How it feels

A brisk, colorful tower-defense where you build and command defenses in real-time against waves of enemies.

What players say

Players compare Rift Riff to Thronefall with a hub for buying towers, companions and upgrades. The final wave can be challenging but restarting a wave is allowed. Players are split on tower flexibility: some dislike locking in all towers at the start and want to swap later.
