2:39:18 Brothgar "I hope you guys enjoyed watching this little episode" Yeah, when do we get the long episodes??? and how long are they??? 89 hours??? :P
ive finished the campaign on brutal maybe 4 or 5 times now, only way to survive early game is fast research into towers and wall, renewable and gas power and resource. you wanna find an area with sludge pools large enough for 3 pumps and start making gas generators then make ironium x6 and carbonium x 8 synthesizers so that you will only need to look for and mine rare materials. - in that order. the secret is using your mech to draw the first few waves away from any structures and kite them (to allow research to walls and towers to be done)while duel wielding the right weapons, duel spear, duel hammers, and then combos with flamethrower and machinegun/plasma gun so also mines and grenades are essential in brutal. artillery towers and railgun towers will be your best friend and maybe 1 minigun tower per base wall corner for energy and blast resistant enemies. in brutal you will need alot of carbonium just for walls. walls should be 3 layers thick in early game cause after the 5th enemy wave the walls will crumble, obvs exteriors walls to take all the aggro gonna determine your survivability 30 hours in to brutal. great video, goodluck all and have fun
That was Brutal mode? I just discovered the game a month or so ago, and downloaded it. That brutal mode and the brutal mode on the game now are two entirely different things. That looks like normal at best. Brutal mode wiped me out, with the oversized waves, until I got a few HQ level updates with research.
This game looks really good. Think I'll have to pick it up. Was going to wait for a sale, but probably wouldn't drop too much in price anyway, due to it being new. The RTS mixed with top down action is absolutely perfect for me. ARPG's are some of my favourite games, so having this kind of gameplay jazz up the RTS/tower/base defence was such a great idea.
I just started playing this on Xbox. I’m day 20 in survival and have broken the game. 😂 I’m playing on hard and have got one big base. So far nothing has broken through my defenses. I also tweaked the setting for time to be unlimited so I’m trying to see how long I can hold out until I’m finally over run. I’ve played many tower defense and many strategy games but I like this one a whole lot. And I totally understand how one hour can turn into two and three hours especially when you are having fun. Started playing and was only going to play an hour myself and it turned into a 6 hour epic defense. I really enjoyed this. Now after watching this I’m going to start a campaign on hard. Then Brutal.
I found something like a bug. When the game has a canoptrix nest events, you can infinitely destroy the canoprtix shells to get infinite cobalt. You do have to make sure you destroy all of them, or it doesn’t reset until the wave is “birthed.”
For those who are interested in playing this, it is on xbox gamepass right now. Warning though, the controller is clunky as hell for this game. They didnt add any features to mitigate problems like mass deconstructing a base. Had i actually paid for it i'd be rather mad i didnt just get it on the computer.
I have seen a bug a couple of times where the power grid will not connect to itself and you end up with multiple grids that won't connect. The other video I watched fixed it with a save and reload I think.
Man you got a good start, i lost 3 games at the start because the "inital" wave was like a couple hundred strong including Purple tier "zergling" and "Ultralisk" type mobs. >.< took a few tries to get a plan that worked.
Back 8 months later. Do you have your spreadsheet for download? Math's isn't my strongest suit, but I love games that require it. I always just tend to wing it and find things out through trial and error. I guess this is why I could only get so far at card games. They all require a lot of counting.
He typed in commands early in the video. ~ to open the command window camera_distance 11 [ENTER] - [the number you can change to suit your preferences] camera_enable_zoom 1 [ENTER] - [this enables the ability to zoom]
I still hold out hope that one day I’ll get to have a symmetrical base without rocks in the way(I know they’re helpful for cover but they’re not helping the aesthetic)
Can i survive in brutal? for sure. Would i attempt brutal? probably no because my base must look pretty and its very hard to achive in brutal while doing everything fast. I would love to see some sort of end game event, like activating some building while attracting bigger and more powerful waves each time. Hope they polish the game in the expansion. Most of the fun and thinkering aspects are locked at the beginning.
Dude no way this is brutal. When I play brutal my first wave is 5 times that size and its all purple dudes I usually place 10 or so turrets and between me kiting them around killing them and the turrets we barely can kill the first wave
When it comes to money, no life is more important even humans, if they did care about the planet earth they wouldn't be barely habitable. This game its a good example what humanity will do when they go to a new habitable planet.
My black bars are on the side of the screen that I can pinch or zoom to your ratio, or fit to fill my screen.. so your ultrawide monitor would probably be perfect for my device! Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ is a great product 👌
How is the optimization in the gameplay? For instance power generation, do power plants shut down when there is no load? Or production facilities halt when there is no storage?Or is this just a rate game?
@@brothgar I would have hoped you would be able to have reserve power production, like ONI, to cover surges when swarms come. Or maybe those towers always consume the same amount of power no matter what they are doing... I might have to get this game, just to check out the tech tree. lol. looks like you really enjoy it, and it is not expensive.
@@bladorthinspear I know they got power storage, so instead of "reserve" power generation you just produce more than you need passively to have a store for the surge
I don't know if it's rng or what, but I tried brutal and I just couldn't progress. 4 walls deep, 44 total towers around my base and the random waves undone all the progress I had made from the last wave. The big 'rhino' things would 2 tap me if they touched me so melee didn't work, shotgun and machine gun didn't have enough ammo and blaster too slow. Every single wave would take out most of my wind and my resource storage, so back to square one every wave.
This dude isn't on brutal people that actually play the game know this. His first wave was the generic enemies and a super small wave at that. A normal brutal first wave is 50 or more enemies tier 3 - 4 not 30 tier 1 enemies.
You drop some frames here and there even without saving, is the game or the record software? About the save, is the same annoying save from oni. God those memories, is so bad.
Yeah I know why they keep it zoomed in, but it seems like it would be a simple thing to correct. You can set it up to zoom way out, but then you reveal the map quickly and some weapons range are tied to camera distance. That's why I don't go out more.
Why you scamming people with saying that this is brutal? Watch Mukluk Plays, he have real brutal, you play at normal level now, nice cut the scenes and bait people
1:20:05 Brothgar over here matching up damage types to enemy weaknesses, meanwhile I'm just "Haha, Minigun go brrrrrrr".
"I've already made a spreadsheet." XD Sounds promising.
Less than a minute in too XD
Brothgar loves spread sheets
2:39:18
Brothgar "I hope you guys enjoyed watching this little episode" Yeah, when do we get the long episodes??? and how long are they??? 89 hours??? :P
I for one am super excited to see the numbers on power generation vs resource production.
It’s cool to see how much and little The Riftbreaker has changed over the years.
With a "spreadsheet' in hand there is no chance of failure... theoretically :) Can't wait to see how it turns out.
Super excited to see more of this game on your channel!
Ohh I've watched the Demo and your Oni series' so I'll just sit back and enjoy the mad engineering that will happen
That -53 power looks like an overflow error.
The return of the king!! lez gooooooo hype to see more of this game!

