About Rift Fighter
What is Rift Fighter?
Rift Fighter is a free pixel-art survivors-like that plays in your browser. Its title screen sums it up: type your skills, survive the horde. Your hero fires a basic shot on its own, but the big moves in Rift Fighter are techniques you cast by typing short key sequences, so your hands stay busy instead of only steering.
How a Rift Fighter run starts
Choose New Game on the title screen and Rift Fighter drops you into a dark arena. An EXP bar runs across the top, your HP bar sits under it, your level shows at Lv 1, and a timer counts up in the corner. Pixel monsters drift in from the edges, your hero shoots at them on its own, and defeated enemies leave glowing gems that fill the EXP bar.
Typing techniques in Rift Fighter
Techniques in Rift Fighter are typed as sequences on the J, K, L and I keys, and the game lets you rebind them. You start with Charge, cast by pressing J then K, and a prompt at the bottom of the screen shows how far into a sequence you are. The game's instructions say the other techniques drop as manuals from elites and bosses, so each Rift Fighter run teaches you new combos.
Rift Fighter controls
Move with WASD or the arrow keys. J confirms, K cancels, and Tab opens your inventory, which Rift Fighter calls the Bag on its title screen. The game's instructions also describe touch controls: a floating stick on the left and four action buttons on the right. Click the game frame once before your first run so it receives your key presses.
Tips for Rift Fighter
Learn the Charge sequence until you can type it without looking, because it is the one technique every Rift Fighter run starts with. Keep moving between casts so the horde never closes the gap. When an elite or boss appears, take it down: those are the enemies that drop new technique manuals. Watch the sequence bar at the bottom if a cast does not fire.
Rift Fighter for Poke Survivor fans
Poke Survivor, the main game on this site, is a pure steer-and-survive game where every attack is automatic. Rift Fighter keeps the same horde, gems and levels but adds a typing layer on top, so it suits players who want more to do with their hands. If you finish a Poke Survivor run and want something that asks a little more, open Rift Fighter above.
