Incredible grappler platformer, easily one of my favorite platformers on steam.
Yeah I dont recommend this game, tried my very best to see the good of this game but the controls throw me off during the boss fight that I quit mid fight.
Pros:
Story is decent.
Upgrades are fair, you can even change difficulty to make it easier to obtain those upgrades.
Challenging obstacles.
Fast Paced, along with some pretty good bosses.
Cons:
It can be clunky at times, whenever I try to air dash it goes for grapple instead. Thats been frustrating me for a long time that I decide to quit. Ruins the challenge and the momentum whenever I try to pull something and it does something I didnt want to do. While its just one bad thing, its a MAJOR problem because it can apply every gameplay. I've been tolerating it for awhile believing theres some other way, but no it has to constantly be a problem so I quit.
I wouldnt recommend this game, unfortunately.
Really fun from what I briefly played, but I then discovered that the leaderboard server is offline with no plans to bring it back online, so I refunded as I was specifically looking for a leaderboard competition game. Still a great game for anyone who doesn't care about the lack of working leaderboards
Overall fun game. Some levels could do with some slight changes to make it easier though, especially when it comes to the time attack challenges, some of which require insane levels of precision to beat. But if you like fast paced 80's themed precision platformers it's definitely worth it.
A splendid 2D game, with high speed, accuracy, and tight controls that i would like to group with others in its class like Celeste and Hollow Knight.
This one is almost all about swinging, which is something i always like in a game. It starts off in a nice easy way allowing you to grasp the basics quickly, and progressively it will get harder while also putting in new mechanics for you to learn and master.
All the while you are swinging around you will find and earn shards which are used to upgrade your abilities and unlock new ones, and with these upgrades you can keep progressing into new levels, or go back and earn shards you could not get before.
Rifter was for me, throughout, a fresh experience. It kept hitting with new things each level, and i loved going back to find shards, but especially to beat challenges and break time records. (It also has a ghost feature so you can see others runs and do yours at the same time.)
The game used to be great, but there is a graphical bug in it that appeared some time ago, it has been reported and the developer does nothing about it.
The game is unplayable as is...
I am on a flavor of Ubuntu and as long as the dev does not respond to those kind of issues, I can't recommend the game.
Pretty fun game. I recommend it especially for downtime or if you want to get better and better. Dialogue is cute and neat and controls are very smooth and rewarding. Hopefully something like workshop gets added or more content is released.
Amazing game. Although it's not really big, there is a lot of things you can do with all the challenges, and it's really fun trying to finish the levels as fast as you can. This game can bring you a lot of hours of fun. Definitively recomended, it's a great experience. It's an amazing game.
Does what it says on the tin.
Rifter is certainly interesting. This is a rather unique and really solid precision platformer with tight controls and satisfying gameplay. You'll swing and dash your way through enemies and levels while jamming to a solid set of tracks. It is tough, but in a way that is uber satisfying when you get that smooth run down. Combat is extremely satisfying and can be made as fancy or simple as you choose.
I would be remiss if I did not mention the characters. Tiny, your companion, and Zip, the challenge giver, are awesome. They really bring the smiles amidst some of your frustration. This is a speedrunning platformer, so story/characters may not be that important, but to me, those two really give a lot of personality to this title.
If the trailers look interesting to you, I'd recommend giving it a try for yourself. What videos cannot portray is the actual *feeling* of swinging through the levels and arena combat areas, and how good it feels to get a smooth pass on a level you've been having trouble with.
Highly recommend.
One of the very best in the field of fast-paced precision platformers. Smooth and super-fast movement that massively rewards skill, a relatively forgiving base level of difficulty with harder optional challenges sprinkled all over, great variety in level design (there are awesome boss fights too!), in-game competitive leaderboards for speedrunners and a striking, polished audiovisual style to tie it all together - can't go wrong with those ingredients. The developer is a cool guy too.
Absolutely tons of fun! The controls and gameplay are super tight, and the speed is just right! The interface is great and the levels variation and mechanics are fantastic! It's quick to pick up (but takes skill to master) and the level length is perfect even if you only have a few minutes to play here and there! I would definitely recommend if this type of game appeals to you at all!
