Get ready to enter a world of sentai-themed bullet heaven RPG action with Rift Rangers, launching out of early access on May 24th, 2023 on PC! Developed by Epic Story Interactive, this rogue-lite RPG time survival game is all about fusing sentai action with a retro pixel art style, intuitive controls, and a tight reward loop, giving players the chance to save the day as a multi-colored hero of justice or suffer crushing defeat.
In Rift Rangers, players take command of powerful sentai tasked with protecting Earth from evil forces pouring through a rift in space-time from The Master Brain. To save the planet, the Rangers must enter the rift and fight overwhelming hordes of inter-dimensional monsters. The game’s Mega Mecha will finalize its power-up cycle after holding the line for 20 intense minutes, enabling players to stomp all their enemies.
The game features randomized upgrade options with each level, meaning every mission will require a different strategy. The game follows the “die, learn, retry” style of play where upgrades reset after every run, and players can use energy chips collected in previous playthroughs to buy permanent upgrades between runs. With no saves and no extra lives, players must enhance their team with ultra upgrades to gain a permanent advantage against the forces of darkness.
As players progress through the game, they’ll unlock 13 different levels of difficulty, each with their unique ranger abilities, weapons, and unstoppable fighting force. The game also features a tight reward loop that ensures players never feel bogged down or overwhelmed by the action.
Rift Rangers draws inspiration from the sentai sub-genre of the Japanese tokusatsu entertainment style. The game boasts cool costumes, cheesy lines, comedically evil monsters, and awesome helmets. The developers at Epic Story Interactive have used invaluable player feedback throughout the early access period to adjust and add features and content, including new levels, Rangers, enemies, turrets, cutscenes, interface, and modes.
The game’s upcoming launch brings a host of updates, unlockables, and content, making it the perfect time for new players to jump into the action. With randomized power-ups and a unique reward loop system, Rift Rangers is a challenging and rewarding game that’s sure to keep players engaged for hours on end. Don’t miss your chance to join the fight and save the planet!
