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. Features Explore a vast, interconnected planet with secrets around every corner. Fight a variety of enemies and bosses in real-time platforming combat using weapons and items on the fly. Collect items and skill chips to help you in tight situations. No need to stop the action or navigate a menu to use one, your inventory is always right at your fingertips! Customize your playstyle using over 140 skill chips. Boost your stats, gain new abilities, or change entire weapons by equipping chips in the puzzle-based skill grid. Upgrade your arsenal. You'll find new equipment and weapons to reach new areas, increase the selection at your local items shop, and even rescue colonists to gain new benefits at the outpost.
