About the Game

A lone robot. An unknown world. And rifts that keep tearing open.

RIFT DIGGER is an isometric base-building automation game where you dig for resources, build and automate production facilities, manufacture weapons, and deploy robot subordinates to capture and hold interdimensional rifts before they consume everything you've built.

Every rift you ignore grows more dangerous. Every one you capture gives you new resources, new power, and new problems.

Core Gameplay

Start with nothing but a pickaxe and a patch of earth. Dig to uncover ore veins, crystals, and rare materials buried beneath the surface. Build facilities that process raw resources into usable components. Manufacture weapons and equipment. Deploy subordinate robots to dig, collect, build, and operate your growing base while you push deeper into the world — or defend what you've already claimed.

Key Features

  • Isometric world exploration — A large bounded world filled with multiple biomes, hidden resource deposits, and rifts that open as you dig deeper

  • Real digging mechanics — The world is destructible. Carve your own paths, create defensive chokepoints, and expose buried deposits

  • Subordinate robot AI — Assign miner bots, builder bots, and collector bots to automate the tedious work so you can focus on strategy

  • Production chains — Raw ore becomes refined metal becomes weapons components becomes firepower. Build and optimize your supply lines

  • Rift capture system — Locate rifts on the map, build defenses around them, and hold them against escalating waves. Each captured rift unlocks new resource types

  • Research tree — Unlock faster machines, better weapons, advanced automation, and new bot types as you progress

  • Steam Achievements — 30+ achievements tracking your progress from first dig to full rift domination
