What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Riftborn is already fun and fully playable, but it’s only the beginning of what I imagine. My design goal has always been to create a game that’s easy to hop into yet deep enough to grow for years. Early Access lets me share the game now while continuing to expand it over time. This isn’t a one-and-done project, it’s a long-term passion I plan to keep developing with the community.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“For the long haul. My vision is for Riftborn to evolve over many years with consistent updates, new content, and fresh ways to play. Roughly seven years it will be in Early Access.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The roadmap includes:

Expanding the roster with many more factions and units.

Titan versions of core characters, alongside new heroes and allies.

Additional game modes, including experiments like infinite or progression-based challenges.

Large DLC-style updates that grow Riftborn into a bigger, richer experience rather than splitting it into separate projects.

The goal is a continuously evolving game world where every major update feels like a new chapter.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The game is fully playable from start to finish, with seven rounds currently forming a complete run. Please refer to the "About This" section for details on what's are already implemented.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“Yes. As new content and features are added, the price will gradually increase. Early supporters will get the best value.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Community is everything to this project. I want Riftborn to be more than just a game, it’s a shared space where players can contribute ideas, artwork, memes, and feedback. I’ll be livestreaming matches, facing the Collector live (and owning my losses as part of the lore), and running community challenges like win-streak tests. My focus isn’t on building massive numbers, but on creating a dedicated core of players who want to be part of something unique as it grows.”

About This Game

ONE GALAXY. BILLIONS OF CHALLENGERS. ONE WISH.

Riftborn is a fast-paced tactical arena roguelite set in the war-torn Riftbelt, where fighters from across space and time are pulled into the Collector’s Trial—a deadly championship that promises glory, fame, or even the rewriting of fate… if you survive.

You are one of them. A Riftborn.

Thrown into a brutal, escalating gauntlet, you command a growing squad of strange and powerful fighters. Every battle is a test. Every decision, a gamble. Each pickup, ally, or summon can turn the fight—or end your run.

⚔️ Core Gameplay Features

Tactical Brawls, Streamlined
Short, high-stakes battles built for momentum. Think fast. Adapt faster. Survive.

Summon Chaos
Call in unpredictable allies mid-battle and collect Moonstones to unleash Titans that can flip the fight instantly.

Endless Training Mode
Learn every unit, combo, and mechanic in a frictionless practice mode designed to sharpen instinct.

🏆 The Collector’s Championship

This isn’t just survival—it’s a series.
Seven matches. One winner.
First to four wins takes the crown.

You might sweep. You might go to Game 7.
Either way, the pressure builds every round.

Most fail. Some rage quit. A rare few endure.
Their names echo through the Rift.
