However, even that be forgiven if it wasn't for the numerous game breaking bugs. Also note that the game gets very grindy as you progress. The graphics are decent but the enemy units are not as diverse as it should be.

Ultimately I don't really know what this chintzy RPG/RTS and very much Eastern European looking game has going for it besides ray tracing that barely looks indistinguishable from regular high quality shadows. Look, it has some good ideas, but they've been covered in other games and were handled in a much more complex manner. This is like a toddler's pre-school version of "Factorio" with a fairly bland presentation. Everything about it feels off, and as some have mentioned, its very hard to figure out what it is that just doesn't click with them about it.I found the "tutorial" kind of grating and the controls (though ultimately manageable) a bit obnoxious to utilize properly. It doesn't really give you a good idea of what to do and the actual resource collection is painfully slow. Then they just shoved in whatever else as far as popular tropes in videogames right now a.k.a. crafting, collecting, and surviving. The generic hostile aliens look.. just like that- generic hostile aliens. I mean if I wanted to build a nice base in a mech suit with a very balanced economy, I'd just play "Supreme Commander" instead. I definitely cannot see many positives with this one sadly.

If you can put aside the 10 fps moments which happen a LOT you’ll have fun, but for me it was the breaker of Riftbreaker.I tried to reach out to Exor via Discord and wasn’t able to get any kind of official support or advice, lots of PC patches but aside from the “Day1” patch there has been only 1 more for seasonal content. Nothing that addresses the performance issues.

An extremely well-done genre mix with massive battles and fantastic graphics. Both the base building and the RTS elements work extremely well.
