BIG DEMO UPDATE — NEW ABILITIES, GRAPPLE HOOK & CO-OP FIXES
Great news — the RIFTFALL demo has been fully updated with a huge batch of new features, fixes and polish!
NEW: SQUAD ABILITIES
Your operator now brings their own gear to the fight. Deploy a Sentry Turret or throw up a Shield Barricade with a single press of Q — unlockable and upgradable as you progress. Every hero plays differently now.
NEW: GRAPPLE HOOK
Double-tap your melee key (F) to fire a grapple, hook an enemy and drag them straight to you — then finish them with a devastating first sword strike. Rip a flying enemy out of the sky and cut it in half. It never gets old.
ALSO IN THIS UPDATE
- Big performance pass — much smoother framerate in heavy battles
- Tutorial Survival overhauled: better pacing, new enemy types, rebalanced difficulty
- New enemies: Void Sentinels and cloaking Phase Sentinels
- Dozens of bug fixes across combat, allies, audio and UI
CO-OP IS READY — GRAB A FRIEND
2-player online co-op has had a major round of fixes and is ready to play.
Just make sure both players are on the latest build. ⚠ ALREADY INSTALLED OLD BUILD? PLEASE FULLY UNINSTALL AND REINSTALL THE DEMO. Steam sometimes serves an older cached version instead of patching — a clean reinstall guarantees you're on the newest build. ▶ PLAY THE RIFTFALL DEMO ON STEAM See you in the rift.