Finally a RUclipsr that KNOWS how to play Riftbeaker! AND he has a great voice and narration! Lucky me. Subbed!
Cool that you are playing the campaign... Gonna follow it to the last episode. Lots of cool tips please.. 👍👍👍
Aye, lets go. Glad to see it
Really enjoying having Owen Wilson teach me about Rift Breaker
14:05 "Yeah we're just gonna kill everything" LOL
Dual weilding power fists is hilarious
thanks for pointing out the camera setting changes. Game is way too zoomed in
When in doubt build more guns.
The radar I feel is very very useful. When you get overwhelmed you know where to run at least.
There is also no mob respawn in radar area so a little now-you-know hint :)
I think I’m going to pick this up it looks really cool.
That was Brutal mode?
I just discovered the game a month or so ago, and downloaded it. That brutal mode and the brutal mode on the game now are two entirely different things.
That looks like normal at best.
Brutal mode wiped me out, with the oversized waves, until I got a few HQ level updates with research.
Towers per hour?
At over 180 in 3 hours, you're over a tower per minute!
So it seems like i was playing this game wrong. I DONT MAKE ANY SPREADSHEET!! I’ll make one now.
I too have run into power bugs, but I don't know what caused them. I suspect the power connectors get messed up.
This game looks really good. Think I'll have to pick it up. Was going to wait for a sale, but probably wouldn't drop too much in price anyway, due to it being new.

