Hold a ruined arena against the rift. Every wave makes you stronger, until the Riftwarden comes.
Riftbound: Endless Arena is a dark fantasy action roguelite you play right in your
browser. You are the Guardian, a templar knight standing between a crumbling ruin and the
violet portals that pour out the hollow dead. Fight with arcane bolts, a shield-shattering
Aegis Pulse and a quick dash, and you're in combat within seconds.
Grow stronger every run. Collect experience from fallen enemies and choose one of
three upgrades each level: split bolts, piercing runes, critical focus, stoneskin, faster
casting and more. Twelve upgrades stack into a different build every run.
Learn every threat. Each wave adds something new. Hollow Husks lunge at close range,
Riftcasters gather and hurl void orbs from a distance, and Shardback Brutes charge in a
line. Make them miss and they crash into the pillars. Every attack is telegraphed, so
skill decides the fight.
Break the Warden. On wave 5 the Riftwarden rises: novas, ground slams, charges and
summoned husks. It gets angrier at half health, and it comes back every fifth wave.
Keep your progress. Earn Rift Shards from every run and spend them in the Armory on
permanent boons that carry into your next attempt. Your progress syncs to your Wavedash
account.
Climb the leaderboards. Every run is ranked worldwide by score and by deepest wave.
A run lasts about 10 to 15 minutes. The waves are endless, so see how deep you can go.
