    Star Rupture is a factory game in the same way a vending machine is a restaurant.

Would 100% recommend to factory management genre lovers. This game has resource gathering, building, management, optimization of production flows, exploration, combat and progerssion. It looks great, instinctive controls, with just enough freshness over …

    I put a few hours into StarRupture and I think I’m done for now. There are some interesting ideas here, but structurally the game doesn’t hold together. At its current stage, it feels very early and in need of significant rework. Right now it’s essentially a factory game where the optimal strategy is to erase the world’s relevance as quickly as possible, then ignore it as much as the terrain allows. The core problem is logistics. Resources use autonomous pathing (routing, not delivery),…

    The core idea is good: Satisfactory lite with combat. The execution isn't simply "early access" bad, it's "fundamentally bad decisions mixed with early access" bad. Maybe it gets better in a year but experience has taught me that bad design decisions tend to stay, no matter how thoroughly you can prove they are bad. Yes, you're building a base but not really because you'll be switching out buildings constantly to match what you need at the time, not just early on but as I said, constantly.…

    This game is 100% budget Satisfactory. EXCEPT: The game auto load balances everything for you. The most efficient way to play is to create a giant loop with multiple lanes and connect everything to it and then it will perfectly balance itself. This means that while this advertises itself as a factory game the core features that we have come to expect from factory games (namely the need to even a little math) is completely missing. That combined with everything being on the same level (no second…

    Basically a Satisfactory clone (this is a good thing in my book!) The best feature I've discovered is the elimination of power poles, power is distributed through foundations and integrated in the conveyor system, a welcome change. In early access, so be warned optimization isn't there yet. Having fun with it so far!

I am reviewing this game after playing Star Rupture for close to 100 Hours, Satisfactory for 1800 Hours, Factorio for almost 600 Hours and Planet Crafter for around 120 Hours. This game is not a copy paste from other factory games. Yes they have some similarities but for me it still felt like a unique experience.

    It's not a bad game per se, the map looks amazing and the ruptures are cool...but the problem I have is that, personally I really like automation and building factories (like Satisfactory, Factorio, DSP etc) but the factories in this game feel so useless. You need to send everything to space with a launcher to complete tasks for a company, but everytime you complete a task, you need to put the new task into the launcher manually...Which makes you not want to expand big at all, especially…

    I've played this game a lot as you can see. It has kept me interested by giving me various options to play with. Testing incremental improvement to factory efficiencies or finding that one methods really sucks :) has been fun. I'm an old gamer (late 60's) so this may not apply to everyone of course. The play is casual and the combat is doable for my less nimble reflexes. I'll keep playing and trying new things.

    This is a "wish I could leave it a neutral review" review. Came to this game looking for a fresher Satisfactory, having plumbed the depths of that game. This game is... bare bones. Now, truly, I played Satisfactory in early access too when it was also bare bones, and came back and started over in full launch. I'll probably do the same for this game. BUT! The major problems I have with this game aren't the bugs that I know will be stomped in time, or things like enemy behaviours that need…

    Starrupture starts off pretty strong. The early progression system feels rewarding: do X to unlock grenades, complete Y to get a new weapon, and so on. That sense of steady, meaningful unlocks is genuinely nice at first and makes the opening hours engaging. Unfortunately, that momentum doesn’t last. As you progress, the unlocks become more and more boring. Instead of cool new tools, abilities, or weapons, you’re mostly unlocking buildings and crafting recipes. After a while, it stops…

    I just hope that I'am missing something but building system in this game is just atrocious. Foundations the main thing you gonna build everywhere is just pain to work with. If you place any structure on them and delete it afterwards not only resources on the belt gonna get stuck but you will have to rebuild the foundations as well. This system just punishes you for rebuilding and trying to optimize the factory. Stability and placement is just another can of worm that is better to be buried.…

There are some good elements for sure, like I…

    Kind of fun for a few hours, until it becomes extremely tedious, automation is barely a Challenge. My most recent Save is about 12 Hours, half of which is "Exploration", aka running from Outpost A to B to C to A. Decided to play until I can progress the Main Quest, turns out it's currently bugged. Let this Game cook for a Year, for 20€ it's currently ok, but stick to the other Automation Games.

