Have you ever wondered how many vibrant alien planets a person can selfishly exploit before realizing they are contributing to the destruction of these beautiful worlds? While Bob Dylan pondered this question rhetorically, I prefer a more concrete answer. I’d say four and a half planets is the limit. If you haven’t reached your quota yet, check out StarRupture, now available in early access.
Described as a mix of Satisfactory and a four-player shooter, StarRupture features intense battles reminiscent of scenes from Starship Troopers. Developed by the team behind Green Hell, this game promises a visually stunning experience with solid survival elements. The game’s premise revolves around a group of convicts stranded on a volatile alien planet, tasked with mining exotic ore to repay their debt to society. With a sassy chatbot overseeing your progress, get ready for a satirical sci-fi survival adventure unlike any other.

Prepare to defend your base against swarms of bug creatures while expanding your outpost with solar panels, conveyor belts, and 3D printers. Delve deeper into the world to uncover narrative mysteries hidden within caves and ruins, all while battling larger and more dangerous insects. The early access build includes the majority of gameplay mechanics planned for the full release, with a focus on cooperative gameplay for up to four players.
The developers have promised additional biomes, enemies, buildings, and mechanics for the full release, along with a compelling endgame experience. While my enthusiasm for this game may seem overwhelming, it’s refreshing to see such potential in a game with a structured and immersive world. Who knows, maybe we’ll see base-building in Helldivers 2 one day. And if you’re curious about the fate of Green Hell, it’s currently 90% off on Steam.