Super fun fast-paced grappling hook platformer with smooth acrobatic movement, fantastic level and enemy design, and satisfying dash-into-enemies combat that will make you wonder why other grappling hook games don't do combat this way. The controls make it very easy to pick up, especially considering it's a grappling hook game, but it's still ridiculously hard to master; I'd argue that some of the optional end-game challenge levels are even harder than the equivalent levels in Celeste.
It has a ton of levels, hidden collectibles and optional challenges, e.g. "finish this stage without touching the ground" or "finish this stage without using the grappling hook more than X times", like the similar "only use X portals" challenges in Portal. I bought this after randomly seeing it in my Steam discovery queue and ended up getting waaaay more polish and content than I expected, along with super tight momentum-based controls. Highly recommended!
This game is amazing. You should buy it.
There are certain games that are just special. This is one of them. I put it up there with Nex Machina as an impeccable arcade experience that will have you throwing your control in frustration and then rushing to the store to buy another.
It's will feel wierd at first, but once you "get it", the experience is invigorating. The speed, the precision, the challenge.
You've probably noticed the amazing aesthetic + music, which provides a lovely backdrop for your hours of playing the same level over and over trying to shave off seconds or complete one of the games devious challenges. Good stuff, but the real meat here is the gameplay.
Despite the depth of it's mechanics, the game does a wonderful job of tutorializing and slowly feeding them to you.
So, there are the mainline levels. They have checkpoints, you have health. You will be swinging and dashing your way through them, and you can take your time. The difficulty curve is pretty smooth as well, so as soon as your thumbs are getting sore a new toy will be introduced that you will want to play with.
Each zone has a few of these levels, and once you've gone through them, you unlock the "boss" level which usually has some unique challenges and set-pieces. Eventually, you will also get a few bonus levels: there are "puzzle" style levels that I really love (but they might drive you insane), and then later some "speed" levels are introduced which require you to hit a series of checkpoints in a very tight time window. There are 4 zones per planet, and I'm on the third and last planet. The game says I am 62% finished.
So, that's great, right? Well, you can also replay every single one of these levels to collect hidden "shards" and tackle challenges with "shard" rewards (and there are some special ones that are real head-scratchers). You can also go for score or time and see how you stack up on the leaderboards. There is full ghost support so you can have real-time feedback on your run, and you can watch any of the runs on the leaderboard to learn from the best.
If any of this sounds interesting, try it out. I highly recommend a controller and the twin-stick control scheme for the independent aim it provides. You can also play with m+kb, just keyboard, or use a more standard platformer scheme as well. The controls are all fully rebindable as well.
Oh, there is story too. There are some interesting characters (you're just a mute Rifter) and I actually loled at some of the writing. The lore and some of the big story beats are hidden behind "story shards" that you need to collect so you can get access to some of the more esoteric bits. That means, if you want the full story, you're going to have to git gud. Personally, I think it's great and I look forward to hunting down every last bit.
EDIT:
So after 40+ hours I've nearly 100% the game. I've collected every last shard, I've beaten every single level, and completed nearly every challenge. There is one "Take no damage" challenge I have left to conquer in a level called Cramped that has three waves of enemies. Eventually, I will get lucky and do it ^_^.
Just a note, others have done all that in far less time. So, completion time will depend on your skill.
Besides that, I've gotten into the leaderboards a bit and even took a couple #1 spots (that were very quickly taken from me ^_^).
Luckily, there are 4 save slots, so I will probably have a go at speedrunning through the entire game, or just playing it through again for fun. This just doesn't feel like a game I'm going to put down after it's "done".
I'm always on the lookout for challenging and fast paced platformers, so when I saw the trailer for Rifter about a month ago I instantly fell in love. It looked like everything I want from a game, and more. Now that I've played it, I can tell you... It's even better than I thought.
It starts off quite easy for the first few levels, but the difficulty ramps up quick to place that is appropriate for a game of this type - it is a difficult game, but as any good difficult game it is never unfair. You get better quickly, and breezing through parts of a level that you just a few minutes ago were completely stuck on is amazingly satisfactory.
The level design is excellent. It could easily have become a bit tideous to just be running one direction all the time, but the game mixes it up with fights that take place in enclosed spaces, in a more arena-like setting where you get a chance to learn the layout of the map, rather than just blazing past it.
I'm not going to comment much on the graphics and the audio, you can see for yourself that they are amazing. However, I think that some more variation in these areas would not harm the game. I think that adding a few extra songs would go a long way, though as I'm writing this I'm not done with the game, so maybe some more songs will unlock as I progress?
