About the Game

RIFTWALKER

A gritty sci-fi bounty hunter RPG inspired by The Mandalorian, Dune, and Max Payne.

Track fugitives across lawless worlds where contracts pay well and mistakes get you killed.

Step into the Void.

A hidden layer of reality that lets you bypass defenses, flank enemies, and hunt from impossible angles.

Take contracts across a dangerous star system and track criminals hiding in settlements, ruins, and syndicate strongholds.

• Track targets across multiple worlds
• Follow signals, clues, and last known locations
• Some fugitives run
• Some fugitives fight
• Some set traps

Every bounty is a hunt.

Fast combat built around movement and precision.

• Slide and roll through incoming fire
• Aim down sights and strike with precision
• Deploy your drone for tactical support
• Hack defenses and turn security against your enemies
• Activate Void Time to slow the world and control the fight

When the hunt turns violent, speed is survival.

Enter a hidden layer of reality that exists between life and death.

• Bypass defenses and security systems
• Escape danger when the odds turn against you
• Strike enemies from impossible angles

But stay too long…

and something in the Void begins to notice.

Deploy a tactical drone to gain the advantage.

• Scan enemies through walls
• Disable security systems and defenses
• Incapacitate targets with darts, gas bombs, and a high-voltage taser

Track targets.
Control the battlefield.

A smart hunter uses every tool available.

Travel across dangerous worlds where settlements struggle to survival and syndicates rule from the shadows.

• Scavenge abandoned ruins
• Navigate hostile environments
• Discover hidden locations across the frontier

Every world has secrets.
And every world has someone worth hunting.

Ride hoverbikes across the frontier and chase fugitives through unforgiving terrain.

• Cross dangerous landscapes at high speed
• Pursue targets across the open wilderness
• Reach locations far beyond the city walls

Some bounties try to run.

That’s when the hunt really begins.