    I cannot recommend this game in its current state. The fact that they have a known multiplayer bug and anyone joining a host's progress/items aren't saved breaks multiplayer.  Also, it wants to be an automation game, but lacks the tools to make automation efficient. Its production process seems over complicated, and the advancement system is super grindy and feels clunky.  If you want to support a promising game that I hope the devs streamline and add content to, this is a good buy.…

That being said: Pros: - Love how the power works - no more lines, just connect different buildings via floors or lines and good to go. - The added depth of being a little more than a builder only - mobs attack base, build defenses, etc, feels nice. - Different platform and building bases is interesting and I like…

The rail system is pretty fun, and it's a push-pull logistics system from the get-go, which I definitely appreciate. If you want, every rail can be a sushi-"belt", and it'll "never" mess up! The star "rupture" system is fun, an enjoyable pyrotechnics display that forces you back indoors for a minute or so.

The early game has potential, and I can see the appeal for people who enjoy factory-building games like Factorio.

After 11 hours of this game, I can safely say that this game leaves MUCH to be desired. Is it a bad game? No. Are there mechanics I really wish just weren't there? Absolutely.

There's also an expectation of exploration and combat, and I'm sure that's been brought up in a gajillion reviews to date. And I still feel the need to write that. So this is a game about factory pattycakes, roaming the map, and blasting on monsters who have the nerve to bother you mid-roam. You can do it coop, and you have a choice of one of four…

Proper combat is a nice addition to the factory formula. If this was a full release, I don’t think I would recommend. 9/10 as an early access. 5/10 as a full game. Cons: Building snapping feels bad.

    Playing just singleplayer. So far 1 crash/freeze of the game. Several bugs though (including missing wall on the map). Performance is ok (stuff like microstuttering of your items on a rail or the complete freeze for a few seconds every time the game autosaves). This game is similar to Satisfactory, but with very annoying survival elements and way more fighting. Gameplayloop is "build a production-line and explore (to find blueprints/stuff to eat & drink/datapoints and way too many enemies)…

    Early Access Review StarRupture is a good game that could become a very good game. The obvious comparison is Satisfactory. StarRupture lacks Satisfactory's signature verticality, but replaces that with much better feeling combat (an a lot more of it). And, of course, StarRupture's signature is replacing the normal day/night cycle with a fiery destruction/regrowth cycle that necessitates having nearby shelter when the next firestorm is incoming. The world is not as colorful and exotic as…

    Played enough of the demo and playtests to to know this has all the elements of being a good factory/automation game. And for the launch price, it's a no brainer if you have any interest in this genre at all. I'm assuming they'll add game settings to tune the difficulty and less interesting (to me) survival elements. Right now, it could use a bunch of QOL like UI scaling, controller support, but devs have said this is on the way. Core gameplay is solid and I'm sure will get plenty of…

The early game progression is a bit slow, especially in single player, but it does speed up once you get reliable supply lines and storage built. Is it is good as Satisfactory? Not yet, but then again, Satisfactory really did come a long way since its early access beginnings, too. I'd say just let them cook and see what they can serve up. It's a great start. I'll update this later as early access progresses.

    while its very fun, if you try and put foundations or ceilings all in one big attached web, it will start to lag the game very quickly

    6 hrs into this. I expected it to feel like some other games. StarRupture has captivated me and sucked me in to a point where i am wanting to sacrifice sleep... for an older guy, thats saying a LOT... i like my sleep. with only 6 hours played i am already at the point of saying the game is "well worth it's cost". Zero regrets about buying it.

    So far a great balance between Astroneer and Satisfactory but more interesting because this game has enemies and guns!

