Description
About This Game
On a distant planet, rifts in space are opening — threatening to release planet-devouring monsters into the galaxy. Close the rifts and save the galaxy in this modern Metroidvanian quest with tight platforming, fast-paced combat, and deep RPG progression.
COMBAT: Engage in fast, fluid battles against a wide variety of enemies and bosses across multiple distinct biomes. Use precision platforming, invincible dashes, flight, and more. Switch between customizable weapons on the fly and use every skill at your disposal.
EXPLORATION: Discover a vast, interconnected alien world packed with hidden paths, alternate routes and mysterious rifts. Be on the lookout for Vitality Sparks, Power Sparks, and other upgrades. As your abilities evolve, so does the world around you.
CUSTOMIZATION: Collect over 150 unique Skill Chips — each offering new abilities, passive buffs, and weapon modifications — are available. Slot them into a puzzle-like skill grid to shape your build, enhance your arsenal, and create a playstyle that's your own. With so much to find, no two playthroughs are exactly the same!
PROGRESSION: You're not in this fight alone. Rescue stranded colonists to rebuild and expand the outpost. Each person you rescue brings something new. Sell loot and make upgrades. As you grow stronger, so does your home base.
A Modern Metroidvania-like
Star Rift Saga takes the best elements of the Metroidvania genre — ability-based progression, non-linear exploration, and rewarding secrets — while minimizing the repetitive backtracking that can slow down the pace. You'll be rewarded for backtracking and exploring areas you've already been more deeply, but not required to.
