Feel the Power of the Rift

As a Riftblade, you are blessed with a unique connection to five aspects of arcane and powerful magic. Master the ebb and flow of The Rift as you empower and overcharge your spells, acquire new spells and techniques, and grow to become a mighty, battle-hardened mage.

Every turn in Riftblade is a fast-paced, puzzle-solving thrill as you marshal your spells and Riftstones to create a single, powerful chaining attack, proving your mastery and conquering your foes!

Weave. Strike. Adapt.

How to Play Riftblade

Riftblade brings bold, innovative twists to the highly popular genre of deckbuilding card battlers, where every turn is a chance for tactical decision-making and powerful combos.

Build Your Magical Attack

Chain your spell cards together through common Aspects, empowering and overcharging each spell with your Riftstones as you cast your magical attack.

Riftblade’s unique resource system and action-packed turns keep the game flowing and everyone engaged.

In the heat of battle, you only have time for one attack each round and your resources dwindle with each new spell added to your chain; how far will you push your hand before you are spent?

Control the Rift

Channel new spells from The Rift to create an unstoppable spell book, or trigger them for instant effect!

Riftblade’s adaptive spellcasting system creates compelling and interesting choices all game, every game. Master the tempo of play and control The Rift to stymie your opponent to seize ultimate victory!

Battle on your Table and Mobile Device

Want to play Riftblade on the go? Eager to see how you rank against Riftblade players from across the globe? Looking for new challenges and unique gameplay that can only be achieved digitally? We've got you covered with a simultaneous mobile version, launching in the very same campaign as the tabletop edition.

Backers will receive exclusive early access to Riftblade Digital before its global release, putting them one step ahead of the competition!

Honed to a Knife's Edge

With hundreds of public playtests and thousands of simulations, every element of Riftblade has been balanced and tested to ensure a thrilling game every time you play.

Gorgeous Fantasy Art

Hand-illustrated characters, spells, creatures, and effects immerse you in Riftblade's vibrant, deeply realized fantasy world.

A Game That Grows With You

Riftblade teaches and plays quickly, while offering a satisfying strategic experience with over 130 cards in the core box alone. 

Once you've mastered the art of the head-to-head duel, explore the nuances of the game's unique 4-player team mêlée: cast into a shared combo each turn, deciding which opponent to target... and thereby empower.

Want to delve even deeper? With two expansions available at launch, years of planned quarterly releases, community events and tournaments, and more, you'll be discovering new combos and slinging spells for years to come.
