About Riftcast



Discover the realm of Reveria, a wild world a cast of curious creatures call home. Take the role as one of these monsters as you encounter all kinds of Reverians, and embark on all sorts of adventures and quests!

⭐ PLAY YOUR WAY

Customise your experience with two versions in Red and Blue, with exclusive and more easily accessible areas, homelands, species and shells, real time progression toggles and two distinct gameplay modes...

⭐ GO EASY, GO HARD


In Revery Mode, you're free to tame and nurture your currently active Reverian in one of 10 distinct homelands, while Gazing Mode presents a more challenging experience with requiring regular check-ins to maintain your whole team's well-being all at once - all while playing as the very weakest Reverians.

⭐ MEET THE REVERIANS

Play as one of over 50 fully-evolved Reverians in Revery Mode (or 5 special Reverians in Gazing Mode), and encounter over 100 species and discover their unique traits and needs, from dietary needs and instinctual habits to elemental skills and special abilities. Recruit and raise up to 20 party members through adoption, dropped eggs and defeating invaders!

⭐RAISE YOUR REVERIANS

Keep your party in top form by feeding, training and tending to their needs. Spend quality time with your party members by playing minigames and fighting alongside them, and watch bonds form as they hang out amongst each other... but watch out for infighting, truancy and sabotage!

⭐ COMPETE IN BATTLES


Fight with your party members or enter the fray with your own player character in classic turn-based bouts. Test your skills in Training Battles, participate in Tourneys, and undertake daring Nightward Raids against waves of adversaries!

⭐ EXPLORE THE WORLD


Visit your homeland for items, amenities and quests, and send off party members to search for materials and work for money and experience. Discover new areas to explore in as you increase your Player Rank with quests and raids!

⭐ COLLECT, CULTIVATE AND CRAFT


Manage your inventory wisely and stock up on essential supplies from your homeland's shops and the elusive Alterworks Depot. Harvest plants, go on a voyage for materials, craft your own items and cook new foods with the help of your party members!

✨ FEATURING

  • 135 species currently available
  • 83 zones of differing continents and biomes to explore
  • 50 tourneys to take on
  • 12 minigames for training and bonding
  • 11 homelands with exclusive items
  • 6 quest types involving battles and item/egg deliveries
  • Over 300 obtainable items, materials and foods
  • Forever free!

💫 PLEASE NOTE


This game's still in active development, and certain features, items and the like that are already visible or available don't do anything as of yet.

There are also some differences between Red and Blue versions, such as how often certain species appear and what areas are readily available or temporary, but exclusive content isn't totally inaccessible on one or the other.

Great idea, but it doesn't run. It starts a process in the background and the user must terminate the process manually, lest let it run and do whatever it is doing.

A little tricky to get into, some translation oddness in the UI, the manual is a must-read. Otherwise an excellent !!!Free!!! Virtual Pet to have questing in the corner while you browse the internet!

This is my first time playing a game in this genre. I like the game so far. There is lot of content and it's all for free. The pixel art is good and the sprite animations are really cute. There are coloured sprites and I am not sure if everything will be colour in final release. Personally I like the colour sprites The Audio can use sliders to increase or decrease the volume instead of on/off It's interesting and takes some time getting used to. I suggest to add a tutorial to showcase what each feature does and how to progress the game.

Final Fantasy XI price: what you pay, then keep paying

The Final Fantasy XI price is two numbers, and the subscription is the one that matters. Our tracked low, what the Ultimate Collection includes, and when buying at list is correct.

Castlevania Belmont's Curse price: which edition to buy

The Castlevania Belmont's Curse price splits in two: Steam charges full list, authorised resellers a quarter less. Our record says that 25% has not moved since June, and is the floor.

Hogwarts Legacy price history: where the floor really is

Our Hogwarts Legacy price history runs to 100 daily readings and a $3.99 median. Why the sub-dollar figure in search results is noise, and what to actually pay.

Enshrouded hit 1.0 today, but the Enshrouded price rose on 8 September and the key resellers have not followed. What our nine tracked sellers show, and whether to buy now.

Starfield price history: the sub-$20 window, and who set it

Our Starfield price history shows one reseller set the all-time low over five weeks in late summer 2026. What a good price looks like now, and why Game Pass comes first.

Boltgun 2 price: buy the sequel, or the cheap first game?

The Boltgun 2 price has no cheaper route on launch day — our record shows one listing, unmoved since September. The first game is the bargain, but a smaller one than it was.

Rust price: why the cheap keys vanished, and when to buy

The Rust price has two answers: an official one that barely moves, and a reseller one that sat in single digits for 95 days and then disappeared. Our record shows both.

Planet Zoo 2 price: which edition, and when it gets cheaper

Planet Zoo 2 is out today. The Planet Zoo 2 price splits two ways, the cheap pre-order keys stopped existing three weeks ago, and the original got dearer as the sequel landed.
