What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We want to craft the best co-op survivor experience possible. Balancing hundreds of items and synergies requires community feedback. Early Access allows us to tune the difficulty and polish the multiplayer stability with real players.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We plan to be in Early Access for approximately 6 to 12 months, depending on player feedback and the scope of new content added.”

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

“We plan to add more playable heroes, new biomes, distinct bosses, and a wider variety of weapons and upgrades. We also intend to implement Steam Achievements and deeper meta-progression systems based on community suggestions.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The core gameplay loop is fully functional. The game currently features Online Co-op, playable characters with unique skills, a variety of weapons to create synergistic builds, and the first major biome with complete enemy waves and boss encounters.”

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

“We plan to gradually raise the price as we ship new content and features. Buying now rewards early supporters with a lower price”

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

“We will be active on the Steam Forums and our official Discord server. We want players to share their wildest builds, report bugs, and suggest new item ideas. Your feedback will directly influence weapon balancing and future content updates.”

About This Game

ANNIHILATE THE SWARM

Riftbound is a survivor-like bullet heaven built around build customization and massive enemy density. Wipe out thousands of entities with automated attacks, refine your build on the fly, and adapt to a constantly ramping difficulty curve.

CHAIN REACTIONS & SPARK COMBOS

Your abilities are designed to interact, allowing you to create chaotic screen-clearing combos.

  • Elemental Interplay: Mix contrasting elements to trigger massive area damage. Freeze a dense pack of enemies with a blizzard, then shatter them instantly with a kinetic shockwave.

  • Overlapping Effects: Combine different weapon behaviors and status effects. Stack heavy area-of-effect burns with high-frequency knockbacks to trap enemies in deadly choke points.

  • Visual Chaos: Push your build to the limit until the screen is filled with hundreds of active projectiles and status chains.

UPGRADE AND ESCALATE

  • Diverse Archetypes: Build your character your way. Choose from heavy melee weapons with high kinetic force to magic staves firing automated homing missiles.

  • Meta-Progression: Collect Essence during your runs to permanently upgrade base attributes and expand your starting weapon pool.

  • Optional Co-op: Enter the Rift solo or team up with a partner. Coordinate your loadouts to cover each other's weaknesses, draw aggression, or execute a high-risk revive in the middle of a horde.
