Another bestseller from Poland – who would have thunk?

What's The Riftbreaker?

Action game with tower defense elements. We play as Ashley S. Novak, one of the so-called riftbreakers – elite units of scientist-commandos. The action takes us to one of the planets at the edge of the Milky Way, where we have to fight for survival. During the game, apart from learning the story, clashes with thousands of enemies and exploration are crucial, allowing you to discover rare resources needed to build the base.

What did it surprise us with?

High quality and high popularity. This title almost immediately entered the bestseller list on Steam, where it continues to receive very favorable reviews. Exor Studios has experimented with combining genres before, but none of its games have won the hearts of as many gamers as The Riftbreaker.

Is it worth it?

Definitely yes, as 91% of the 5581 reviews on Steam are positive. Most of them make it clear that the developers have managed to create an engaging world that combines the best of real-time strategy with RPG. According to the Steam Charts service, at its peak (on PC) The Riftbreaker was played by over 21,000 people at the same time.
