'Remnants Of The Rift' Comes to Steam Early Access In May - Trailer

by Rainier on April 12, 2023 @ 4:36 p.m. PDT

Remnants Of The Rift is a real-time, retro-futuristic roguelike action game where time is on your side.

It was all going so well.

One day the world is experiencing a golden age of technology, the next it’s forcibly merged with an alternate dimension. It happens.

Now there’s a new reality, a world between worlds: The Bast.

Remnants Of The Rift is a roguelite tactics game where you can play, pause and plan. You are Morgan, dimension-diving merc, delving deeper and deeper into The Bast at the behest of the factions looking to exploit this new reality.

But you’re going to need help to survive in the depths. Help, and a whole lot of skill.

Remnants Of The Rift is a roguelike where time is on your side in every battle. Dodge deadly attacks, and pause the action to plan where to strike next. Every run is different: your run, your choices as you’ll pick which reward to fight for. Invest in a heartier future with a health upgrade or live in the now — with a Revolver mod to add explosive AOE damage? Your call!

Remnants Of The Rift combines the tactics of grid-based strategy with the thrills of an action game. Each level plays out in realtime, but you can pause to assess the battlefield, prep your attacks and plan your next move. Use mods and equipment to enhance your preferred style of play and overcome your foes.

What if closure was at the end of another dimension?

Prepare to dive into retro-futuristic action roguelite Remnants of the Rift when it makes its dimensional dive into Early Access on Steam on May 4, 2023.

“We are aiming to keep Remnants of the Rift in Early Access for 6 months, but depending on player feedback and whether new changes take more time to implement, it may be in Early Access a little longer, but no longer than a year.”

“The Early Access version of Remnants of the Rift is fully playable and you'll already be able to dive into the Bast for hours, meet some of the characters, and enjoy groovy interdimensional vibes. For more details on what you can expect from the Early Access version, please take a look at the game’s description in “About This Game” below.”

“We plan for the full version of Remnants of the Rift to include more bosses, stages, factions, and upgrades, but we’re also working on including the rest of Morgan's story, alongside general polishing of features, with space for other improvements depending on player feedback.”

Inspired by the Golden Age of Space and seventies retro-futurism, Remnants Of The Rift’s cel-shaded art and unique atmosphere means diving into the unknown has never felt so stylish.

With a colorful retro-futuristic flourish and an irresistibly catchy soundtrack, Remnants Of The Rift shows a world re-calibrating after being merged with a dangerous alternate dimension called The Bast. Join Morgan, an upstart mercenary with robot hands and steely nerves, as they traverse The Bast to save a loved one and make some coin along the way.
