The station is dying. You are the last repairman, and glitches pour from the rifts.
Rift Shards is a fast survivor-like: enemies close in from every side, your weapons fire on their own, and everything depends on how you move and what you upgrade.
WHAT'S INSIDE:
• 3 classes: Mechanic, Assault, Technician — each with its own style and ability
• 9 weapon branches of 5 grades — 45 weapons, each playing differently: saws, drills, lightning, shotguns, grenades, rockets, beams, cryo, gravity
• Mods: pierce, ricochet, blast, burn, freeze, lifesteal
• Bosses every few minutes, with phases and unique attacks
• Endless mode: play as long as you can hold out
• Workshop: turn cores from each run into permanent upgrades
• Leaderboard by survival time
Every run is a new build. Find the combo that wipes the rift.
How to play
CONTROLS
• Desktop: WASD or arrow keys to move. You can also hold the left mouse button and your character walks to the cursor.
• Phone and tablet: touch the screen and a joystick appears there. Drag to run; the farther from the center, the faster you go.
COMBAT
Weapons fire automatically at the nearest enemies — no aiming needed. Your job is to avoid being surrounded and to pick the right upgrades.
PROGRESSION
• Killed enemies drop shards. Collect them to level up and choose an upgrade.
• At milestones you pick a weapon branch, then grow it up to grade 5.
• Cores earned in a run are spent in the Workshop on permanent bonuses.
TIPS
• Keep moving: most damage comes from touching the crowd.
• Line enemies up — piercing weapons then hit several at once.
• Against a boss keep your distance and dodge the telegraphed attacks.
