I recently got a chance to play around an hour of Space Rock Breaker on the PlayStation 5 Pro, thanks to a review copy provided Games Harbor.
You can find my gameplay video, along with my impressions, below:
Pro:
- Relaxing bullet heaven where you shoot asteroids.
- Satisfying Plinko mechanic.
- Skill tree upgrades that make subsequent runs easier.
Cons:
- None.
Overall:
Space Rock Breaker is a relaxing bullet heaven game where you mine for resources by shooting at asteroids and space junk. Your expedition ends when you run out of fuel or your ship gets damaged.
Your ship will automatically fire at the nearest object. You control where your ship goes and what items to collect. Once you unlock a warp drive, you will be above to move to a new area. Some areas offer rarer materials, so you should warp until you get a rare or legendary zone.
After a run, the items you collected will be processed via Plinko. By opening loot boxes, you can also increase your earnings via bonuses and multipliers. Seeing your cash increase as the materials drop through the Plinko is very satisfying.
You can use your hard-earned cash in the skill tree to help you stay longer and be more efficient during your expeditions.
Overall, Space Rock Breaker is a relaxing bullet heaven with an addicting feedback loop that constantly rewards your effort. If you are a fan of the genre, then you should definitely give this unique game a shot.
