Rift Shaper is a VR roguelite where you shape the battlefield itself with your own hands. Raise pillars, break walls, and hurl boulders in intense melee battles that test skill and stamina. Punch, throw, and crush stone creatures using gesture-based combat and feel the true power of controlling the earth itself.
Geokinetic Combat
Bring out the power of the earth with your own movement. Each ability is triggered by striking precise stances inspired by real-life combat. Equip stone-forged gauntlets to crush, grab, and hurl your enemies directly. Intense battles with adjustable difficulty will let you break a sweat, move with purpose, and feel the adrenaline of every strike.
Shape the Rift
The ground itself is bursting alive with energy waiting to be unleashed. Use it to raise stalagmites and block attacks, pull walls to use as shields, or smash through them to create new or uncover hidden paths.
Unique Enemies
The same energy brought living stone creatures born from the ruins and the Rift itself. Some are as big as buildings themselves that shake the ground beneath you, others are almost just pebbles darting through the ground. Their rocky bodies can be grabbed, pushed, or torn apart piece by piece, letting you turn their strength against them.
Roguelite Progression
The Rift is volatile and constantly reshapes. Discover new geokinetic powers, upgrade your abilities, and experiment with different combat styles. No two battles will be the same, with a myriad of different rooms, enemies, and modifiers in multiple biomes.
Trapped in the Rift
You came as an explorer looking for the power of an almost-mythical city, but when a sudden collapse traps you inside, strange forces awaken within your body, powers that bound you to the very stone around you. Escaping is a deadly task, but every time you fall, you awaken back at your camp, forced to venture again into the ever-shifting ruins to uncover their secrets and find a way home.
Exploration
Beyond combat lies discovery. Collect samples from the Rift: flora, fauna, artifacts, and enemies to expand your personal journal on every expedition. Each entry reveals more about the Rift, its inhabitants, and about the power now flowing through you.
Side Quests
You may encounter others throughout the Rift, trapped as you or searching for their own answers. Help them recover what they've lost, clear blocked passages, or locate rare materials. This may take multiple expeditions and can reward you with unique loot, upgrades, or story insights.
