So if there are two genres I love but don’t play enough of its Schmups and Factory Builders.
I feckin love titles in both genres. Ten Tons and Housemarque games being my favourite of the former. But any number of factory builders like Nom Nom Galaxy will also occupy me for months at a time.
Riftbreaker is a sweet sweet mix of both with a lot of tower defence in there too.
I’ve just played an hour or so ( it’s on gamepass btw) and have come away loving it. They’ve done a decent job of controller use although I may see if it’s on pc gamepass as well, as repairing tens of little fences quickly (while actually pretty slick on controller) might be a little faster with a mouse.
The schmup bit is very good as well. Tight, fast, responsive and full of explosions and gore.
This might be a little hidden gem for some folk. Think Tesla vs Lovecraft x Factorio x They Are Billions
