A blend of base-building, tower defense, and twin-stick shooting, it's the constant threat of alien hordes that gives The Riftbreaker its edge.

The moment-to-moment gameplay loop of resource management, defense planning, and frantic combat against waves of enemies creates an addictive and rewarding experience.
