Rift Divers

Reality has sprung a leak. Somebody has to jump through the cracks, punch the monsters on the other side, and come back with pockets full of shiny loot. Congratulations: that somebody is you.

Rift Divers is a top-down horde survival game with a proper ARPG heart. You fight wave after wave of monsters until the screen is mostly explosions, but when the run ends you keep everything. Your level, your gear, your gems, your talent points. Every dive makes your hero a little more powerful.

Your skills cast themselves. Your only job is to stay alive, pick fun upgrades, and enjoy the fireworks.

6 Unique Classes with their own talent trees. 

Five areas, five bosses. 

Loot, glorious loot. 

Shops for your bad habits. 

Online co-op for up to 4 players.

Optimized for large packs of 500+ enemies!

Mage: A glass cannon who wields, fire, ice and arcane magics.
Paladin: A walking wall of plate, auras and hammers.
Druid: Commands earth, storm, sun and moon. 
Ranger: Fast, crit-happy, and never alone thanks to their animal companions.
Warlock: skeletons, demons, plague and blood magic.
Barbarian: Fury, rage, giant weapons and ancestral spirits.

Start in the pleasant meadows of the Verdant Outskirts (the monsters there are almost polite), then work your way through scorched badlands, a glacier with a grudge and the Rift itself, all the way down to Hell. Things get hotter, colder and stranger the deeper you go. Survive until the timer runs out and the area's boss crawls out to meet you. Beat it to clear the area.

One player hosts, up to three friends join with the host's IP address, and the whole party dives together. The game tries to open the port on your router automatically (UPnP), so most of the time it just works. If it doesn't, forward port 24601 on the host's router. Everyone brings their own character, and an item drop belongs to whoever landed the kill, so nobody can swipe your legendary. (You can still argue about who carried.)

• WASD / arrow keys / gamepad: move. That's the main thing. Skills fire on their own.
• C: talent tree
• I: inventory
• Q / E: switch between screens in the menus
• P / Esc: pause
• Mouse wheel or + / -: zoom in and out

Current version: 0.8.1. Rift Divers is in active development, with new skills, talents, enemies and bosses on the way. Bug reports, balance complaints and "this build is broken (in a good way)" screenshots are all very welcome in the comments!