    It's Early Access yes, and it has promise, but it shouldn't have been released even in Early Access before basic build functionality was introduced. So many basic issues that should be fixed but are being skipped over. Want to delete a single line and re-add it? no, you have to rebuild the entire series of lines halfway across the map. "Rewards" like the large habitat are unattainable because the system doesn't count any of the windows that have been added. The list goes on, but the wrong…

    This review is during Update 1 of the Early Access period so things may change in future updates. Simply put, this game is not fun. It is like they took a bunch of mechanics and ideas from other games such as Satisfactory and Factorio and tried to change them, making them less fun. Here is how I feel about this game: * The rail system. This is a cool concept, You can dogpile all sorts of things onto a rail and it will only be active when a pull command is in the request queue. The…

    if Satisfactory and Planet Crafter had a baby this game would be it,. Highly Recommend .. On a side Note: to get higher tier items build the recipe machine. took me 2 hrs to figure out how to unlock the next production tiers..lol

    Overall I've really enjoyed the majority of my 50+hrs with it. However, as time wore on numerous annoyances became frustrating enough that acquiring the last few techs just feels like a pointless chore. As someone with hundreds of hours in Factorio, the building/automation elements are what appealed to me the most and these are good, albeit in dire need of a number of QoL enhancements. Most notably we desperately need the ability to undo and the ability to just delete things instantly (no hold…

    I am having a lot of fun with the game, some of the reviews are from the game's earlier development stages (i think?) because the negative things just aren't there. One review mentions there is no quick swap inventory items?? You double click the item, and then complains about pressing 'E' to pick up everything, nope, just plants. The game runs really smooth and I have not experienced any bugs or crashes so far. I will update this review if I run into anything of course but for right now,…

    I believe I am ready to comment on this game. First of all, it is not a bad game. I selected “I do not recommend” because, at this stage, I cannot recommend it. Below are the reasons for that decision. I will separate my feedback into pros and cons. Pros The core idea is solid. A building and mining–focused game combined with gun combat has strong potential. The concept itself works; however, the execution needs significant improvement. Cons Companies and Research Choosing a corporation…

    If you come from other logistics games like Factorio or Satisfactory, you will quickly learn that logistics in Star Rupture feel half-baked. The logistics in this game desperately want to be the cool alternative to belts but end up feeling like busywork with extra steps and hidden bottlenecks. Try creating bypass or express lanes for clogged lines? Nope, won't fix anything as items on rails will continue to take the same congested route instead. In games like Factorio and Satisfactory, the…

    Has The best out of the top 3 factory style games in my opinion including the building style from satisfactory, the exploration from planet crafter and the tower defense/survival from Factorio. if you like these three games i suggest you try this game out it has a lot of potential and i cant way to see where it ends up

    Didn't know I was into "factory" type games until I looked at clock and it was 7AM. Environments look beautiful. Controls and movement is a bit clunky. Factory management and building is great. Character banter makes it a bit lively if you solo. Much more fun in co-op with friends. Spent 5 hours just managing and building, pistol combat is great but haven't tried other weapons yet. It's fun for an early access game. If you don't have anything important planned in next few days, try it out. I…

    Do i reccomend this game? yes and no. Yes- if your playing singleplayer its a great game thats different from most factory builders no- for 3 reasons 1- stability {just remove it already} 2- the lag when theres just too much built 3- multiplayer optimisation. i primarily played in multiplayer with 1 other. at some point it got way too laggy to feasibly play the game comfortably. the host immediately drops to 50% frames on 2nd player joining. the game functions better when you download…

    I clocked up a decent amount of hours on Star Rupture; I'm not sure how much of it I actually enjoyed though. The first slightly concerning thing you'll notice is the tutorial showing you how to make basic building materials. You do this by rubbing the two basic ores together and - presumably - making lego. Almost everything you build in the game will be made from this lego - habitats, drills, fabricators, 'belts', guns. You get a more advanced building material later on for a handful of…

    Overall: Solid framework, needs a lot of polish. Recommend to keep an eye on development if you're a factory fan that wanted some more dakka in your building game. I have a good chunk of time in Satisfactory and that's my biggest area of comparison for this game. It's clearly doing some stuff differently, so take stuff regarding the combat/base defense on its own. Pros: * Looks great, movement is pretty good, gunplay is okay but nothing mindblowing * Building is very snappy. Everything…

    This is a cool game, but I can't recommend you play it in this state. There are ALOT of quality of life things that need to get added before this game becomes fun for most people. Simple things that most games like Factorio, Satisfactory, DSP, etc have built in like being back to copy/paste the recipe from one building to another. Having to run to each building and manually click into a submenu to pick the recipe gets old very quickly. I do like the rail system which is PULL demand instead…
