About the Game

Two Towns. One magical Rift. War is the only constant.

Helrift is a gritty MMORPG with old-school intensity, where two towns go to war over the very essence that is slowly poisoning the world.

Play your way: There are no fixed classes. Choose your stats, equipment and skills to build a warrior, archer, mage or combination of your own. Take advantage of talents and stats to give yourself an edge over both monsters and players.

Choose a Town and find your allies: Take up arms for one of two warring factions, each with unique history and purpose. Hunt alongside friends and strangers in open-world PvP.

A World of Conflict: Hunt monsters and experience massive, scheduled server-wide events where the Towns clash for dominance and reap the rewards.

Build a Legend: Define your own combat style by shaping your stats, equipment, and skills. From battle mages to pure warriors, archers and agile, mana-infused scouts. Adapt your build to play your way.

Hone your craft: Mine ore, cut timber, gather plants and fish the island’s waters. Turn materials and monster drops into equipment, potions and other supplies to use or sell.
