During the last day of PAX West 2019, we stopped by EXOR Studios' booth to check out their new incoming game called The Riftbreaker This is a real-time strategy game with a couple of nuances to it that make it feel more original than the rest This may sound a bit familiar to you, but[...]

Sometimes you walk past a game and think "haven't I see this before?"
