Play it if you…
Good fit- Co-op players who want PvE missions for small squads

Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking a story-led campaign structure; the description centers on repeatable deployments and mission objectives.
- Players who want to keep mission loot regardless of extraction; failed runs lose collected items and can scar carried weapons.
- Players who need a game that works without a live internet connection.
Our take on RIFTSTORM
The pitch stresses a forgiving, power-focused extraction loop, but failed runs still cost all mission finds and can alter weapons brought in. The scar system softens that loss only in part: affected weapons remain usable, though one mod is replaced by a random negative one.
What is RIFTSTORM?
RIFTSTORM is an online co-op PvE looter-shooter in which players take the role of Weavers, operatives sent to investigate anomalies and fight mythic threats.
Missions involve completing objectives, collecting weapons and field upgrades, and deciding whether to extract or push into more dangerous areas. Players can deploy alone or with up to two friends. Each Weaver has distinct abilities and a squad role, while Lythogram upgrades let players change builds during a mission. Rift Exposure Zones offer higher-risk encounters and rewards. Failing to extract means losing mission loot, and weapons brought into the mission may receive a random negative mod. The game requires a live internet connection.
How RIFTSTORM plays
