A game of Koya Rift is pretty straightforward – you find yourself above ground standing in front of one of the delivery pods from the mercenary mothership. Your minimap hides the area below ground – and you have no idea what awaits you. The terrain of each level is procedurally generated (meaning it uses advanced algorithms to make itself different every time, providing nearly endless possibilities). Below ground lies a web of tunnels and caverns that is different every single time you play. It’s impossible to know what awaits you behind every corner. Procedural generation isn't just in the level – all of your enemies will seem different too. Their size, speed, color, health, damage, and weapon behavior will be unique for each one you fight. Your own weapons are generated the same way – the Lances you bring along with you to levels are generated out of endless possibilities. One gun may fire large, single shot energy blasts that slow down and weaken all enemies in a large radius, where another gun will shoot bursts of many bullets that curve in every direction with a waving motion, another gun that fires several shots at once but can pierce through walls and home after enemies, and another that heals and enhances your allies.
You have to venture down into the unfamiliar cave system and eliminate all of the Phantom Crystals (Where the enemy soldiers are grown). Unfortunately the Phantoms are hunting you the whole time, while their crystals evolve and grow. If you manage to destroy all the enemy crystals, you win the level.
Don’t get too proud though – if you beat it too easily the game will know and will be sure to adjust the difficulty for next time. Game difficulty in Koya Rift is complex – it’s not a simple modification to the amount of health you have, and it isn't a simple easy-normal-hard scale. Difficulty is a very precise unit of measurement that expands near-infinitely in either direction in this game. If you beat your last couple of levels easily it will slightly increase, if you keep getting beaten down without a fight it will decrease to help you out. Difficulty adjustments affect almost everything in game – from the reaction speed of the Phantoms, to the speed at which they grow and evolve, to the cost of your allies, the experience they need to level up, the accuracy, size, fire rate, and density of your energy weapons, the rate of health recovery, the effects of special weapons, the size of the levels you play on, the health and damage of your enemies, the speed and fragility of your allies, the cash value of killing an opponent, the swiftness and force of enemy attacks, and even more. There are so many values that change, and when they do change, they change with such subtlety that you will not be able to pick out exactly why this next game seems like more of a challenge for you than last, or why you’re finally able to beat that one level that you were stuck on for so long.
These items combine to create an excellent formula for expandable gameplay – in the end you have a game that you can always come back to and find something different, and always be challenged regardless of your ability.

-Way too easy, way too short. I completed everything the game had to offer in 70 minutes.
-There wasn't any real challenge to it.
+Gun visuals are nice
+worse ways to spend 3 dollars and 1 hour, I suppose.
I will flesh out this review over time.
HOWEVER, PLEASE KEEP IN MIND:
You get what you pay for.
This game is CHEAP for a reason...
PROS:
-Innovative Difficulty System. This was neat. I enjoyed watching my difficulty level go up as I played the game.
-Several weapon choices to choose from. This was also quite neat.
-Fresh spawns of enemies frequently. This keeps me busy.
CONS:
-This isn't flashy at all. This is simple, elementary gameplay.
-There is... Quite honestly... Only one type of enemy.
-The game is beaten extraordinarily fast. There is little to no replay value.
-Several things are NOT explained in the game. This is bad.
-The music you hear in the trailer? Yeah... That's not in the game.
Essentially, you are a... Human? With an arsenal of weaponry. You're trying to kill the Alien Race. This is nothing special. Nothing spectacular. There is no such thing as a "Story" in this game. Period.
The weaponry is basic and nearly everything is the same. It's nothing to gawk over. Different fire rates... Different power levels... But essentially the same weapon.
This game will be beaten once, then probably never played again, unless you thoroughly enjoy this type of game.
Overall.... 6-7/10, but ONLY for the price it is listed at. I can probably milk an hour, hour and half out of this game. I highly doubt I will get much more.
EDIT: This game is currently experiencing crashes. I'll update my review at a later time when these crashes are no longer persistent. Unfortunately, I will need to change my "Recommend" to a "Negative" Due to this aspect hindering gameplay.
Beat it in 20 minutes. The "campaign" is about 10 levels. But you can't even do the campaign until you play "battle" mode a dozen times, which is the game's way of making sure you know the game before you take on the campaign. Not worth even on sale for $3.50. Maybe 0.99 cents it would be worth.
Koya Rift has a a bug where everytime you access the weapon color details page it crashes when you exit it.
The only thing that would extend this game would be to have more upgrades for your character and with that an endless survival mode. Other than that, the maps may be random but certainly not "procedurally generated" as the trailer boasts.
