The first public demo of RIFTSTORM is now available for download during the Steam Next Fest, giving players their initial opportunity to step into a world of secret organizations, ancient myths, and interdimensional warfare. Developed by Confiction Labs and Agate, this looter-shooter roguelite puts players in the role of Weavers, elite operatives tasked with closing dangerous rifts and facing mythic threats in fast-paced, ever-changing missions.

The demo introduces four fully-unlocked Weavers, each at level 30, allowing players to explore the game’s full potential from the start. With four curated missions available, the experience includes two classic dungeon runs for loot, a survival-extraction challenge called Operation 1411 that leans into chaotic tower defense mechanics, and the climactic Operation Marble Obelisk, a mission designed to push players’ skills and gear to the limit.

Designed with content creators in mind, the game offers visual flair and mechanical depth from the very first mission. Whether streamed, recorded, or analyzed, each run offers fresh scenarios thanks to procedural design and layered progression systems. The developers emphasize that there’s no final mission, content will continue to evolve.

Players can take on these challenges solo or team up in three-player co-op, where coordination becomes crucial as each run introduces unpredictable combinations of enemies and objectives. The demo also features a streamlined version of the game’s loadout and Periapt systems, making it easier for newcomers to dive in.
