Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Rift Crashers has a complete core loop — 8 characters, 18 weapons, 5 biomes, and a multi-boss Gauntlet — but co-op games get better with real players. Early Access lets us tune balance, add content, and build the game alongside the community rather than guessing what they want.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We plan to be in Early Access for approximately 6 to 12 months. The timeline depends on community feedback and the scope of additions we want to complete before the full 1.0 release.”

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

“We plan to add more playable characters, weapons, biomes, and boss encounters. We also plan to expand the Codex upgrade system, deepen co-op Tether synergies, and improve overall polish and onboarding based on player feedback. The core gameplay is already present; the full version will be broader and more refined.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The game is fully playable in 1–4 player co-op. It includes 8 characters with unique passives, 18 weapons, 5 biomes each with distinct enemies and a boss, a Codex progression system, co-op Tether abilities, interactive vending machines, and a multi-boss Gauntlet finale. Some content and balance tuning is ongoing.”

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

“We plan to gradually raise the price as we ship new content and approach the 1.0 release. Early Access players get in at the lowest price the game will ever be.”

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

“Through the Steam Community hub and a public Discord. We'll share development updates regularly, run balance polls, and actively read feedback on new content. Bug reports from the community will directly influence our patch priority.”

About This Game

Rift Crashers is a 1–4 player co-op bullet-heaven survivor set in a dark fantasy world torn apart by dimensional rifts. Fight through procedurally-selected biomes, build increasingly broken weapon loadouts, and survive the chaos long enough to crash the Rift itself.

Choose your crash.
Pick from 8 unique characters — each with distinct stats and a signature ability. Sprint as Sylva, tank as Ironclad, chain heals as the Necromancer, or phase through bullets as the Glitch Slime. Every character changes how you play.

Stack weapons, not just stats.
Collect up to 4 weapons per run from 18 options spanning auto-fire, melee arcs, area zones, and crowd-control ultimates. Pair a Railgun with Saw Blades. Combine Tesla Coil with Black Hole. The build is yours.

Power up between waves.
Level up to unlock the Codex — 12 stackable upgrades covering damage, speed, lifesteal, armor, and more. Stack regen with lifesteal. Stack projectile count with crit. Each run hands you new choices.

Survive 5 biomes, face 5 bosses.
Three randomly-selected levels — Swamp, Desert, Fog, Frozen Tundra, or the Void — each with unique enemy factions and an elite boss. Then: the Gauntlet. A circular arena where every boss you've faced comes back at once.

Built for co-op chaos.
Shared Tether abilities let you link energy beams between players, freeze and shatter enemies together, and boost allies in radius. The Synergy Station rewards nearby teamwork with bonus upgrades. The more coordinated your team, the harder you hit.

Risk it at the machines.
Glitch Machines, Blood Slots, and Overdrive Stations scatter the map. Pull for rare gear, spend HP for power, or activate an Overdrive wave for massive rewards — if you survive it.
