## What is RIFTSTEP?

The floor is your weapon.

RIFTSTEP is a fast, one-thumb roguelike arena game. Every tile under your feet can be torn up and thrown. Dodge, rip, and let the arena do the damage while enemies close in from every side.

EVERY STEP IS A WEAPON
Move to fight. Tiles erupt, bounce, burn and chain as you dash across them. No buttons to memorise, no virtual gamepad to fight - one thumb, everything readable at a glance.

SIX WORLDS, SIX KEEPERS
Ancient Ruins, Frost Vault, Molten Foundry, Void Garden, Clockwork Bastion and Sky Citadel. Each has its own floor mechanic, its own enemies and its own Keeper waiting at the end.

BUILD A RUN THAT BREAKS THE RIFT
Every level is a choice. Draft upgrades, hit rare tiles, find evolutions and relics, and stack them into a build that turns the last waves into confetti. No two runs stack the same way.

SIX HEROES, ONE RIFT
Ember sets the crowd burning. Volt chains lightning. Rook holds the line. Echo, Brutus and Wraith each rewrite the run their own way, and each has its own mastery track.

GO DEEPER THAN YOU SHOULD
Clear a world, then choose to continue instead of cashing out. Rift Depth raises the pressure every time you refuse to stop - and the rewards climb with it.

PLAYS OFFLINE
Full runs with no connection. Progress syncs when you are back online, and Sign in with Apple protects it across devices whenever you choose to - the game never asks for your name or email.

FAIR BY DESIGN
No energy timers. No paywalled worlds. No forced ads mid-run. Rewarded ads are always optional, and a single No Ads purchase removes every automatic ad forever.
