Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking a slow-paced or non-combat experience may find its focus on shooting hordes and bosses too action-heavy.

- Players seeking a multiplayer shooter may prefer a game whose description explicitly centers on co-op play.
Our take on Rigid Force Alpha
The pitch emphasizes an extensive campaign and extra modes, but the stated structure is six stages across three modes. The description offers no stage-by-stage breakdown, so the campaign's variety is difficult to assess from these details.
What is Rigid Force Alpha?
Rigid Force Alpha is a side-scrolling shooter with 3D models and environments.
Its six stages make up a story mode with animated cutscenes and voice acting, where a fighter faces infected aliens, war machines, swarms, mid-bosses, and giant bosses. Weapon systems can be upgraded, while Force Shards provide additional firepower. Collecting Energy Orbs builds energy for a blast against enemies. Alongside the main campaign, Arcade and Boss Rush modes offer separate ways to play. Difficulty settings range from beginner to experienced players. The game also includes global leaderboards, 40 achievements, gamepad and rumble support, and a synthwave soundtrack by DREAMTIME featuring Michael Chait.
