About this game
An unknown force from a parallel reality has invaded our Earth. Using dark magic and advanced technology, the enemy managed to concentrate the energy of our planet into three magical runes. For many years, these runes have served as a source of power for the "Dark Lords" and have kept the dimensional rift active. Until recently, there was absolutely no information about the locations of the magical runes. But today, everything has changed! The best resistance fighters have been sent on a critical mission.
Max — young but seasoned commander (assault rifle / flamethrower),
Titan — warrior from another dimension who joined humanity (assault rifle / rocket launcher),
Alpha — electronics hacking specialist (pistol / tribolt laser).
The Rift Rebels is a classic retro-styled side-scrolling arcade action game.
You will journey through seven chapters, each consisting of two levels and a boss battle.
Each level grants you three lives. If all are lost, the level must be replayed — but your chapter progress remains intact.
Before starting any chapter, you may choose one of three unique characters.
Upon completing a chapter, your progress is saved, and all its levels become permanently available from the main menu.
This means you can always play through the entire game from start to finish, just like in the golden age of arcades — or jump straight into any unlocked chapter.
The game supports multiple control schemes (you can review them in the settings menu) for keyboard and mouse, as well as controller support.
Fans of retro arcade action games will feel right at home!

The Game is Up!
The Rift Rebels are officially out on Steam! And yes, I launched a bit ahead of schedule — sometimes things just come together faster than planned! When creating this game, I drew heavy inspiration from classic side-scrolling action games of the 16-bit era. Specifically, the Sega Genesis (Mega Drive) — one of my all-time favorite consoles. The soundtrack was crafted with that same inspiration. I aimed to capture the iconic sounds and atmosphere of the Sega era, blending them with a modern twist. If you love classic gameplay, and a touch of nostalgia, I hope you'll like the game!Read full article on Community Announcements (dreamer.88)AnnouncementsOfficial
The Rift Rebels Coming Soon
Hey everyone!The Rift Rebels is finally coming to Steam.I plan to release the game around February 27th.This is actually the 4th game I made, but my second Steam release.Unlike the previous one (Terminal Breach: Final Dawn), which was my take on classic FPS, The Rift Rebels is a side-scrolling action game.My main inspirations were side-scrolling action games from the SEGA Genesis / Mega Drive era — some of my favorites like Doom Troopers, Alien 3, and a bit of Shinobi.Even for the music, this time I used emulation of 16-bit SEGA sounds, so hopefully you’ll like the soundtrack too.Read full article on Community Announcements (dreamer.88)