I love Super Meat Boy, and ever since I played it I've been on the lookout for something that scratches the same itch. This game is not only better than Super Meat Boy, it is the best 2D platformer that I've ever played. It's just that good.
Very well made, fast paced and keeps you playing for awhile. I don't have a whole ton of time on it but its an amazing game altogether.
Recommended to me by one of my Twitch Viewers. I'm so glad they convinced me. It has an incredible movement system and a simple and strong aesthetic. The soundtrack is a perfect match to the visuals of the game as well. I've ran into a few parts that were difficult to pass, but the satisfaction of smoothly beating the level makes it worth it. Please give it a try.
This game combines great visuals, fast-paced and easy to learn but hard to master gameplay and a good synthwave soundtrack into one awesome experience, highly recommended!
This is my first review for a game but i have to say i love this game. Sure the 80's aesthetic is nothing nobody has ever seen, but it feels so refreshing in this games case. I first saw gameplay the day BEFORE this game came out and I was instantly hooked. Steam is filled to the brim with horrible games with zero control over what goes on it and this game is an example of what to do RIGHT. It allows for fast and continuous platforming mixed with grapling and zipping action while also being explorative enough to let you stop what your doing. Infact the game ENOCOURAGES YOU from the start to do so and you will always be rewarded. Mix that in with a sidekick that isnt annoying, a progression system similar to something like ori and the blind forest and some banging beats and you have a hell of a game that is totally worth the $10 price.
Rifter is a very fluent and fast paced rope platformer.
Speed runs and collectibles as well as challenges for the levels take
it all to a new difficulty.
I like the sound optics and overall look and feel. Its cool to play and
hard to master ;) watching speedruns of other people makes it look
super easy! But try yourself. Worth playing for sure!
Either for a nice experience inbetween or the hardcore challenge through and through!
I just bought it, played the first planet and it's awesome. Love the 80s soundtrack. The game gives you the feeling that you are doing something awesome. It makes fun and gives you anger, but good anger that let's you enjoy your success even more. Feelings I remember from playing Super Meat Boy.
Rifter is a very refreshing take on a "hardcore" platformer that relies on enjoyable grappling mechanics. It's basically designed for a speedrunner community because you get ranks depending on how you perform. It seems like you have to manually enable leaderboards, which is a nice gesture if you want to avoid that competitive pressure. The first 20 minutes I had a hard time with default controls. You should probably go to controller settings and check the "classic controls", see if that makes it more comfortable. Also, you can rebind the keys and buttons. The game settings are very good in general, especially for this type of game.
Obviously, the game has a very stylish aesthetic, although I feel that variety in environments is lacking; I got to the second planet and the environment is essentially a color swap. Not that I don't like the way the game looks, it just needs more backgrounds and unique detail, otherwise, it may feel somewhat repetitive. Each planet has several towers which are like sets of missions and challenges. Most levels have secret collectibles that can be spent on skills trees. Yes, the game has skills trees despite not being an RPG, granted they are very linear and not all that interesting.
The selling aspect of Rifter is the dynamic platforming, it feels unique when compared to almost any other platformer (well, there was a similar game that came out not too long ago). Still, even for someone like me that played platformers all my life, Rifter managed to make me feel like "a fish out of water". The gameplay feels great, it takes a lot of practice but I have no complaints. I would say that difficulty is slightly above average, there are plenty of checkpoints and the levels are not too long. I should make a note of the soundtrack, it fits the game very well and it tends to speed up or slow down depending on circumstances (ahh and the songs are very good).
Pros:
+ very good game settings, including things you would not expect
+ you can rebind controls (keyboard & controller)
+ unique and dynamic gameplay, feels great
+ stellar soundtrack used dynamically
+ basic skills tree and unlockable mobility tools
+ hidden gems and many challenges
+ overall a good aesthetic and polished experience
Cons:
- I don't think that planets are different enough
Overall Thoughts: 8/10
Perhaps the game is not for everyone, its focus on complex platforming and hard challenges might filter out a certain type of gamer. I am not a competitive person but I am enjoying the feel of the game, it feels different when compared to your traditional platformer. You might have to play around with controls until you find a sweet spot. Overall, a solid game in almost every aspect, the variety in environments feels somewhat lacking though.
