The Riftbreaker

The Riftbreaker is a base-building and combat game set on Galatea 37, an unknown planet in the Sycorax belt of the Milky Way. You play Captain Ashley S. Nowak, an elite scientist and commando known as the Riftbreaker, who travels through a one-way portal in her Mecha-Suit, Mr. Riggs. Your mission is to build a base and a two-way rift that will enable travel back to Earth and further colonization.

Explore Galatea 37

Long-distance surveys found the planet habitable and suitable for colonization. Its varied biomes contain rare minerals and substances, as well as unfamiliar plants and animals and harsh weather. You travel across the planet, research alien substances and lifeforms, and establish multiple persistent bases to support your economy. Outposts in resource-rich locations can send materials between sites using rift technology.

Mr. Riggs can withstand harsh environmental conditions and carries equipment for construction, resource extraction, gathering specimens and combat. The campaign spans multiple hours in a procedurally generated world, with freedom to set priorities and choose which technologies to use.

Build and defend

To construct a rift back to Earth, you need a complex industrial chain of mines, refineries, power plants and research facilities. Solar collectors and a few tons of steel are not enough: the rift requires enormous amounts of energy.

Your industry and disruption of the planet's natural order draw hostile creatures. Build walls, barriers and defense towers to protect your base as attacks grow stronger with each passing day. You face thousands of creatures trying to eliminate your presence.
