The Riftbreaker

The Riftbreaker™ is a base-building, survival game with Action-RPG elements. You are an elite scientist/commando inside an advanced Mecha-Suit capable of dimensional rift travel. Hack & slash countless enemies. Build up your base, collect samples and research new inventions to survive.

You play the role of captain Ashley S. Nowak, 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.

About

Base Building

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. The base also serves as a means of defense. Not all inhabitants of Galatea 37 are friendly and a well-fortified perimeter can be the difference between life and death on this strange new world.

Exploration

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.

Defense

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. Recklessly leaving the key infrastructure of your base open to attacks is a recipe for disaster. The creatures inhabiting the planet's surface will gladly have a go at fragile pipelines and energy connectors, rendering your meticulous setup useless. Establish the borders of your land by setting up walls, gates, and defensive towers. Build mazes to trap the attackers. Walk atop the armaments and defend what's yours. Research new technologies and enhance your defensive strategy. The attacks will get stronger with every passing day. You will face thousands of hostile creatures trying to eliminate your presence.

Hack and Slash

Mr. Riggs can be equipped with powerful weapons and abilities that will allow you to take on the largest of beasts. Although it is not indestructible, it can stand its ground using various weapon modules. Slice your enemies with an energy blade or set them on fire using a flamethrower attachment. Bombard your attackers with mortar shells from afar or jump into the heat of the battle wielding a minigun. The choice is yours. The technologies you research will help adapt Mr. Riggs even further. You might also find something useful while exploring the planet. Fighting for your life is inevitable on Galatea 37.
