Xbox is a platform that gets hundreds of releases per year. So standing out among the humongous library of games on the platform may be a tough task for many. Games must have some surprise elements and enough capacity to make it to the top list.
The Riftbreaker is a game that is trying to do so. The trailer has been released recently and looking at the trailer, we can say that it has something special. After all, what is more, special than a hack-and-slash game set on an alien planet?
Exor Studios are coming up with their new release, The Riftbreaker and it looks to be a game that would make to the gamers’ top list. Here is all that you should know about the game –
- The Riftbreaker is a base-building, survival game with the elements of action and roleplaying combined.
- Players will take up the role of Captain Ashley S. Nowak, an elite scientist/commando inside a powerful Mecha-suit who is capable of a dimensional rift. They have to travel to a planet Galatea 37 present at the far end of the Milky Way Galaxy and get it ready for colonization. That’s it? Nope. Players’ job is to prepare the planet for human colonization by building up all the necessary infrastructure – factories, mines, refineries, and dozens of other facilities.
- The game is all about exploration. Galatea 37 is an unknown planet that is inhabitable and perfect for colonization. It contains a lot of rare minerals and other substances which are scattered all around the place. As an addition, the planet can surprise players with a variety of flora and fauna across varied biomes. Yes, the conditions are harsh as well!
- Here is the thing you are looking for. Action! Since players will be on an unknown planet, their presence will never go unnoticed. There will be hordes of several hostile creatures whose only motive would be to eliminate their presence. So players will have to build and construct walls, watchtowers, barriers, etc. to protect the colony from the attacks of the creatures. The Mecha-suit will be of help too!
- Were we talking about the Mecha-suit? It has got a name as well – Mr. Riggs! Mr. Riggs can be equipped with a lot of abilities and weapons that would allow players to take on even the largest of beasts! Nope, that’s not enough! Mr. Riggs needs a strong and capable brain to control it. Do you have it?
- Remember Ashley is a scientist? The aliens and beasts you kill will drop a lot of research specimens and rare resources which would be necessary for crafting new technologies and buildings. And Mr. Riggs can be upgraded through these as well.
Which platforms will the game be available on?
The Riftbreaker will be released on October 14th this year for Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and PC users. And it will be available on Xbox Game Pass from the launch day itself!
