What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
RiftGuard, developed and published by Artur Rezende, is a roguelike survival game that builds its identity around a blend of automated combat and player-driven decision-making. Set in a dark fantasy world overrun by relentless enemy forces, the game challenges players to endure increasingly intense waves while shaping their character through upgrades and resource choices. It’s a design that favors strategy over direct control, creating an experience that feels more about planning and adaptation than mechanical execution. The core gameplay loop revolves around surviving as long as possible while your character automatically attacks nearby enemies. Instead of focusing on aiming or timing attacks, players are tasked with managing movement, positioning, and, most importantly, selecting upgrades that define their build. This shift in focus gives the game a distinct rhythm, where success depends on how well you can anticipate threats and optimize your abilities over time. Each run becomes a balancing act between offense and survivability, as players choose between enhancing damage output, improving defensive options, or investing in utility skills that provide long-term benefits.

Decent time killer
Honestly, its a pretty fun Auto Battler to kill time, it has so much potential. But i do have to say that at the current state of the game it feel too bare bone and does not feel like it should even be released yet as so many feature felt missing and unpolished. Couple of these example are how there is no pause, no settings on the main menu, no auto attacking toggle, auto dialogue skip (for the dialogue you get everytime to start a new run and have to skip everytime) and, no keybinding. here's a couple things to add/improve on : - Add all the setting options missing above - Add pause screen - Add more weaponry upgrades - Helper character purchase should be placed on a separate shop menu in the main menu screen - Add tiers of upgrade helper characters in the shop - Keybinding for manually activating the super attack you get from the helper character instead of being binded to the basic attack/automatically activating - Fix a bug with Steam Achievement. It seems like no one is getting them even tho they should here's also a few more reccomendation on some more new features ideas : - Bestiary for the enemies - Character outfit customization shop - Different stage phases to increase …
Every run is a fresh play with no long term progression mechanic. Also just pressing escape which would normally just bring up a menu will just kill your run. It's close but it's a pass in its present form.
