RIFTFALL is a full-throttle retro first-person shooter built for iPhone and iPad. The rifts have opened, the legions of hell are pouring through, and you are the only thing standing in the breach. FIGHT THROUGH 20 HAND-CRAFTED MISSIONS Storm volcanic keeps, haunted manors, frozen citadels, pirate coves, a walking colossus and the void itself. Every mission ends in a unique boss arena with its own rules, its own monster, and its own way to die. AN ARSENAL THAT HITS LIKE A TRUCK Six weapons, each with a devastating alt-fire. Shotgun-blast your way in, vaporize the swarm with the arc rail, then scope the sniper for the kill. Every weapon can be upgraded across a 15-branch tree. BUILT FOR TOUCH, PROPERLY Controls follow the mobile-FPS conventions you already know: left thumb moves, right thumb aims, smart auto-aim (fully adjustable or off) keeps the action fast without playing the game for you. Bluetooth controllers are fully supported. A REAL CAMPAIGN, NOT A TIMER FARM - 20-mission campaign + TUTORIAL SURVIVAL mode - 5 milestone boss arenas + secret side arenas - Squad system: deploy up to 4 AI marines with distinct weapon roles - Rage mode, double jump, melee, dash - movement is a weapon - Retro pixel look, modern lighting - 16 languages - Pay once. No ads. No in-app purchases. No account. Ever. HEADPHONES RECOMMENDED. The rift is waiting.
