Riftborne

Riftborne is a sci-fi grand strategy game where you build an interstellar power from a single base. You colonize worlds, construct fleets, organize supply lines, manipulate markets, train spies, raid rivals and expand your influence across a galaxy that develops in real time. Campaigns can last days, weeks or months, as small decisions compound: supply problems can become military crises, minor rivals can grow into major powers, and prepared plans can reshape the galaxy.

Build your empire

You manage production, storage and logistics across multiple colonies, establish trade routes and resource shipments, develop specialized worlds and maintain defensive networks. Your economy must be ready to withstand prolonged wars, and military strength is only one part of running a successful empire.

Use information and influence

You can send spies to gather intelligence, sabotage rivals and expose enemy weaknesses. Hire galactic operatives, negotiate with other powers or apply economic pressure when direct conflict would cost too much. Markets, contracts and multiple economic playstyles offer ways to pursue your goals beyond military force.

A changing galaxy

Procedurally generated galaxies give each campaign different strategic geography. Enemy powers adapt to your behavior, including patterns from previous saves, while alliances, rivalries and economic dependencies develop over time. Campaign histories, rankings, medals and long-term progression record what happens in the galaxy.

Campaigns and multiplayer

You can play a solo campaign at your own pace, host a private server locally, online or through SSH, or join regularly scheduled official multiplayer galaxies. Official multiplayer supports up to 120 commanders competing in the same persistent universe.
