What is RIFTSTORM?
RIFTSTORM is a co-op looter-shooter ARPG with a roguelite twist, where players dive into dynamic missions, gather loot, and build powerful character builds as they face mythic threats from other realms. Set in the secretive Occultical Universe created by Confiction Labs, the game blends fast-paced action with a story steeped in cosmic and occult mysteries.
The game’s unique cooperative gameplay allows players to experience the world as Weavers, operatives of the Mythic Protocol, a secret organization dedicated to protecting Earth from supernatural threats.
Understanding the Occultical Universe
In RIFTSTORM’s world, ordinary life hides secrets. The Mythic Protocol is a global alliance of secret societies dedicated to studying and combating Mythics—monsters and entities from other dimensions. The Mythic Protocol’s operatives work together to protect humanity from these threats, using an advanced mix of technology and arcane knowledge.
The Factions
Within the Mythic Protocol, several factions have their own methods and motives:
Emporium: A faction that uses its wealth and influence to control Riftworld resources.
Naga Society: Originating in Asia, they protect their waters from supernatural threats.
Maledictum: Founded by Leonardo da Vinci, this group combines occult knowledge and science.
Interregnum: A military faction formed by ex-soldiers to combat supernatural entities.
Core Gameplay Mechanics
RIFTSTORM brings together intense combat with a variety of features that make each mission unique.
Looter-Shooter with Roguelite Elements
Each mission offers a new experience, thanks to randomized in-mission upgrades and loot. Players earn valuable resources and encounter evolving threats, ensuring every mission feels fresh. Building your character’s abilities and loadouts is key to success.
Combat Power (CP) and Progression
As you progress, you’ll gain Combat Power (CP), which affects which missions you can undertake. For a greater challenge, players can select missions with higher CP requirements. To master RIFTSTORM’s progression, check out the Mission System Guide for tips on selecting the right missions and making the most of CP.
Leaderboards and Competitions
Compete with other players through in-game leaderboards and on the official RIFTSTORM website. These leaderboards track your success in missions and help you gauge your skills against other players worldwide.
Choosing and Customizing Your Weaver
Weavers are elite operatives with specialized skills, each fitting a unique playstyle. Selecting the right Weaver and gear is essential for overcoming challenges in both solo and co-op play.
Available Weavers
The game currently features several unique Weavers:
Starling: A weapons expert with powerful combat skills.
Thistle: Uses magic to control the battlefield.
Botsy: Excels in strategic turret deployment.
Rook: A versatile Weaver with reliable equipment and straightforward abilities.
Visit the Picking a Character guide to get a full overview of each Weaver and how to maximize their abilities in different mission settings.
Loadouts and Gear Selection
Customizing your loadout lets you equip both primary and secondary weapons tailored to your strategy. You’ll see icons indicating when other team members use the same weapon, which helps optimize team dynamics during co-op missions.
Missions and Rifts: Entering the Battlefield
Missions in RIFTSTORM offer a variety of challenges, environments, and objectives. Each mission unfolds within Rifts, portals to dangerous dimensions filled with Mythics and hidden rewards.
Selecting Missions
Before each mission, players can choose from a variety of options based on their CP. For an extra challenge, missions with higher CP are marked in red. Check out the Mission System Guide to learn how to select the best missions for your Weaver and maximize rewards.
Rifts and Mythics
Rifts are portals that lead to dangerous zones where players face Mythics, supernatural enemies from other realms. Each mission presents new Mythics and unique obstacles that push players to their limits.
Cooperative Multiplayer and Party Dynamics
RIFTSTORM shines in its cooperative gameplay, letting players team up for challenging missions.
How Co-op Works
Players can create a party and invite friends, or join a public lobby to pair up with other players. Whether working with friends or meeting new allies, cooperative missions let players combine their Weaver’s abilities for maximum effect.
Synergy and Strategy
Choosing complementary Weavers and coordinating loadouts allows your team to face tougher missions and come out victorious. Co-op play lets you experience RIFTSTORM’s most challenging content and forge memorable gaming moments.
In-Mission Upgrades and Lythograms
Lythograms are collectible upgrades found in missions, offering temporary boosts that shape your build in real time. As you progress, each Lythogram enhances your Weaver’s abilities, allowing you to adapt to the evolving mission and overcome new obstacles.
Adapting Your Strategy
Lythograms are integral to RIFTSTORM’s roguelite mechanics. Choose wisely to enhance your Weaver’s strengths or compensate for weaknesses. This adaptability is crucial for surviving tough missions and maximizing loot.
The Forge Center: Crafting and Salvaging Weapons
Crafting and salvaging weapons are core to maintaining a strong arsenal. At the Forge Center, you can craft specific weapons using blueprints or random weapons with available materials. Salvaging is also crucial for resource management, providing materials for future crafting.

The Portal is also where players can redeem rewards and influence the lore through collaborative entertainment.
