About this game

What this game is, in the developer's words

Riftborne is a classic terminal based, real time, grand strategy game. Construct space ships. Take part in factional warfare. Hire galactic hit-men on your rivals. Raid neighbors for rare resources. Train spies to infiltrate enemy bases for key intel. Grow your empire to dominate the galaxy.

Riftborne is a slow, long-form sci-fi strategy game built around patience, planning, and scale.

The enemies adapt to your play style over time, and even across new game saves.

You begin with a single base. That grows into a network of colonies, fleets, supply lines, defenses, contracts, and political influence. Early progress is small and deliberate. Later, the game opens into logistics, faction conflict, economic pressure, territorial control, and rival powers that have had time to grow into serious threats.

This is not a fast campaign. A run can unfold over weeks or months as your empire develops.

Riftborne is aimed at players who enjoy learning a dense system, building momentum slowly, and seeing small decisions matter much later.

If you want constant action, rapid unlocks, or a campaign built to be finished in a weekend, this probably will not be your kind of game.
