    A challenging and deep experience, RiftStar Raiders will keep you enthralled for most of its runtime.

    This game is fun to play with four people. However, you need a friend. You can't join random people online. It's a shame, but the gameplay itself is fun.

    RiftStar Raiders is a solid, challenging roguelike twin stick shooter, with ten complex missions, plenty of different enemies to fight and a nice upgrade system.

    The game can be borderline unforgiving, but with the right loadouts and a few friends, the game can be a blast.

    A fun multiplayer game that doesn't outstay its welcome.

    If RiftStar Raiders had a local multiplayer component, more accessible online matchmaking, and well-scaled difficulty then it would be a fantastic twin-stick space shooter. However, it suffers drastically from these shortcomings so download it with caution.

    When you’re used to all of that and know what to expect from each mission, Riftstar Raiders becomes an absolute blast to play. It just might take you a bit of time to get there.

    The action can get dizzying. [May 2018, p.89]

When I went to upgrade my second gun, the game crashed during the save, and I lost ALL my progress. It was like I hadn't played at all. I reported the crash via Sony when prompted to do so. I was not going to try again until after a patch came out, so I wouldn't lose all my progress again. There has been no such patch and so now I have a game I have wasted my money paying the full, debut, price on that I am afraid to even play for fear I'll lose my progress again, wasting all my investment in gameplay. I can't believe any reputable developer wouldn't maintain a backup of the game saves to prevent this exact sort of scenario from happening.… Full Review »