You should redo campaign on brutal, 500% Spawn monsters + DLC, a big full campaign, i would def watch it all!
I just started playing this on Xbox. I’m day 20 in survival and have broken the game. 😂

You said you are already playing on hard man which is it?
@@bobbyvandyke143 lol I was playing survival mode on hard. Then I was going to try campaign on hard then brutal. Sorry for the confusion.😂🤣

I have heard you can connect KBM and play it that way. I did not like the controller when I tried it on PC.
I have seen a bug a couple of times where the power grid will not connect to itself and you end up with multiple grids that won't connect. The other video I watched fixed it with a save and reload I think.
Damn brothgar, I miss your content man ❤
Man you got a good start, i lost 3 games at the start because the "inital" wave was like a couple hundred strong including Purple tier "zergling" and "Ultralisk" type mobs. >.< took a few tries to get a plan that worked.
Yeah no way he is on brutal lol. He had a tiny mob of the basic enemies for his first wave.

A good weapon against them big rock guys is the fist weapon or spear, but are decently good
1:01:15 "There is nothing more powerful than love... Except an M-32 Rotary grenade launcher. Cause frick you and everyone near you."
I spend a lot of time in the mid game just relocating global resources to the colony bases since they do not get attacked while you are not there
How do you zoom out?
He typed in commands early in the video.
~ to open the command window
camera_distance 11 [ENTER] - [the number you can change to suit your preferences]

awesome content!
Sadly I can't imagine this being comfortable to play on console 🤔
Edit: omg the game has a demo!
Just plug mouse and keyboard

I see to "Jump start" USE THE CARD-Something a LITTLE bit so you can get better power from other
FACTORIO IN SPACE
I'm glad you skipped hard and go directly to brutal.
I’m guessing Ashley and the factorio engineer are on bad terms
so the floor tiles are this games equivalent of ONI wall paper. i expect you to spam the map with it at some point.
Should we call it a Sacred Path
Im sure you will have a hell of a time when you get to magma biome :D
When it comes to money, no life is more important even humans, if they did care about the planet earth they wouldn't be barely habitable. This game its a good example what humanity will do when they go to a new habitable planet.
It's absolutely true.
And here I thought “let me just finish this one episode then I will sleep”...
Hello there!
Hello there!
Hello there!
ahh, General kenobi's
Hello there!
Sometimes my power will suddenly go to 0/0. Is this a bug? How to fix it ?
the mines are the black hole from x morph defense with the same sounds XD

do you lose anything by deconstructing and reconstructing? (going to get this game at the weekend I think. looks amazing)
and just a thought they are not planets :) just areas on the same one LoL I've noticed a lot of people playing this say that
How is the optimization in the gameplay? For instance power generation, do power plants shut down when there is no load? Or production facilities halt when there is no storage?Or is this just a rate game?
I know some equipment shuts down to reduce power draw. Power generation seems to be always on.

Shall we call you path Sacred :)-
Feel free to turn the voice volume down.
its NOT different planet -its same planet, different place on it...why everyone using differnt planet?
Poop monster 💀💀💀 2:23:50
hmm .. your brutal doesnt even close match to my brutal .. did they increased difficulty over the year?
you can shoot trough lvl 1 walls
You can not
radars! enemies dont respawn inside radar coverage!!
13:40 you know the game is made by a Zionist when the dialogue goes " if I don't colonize someone else will come"
You drop some frames here and there even without saving, is the game or the record software?
About the save, is the same annoying save from oni. God those memories, is so bad.
You needed another like 666 had to go
seriously theres a way to zoom out on pc? man, now im even more annoyed im playing this on the xbox. I commonly get annoyed at how zoomed in it is
Yeah I know why they keep it zoomed in, but it seems like it would be a simple thing to correct. You can set it up to zoom way out, but then you reveal the map quickly and some weapons range are tied to camera distance. That's why I don't go out more.
I think more people should understand that all comments is bullshit.
Ohh boy can u Splitt those kinda videos into smaller parts
I mean I will definitely gona watch it the while way, but smaller vids would be nice.
Why you scamming people with saying that this is brutal?
Watch Mukluk Plays, he have real brutal, you play at normal level now, nice cut the scenes and bait people
this is not brutal dude...
