Rift Core

There was a lot of speculation when these things first appeared. What are they? Why did they come to this planet?

Well, kid, I don't really care. All that matters is we're the only ones left standing who can stop them. Now let's bring the thunder!

Rift Core is a real-time battle arena that mixes tactical gameplay with quick strategic thinking. Put your skills to the test as you lead Thunder Brigade to victory... or to their last stand.
