alien creatures as you explore the planet.
- GATHER SAMPLES AND STRANGE ARTIFACTS – Felled beasts will drop valuable research specimens as well as rare resources. Use everything you can gather to research and craft new technologies, buildings, weapons, and equipment. You can also scout the terrain using your sensors and dig for treasure buried underground.
- RESEARCH – Use your gathered samples to research new technologies that will help you build up your base, improve your defenses, develop new blueprints for your Mecha-Suit, or improve existing technologies.
- CRAFT – Mr. Riggs is fully customizable and upgradable. Use the blueprints that you’ve researched to craft new parts and weapons. Utilizing better materials in the crafting process will result in gear with improved properties. Each crafted item has unique properties.
- INTERACTIVE STREAMING – The Riftbreaker™ has built-in integration with all the most popular streaming services. The stream’s audience can actively participate in the game through multiple options, e.g., by voting to send waves of new enemies, donating resources, or spawning environmental disasters like a tornado.
- THE SCHMETTERLING ENGINE – This game is built using the latest iteration of EXOR Studios’ in-house developed Schmetterling 2.0 engine, which was previously used to create X-Morph: Defense™ and Zombie Driver™. We pride ourselves in delivering fluid gameplay and utilizing all your hardware’s capabilities: uncapped frame rate, support for widescreen monitors, customizable controls, and more.
- COMMUNITY-DRIVEN DEVELOPMENT – If you’ve already read everything up to this point, then you might be interested in helping us shape the game.
