As you might have noticed during our streams (every Tuesday and Thursday at 3 PM CET) we have added the loot system to The Riftbreaker some time ago. Killing enemies and destroying objects in the environment has a chance to spawn objects that can be picked up by Mr. Riggs. The objects range from basic resources, carbonium and iron, to rare minerals and alien specimens. All these items can help Ashley immensely during her adventure on Galatea 37.
The amount of loot after the battle is huge. Mr. Riggs will have plenty of sorting to do.
One of the aspects of hack’n’slash games we want to give you in The Riftbreaker is the variety of available weapons and other equipment. The way we are implementing it in our game is through the crafting system. You will collect loot, research equipment blueprints and then craft the item by using the resources you found during your adventure. We chose this approach because it wouldn’t make much sense if aliens dropped human weapons upon death. This way of handling the item progression is much more natural.
Crafting items on your own is also interesting for one more reason - the properties of the item you’ve just crafted will be different each time. The differences in stats are meant to encourage you to try crafting items multiple times, just to see what the results might be. Although we have not implemented this functionality just yet, we can’t wait to see what happens when we finally get the chance to do it.
A newly-crafted item can completely change the outcome of the fight.
Randomized stats is a feature that we are excited for, but will require quite some time in development. We wouldn't want anyone to end up in the situation when a player loses the game just due to RNG. We are working hard on improving The Riftbreaker every day.
