    I must admit that Raiders of the Broken Planet has had me intrigued for quite a while, so I was eager to get to grips with it. Thankfully the game is pretty good, and whilst it may have a few problems I can see the game getting better and better over the coming months. The shooting mechanics in the game feel great, and they have got the right balance between being fun and challenging. TheI must admit that Raiders of the Broken Planet has had me intrigued for quite a while, so I was eager to get to grips with it. Thankfully the game is pretty good, and whilst it may have a few problems I can see the game getting better and better over the coming months. The shooting mechanics in the game feel great, and they have got the right balance between being fun and challenging. The combat in the game has also been done well, and the brutal moves you can pull off really do a great job of being satisfying. If you’re playing on your own then you will unfortunately feel at times that it’s unfair, and that’s because most of the enemies are too overpowered when you’re playing in solo. The game is however very good when playing with friends, and it would have been even better if it didn’t suffer with some matchmaking issues. The game has a nice bit of variety going for it especially when it comes to the characters and abilities. Each character feels very different and you can tell a lot of effort has gone into making them. The presentation side of the game is something I really enjoyed. Visually the game has a nice dark appeal going for it and for me it enhances the gameplay somewhat. The sound design has also been done really well, and while it may be basic at times it does more than enough to satisfy you. At the end of the day Raiders of the Broken Planet is on the right track, and I’m interested to see how they implement more DLC. The base game is free, but there isn’t enough content to keep you occupied so you will need to purchase the other packs to get the full benefit of the game. I do however recommend you to purchase this because if you look past the few problems then you will find a fun and enjoyable game.… Expand

    This a fresh third-person shooter with asymmetrical multiplayer and a cast of characters that's hard not to love. Even if its servers are basically empty and it includes microtransactions that belong in a free-to-play game.

    There’s a ton of potential in Raiders of the Broken Planet, but it feels like a game that shouldn’t have been released without more QA testing and all of the campaigns available. There’s only so many times you can repeat the same four missions, eight if you buy the Wardog Fury DLC, unless you’re a true glutton for punishment or simply have an obscene amount of time to wait for matches to be found. Sadly, potential doesn’t equate to an enjoyable experience, as the game in its current state, even with the second campaign DLC, is nearly void of this completely.

    There are a vast number of improvements needed before the game could be considered worth playing on a regular basis, but with the right creative direction and some key changes to some major aspects of the game could indeed see it become a great title – eventually.
