Hello Riftbreakers!
All three levels of the new Minigun Tower, just chilling.
If you have been watching our streams lately (which you totally should, but no pressure, twitch.tv/exorstudios, Tue and Thu 3 PM CET) you already know that we have started modifying costs, power level of weapons, weapon properties, as well as the creatures’ stats. The game feels much more solid as a result - it is not that easy to reach the state where Mr. Riggs has so much firepower that nothing can hurt you. However, there is no need to worry - we have also introduced new variants of defensive towers! We are going to present them to you one by one over the course of the next couple of weeks, starting today.
Is 'dakka' the term you use these days, fellow young people?
The first one we’re going to show off is the Minigun Tower. That’s right - our favorite brrrrrrrt machine is now available in a building form, plus it doesn’t cost an arm and a leg! The Minigun Tower is a great tool for crowd control and dealing with large groups of small enemies. It’s similar to the good old Flamethrower Tower in its function, however, the bigger range of the new tower makes it a bit more versatile. It also can be equipped with any modifications you could install in your regular minigun, so it is possible to increase the number of projectiles, the amount of damage dealt, or even reduce the ammo cost. Plus, it’s super fun to watch them shred the enemies to pieces!
The area around our testing facility started changing color, for some reason.
Another cool toy that you will get to try out in The Riftbreaker is the Laser Tower. Unlike the Miniguns we discussed before, these puppies are meant to deal with single targets with a high hitpoint cap or a lot of armor. The way the Laser Tower works is very simple - it takes energy from your energy grid (no additional ammo required!), concentrates it into a single beam, and fires it at the target. Moreover, the longer the beam is able to stay on target, the more damage it deals, making it a perfect solution for those nasty Ultra Hammeroceroses. With more and more creatures joining The Riftbreaker bestiary we are sure you will find plenty of uses for this weapon.
Close-range, long-range - doesn't matter. You're about to be fried!
These two are just the tip of the iceberg, we have a lot more towers coming your way and we’re sure you will be eager to try them out as soon as possible. While you’re waiting for them to arrive, why don’t you check out our Discord at www.discord.gg/exorstudios?
