Description

We came to this world to claim it for the benefit of our kind. However, we were not the first ones to do so. The Riftbreaker: Metal Terror allows you to explore the previously unknown regions of Galatea 37, which bore witness to cataclysmic events thousands of years ago. This World Expansion introduces new gameplay mechanics and dozens of new items and technologies. Use them to your advantage to survive against an ancient threat.

About The Expansion:

Metal Terror is the first World Expansion for The Riftbreaker, introducing an entirely new part of the Story Campaign, playing out in a previously unexplored biome. A unique astronomical event takes place during Ashley’s Riftbreaking mission. Its aftermath reveals that Galatea 37 was hiding a dark secret the whole time. Driven by your scientific curiosity, explore the previously hidden corners of the planet. Study the new ecosystem. Find useful resources and adapt your technology to make use of them. Face new enemies, both natural and unnatural.

Features:

  • Discover a new branch of the Story Campaign, that will take you on a journey into the unknown.

  • Establish an Outpost in a brand-new area of the planet - if you dare.

  • Scan, analyze, and catalog the unique fauna and flora of the new biome.

  • Face several new enemy species, each posing a different kind of challenge.

  • Research new additions to the technology tree, utilizing the curiosities you discover in the new biome: buildings, weapons, and equipment.

  • Solve the mystery that remained hidden for millennia.

Contents of this Expansion:

The Story portion of this Expansion is integrated with the Main Campaign from the base edition of The Riftbreaker. The new branch and the contents of the expansion will unlock as you progress through the game. If you have previously completed The Riftbreaker Story Campaign, you can continue your adventure where you left off. The additional part of the Story will unlock immediately, giving you the option to explore the new part of the world.

If you are playing in singleplayer, I do not recommend this dlc. There is too much grinding. You have to build a lot of oversized buildings with stupid resource requerements. That becomes repetetive quickly. After

Pretty decent DLC overall. Not a must-buy, but good if you're enjoying the game. Make sure you start it relatively early, most of it is mind-numbingly easy with lategame gear and the rewards are useless once you have

So sad to see that not many notice the reference to their pre game... this DLC is welcome CAMEO of the main plot of the X-Morth Defense game (Can recommend that as well). Hope you have future Projects EXOR Studios.

Cool crossover with their other game. The stuff it adds can be pretty useful; cheap fuel, dirt cheap towers that don't require energy or AI cores, and a bit of shield generation for buildings. It also looks really neat.

Both host and client needs to have DLC. Moreover, vanilla game is ruined by having some buildings from DLC left on the map, i.e. this is broken buggy mess, do not support those devs.

Probably the most simple of the 3 DLCs but is fun, Morphium is cool idea with lots of potential but sadly not very good in execution since. A. The energy you can get from Morphium plant is pretty underwhelming. B. The
