Rift Riff v10052025

Rift Riff is a fresh take on tower defense that blends deep strategy with a forgiving safety net. You "jump a rift" into hostile worlds, fend off wave after wave of monsters and harvest their realms for resources. Its approachable learning curve and flexible mechanics make it ideal whether you’re new to the genre or a hardened strategist.

Key Features
- Strategic Tower Selection
- Before each scenario, you pick a small set of towers to bring in. Their unique behaviors-area attacks, single-target focus, slowing effects-must be matched against increasingly complex monster patterns.
- Juice (your build resource) is earned mid-wave, letting you adapt on the fly by constructing or upgrading towers both before and during attacks.

- Forgiving Mechanics
- Can’t afford a tower right away? Schedule its construction for later.
- Built the wrong structure? You get a full refund.
- Lost a tower during a wave? It respawns automatically at no cost.
- If your Extractor (the main tower) falls, you only replay the last wave.
- Struggling for resources? Pluck flowers on the battlefield for bonus juice.

- Rich Content
- 15 distinct worlds, each with two or more scenarios, for roughly 10-15 hours of play.
- 14 tower types plus 6 powerful upgrades to experiment with.
- 25 monster varieties exhibiting different attack behaviors and resistances.
- 6 AI companions that bolster your defenses in unique ways.
- 30 challenging mode scenarios designed to test veterans.
- Full Steam integration: achievements, stats, controller support, cloud saves, and more.

- Polished Presentation
- Hand-drawn visuals with charming animations.
- An original soundtrack and sound effects that heighten each battle.
- Developed in the open-source Godot engine by a small indie team led by designer Adriaan de Jongh (Hidden Folks).

Whether you’re fine-tuning the perfect tower layout or enjoying its laid-back respawn system, Rift Riff delivers a satisfying tower defense experience that rewards both careful planning and casual play.
