About This Game


In Riftbound, lane defense action strategy meets rogue-lite deck building in an epic battle against the undead legion. Use spells, upgrades, and unique encounters to gain an edge in this fight for survival!

Heroic System

Unique hero system with stackable and rare hero upgrades. Turn any unit into a hero to gain all of the heroic upgrades you have obtained, becoming the ultimate defender.


Multiple strategies for any playstyle

Explore the five schools of magic in Riftbound, each with their own unique attributes. Experiment with defensive earth spells, unstable aether, slowing water, and more as you discover both common and rare spell cards. With plenty of upgrades to choose from, you can improve your spell mastery and summon elementals more powerful than ever before.


Weaponize your economy!

No clicking to collect resources, instead we have a wisp that will collect energy for you. Better yet, you can weaponize it with upgrades, everything from damage boosts and healing, to Aether Artillery!

Unique encounters

Choose your path carefully, both wonders and dangers await along the way. Discover unique spells and upgrades during encounters, or face misfortune and accept your fate with game changing mutators.

Godlike difficulty tiers

Godlike difficulty tiers work both ways, make your path easier, or make it harder to take on the ultimate challenge of Merciless mode.

Built for replayability

Gain power with permanent progression to tackle higher godlike difficulty tiers. New encounters and discoveries await each time you journey along the path.
