Rift Rangers, the bullet-heaven Power Rangers (or Sentai if you prefer) inspired RPG is out now on PC via Steam and Epic Games Store

From Press Release:

May 24th, 2023, Vancouver, BC — Developer Epic Story Interactive has declared war on “The Master Brain” with today’s launch of Rift Rangers on Steam and the Epic Game Store!

During the five-month early-access period, Rift Rangers after positive community feedback, the development team added features and expanded content to provide a more authentic tokusatsu experience. With the official launch of Rift Rangers, players can eagerly anticipate a host of updates, unlockables, and captivating additions, including a brand-new level, a new Ranger, formidable enemies, powerful weapons, enhanced interface, engaging game modes, increased language support, and much more!

As part of the update, players will fight evil in the streets on Electric Avenue, where even seemingly innocuous cars are hazardous not only to the Rangers but to the invading monsters as well. Don’t worry, that’s not the only surprise in store.

Fresh from the local gym and juice bar comes additional reinforcements; what would any Sentai squad be without the classic enigmatic Green Ranger? A bit of a lone wolf, and firm a believer in “The best defense is an even bigger defense!”, Green has the power to immediately create a defensive perimeter of RiftTech weaponry, making them a formidable bulwark against the forces of darkness.

The rabid razor-clawed monstrosities pouring through the dimensional rift are also getting new allies: the Mech Witch and Titanic Brute, recently drafted into The Master Brain’s forces from the darkest dimensions in the multiverse, they are intent on annihilating the Rift Rangers from the cosmos once and for all!

About Rift Rangers
Become an unstoppable force or suffer crushing defeat! Rift Rangers is rogue-lite, sentai-heavy, and bullet-heaven. Obliterate inter-dimensional hordes, upgrade fast, and try to survive until your Mega Mecha can secure the rift and save humanity!

Drawing inspiration from the Japanese tokusatsu entertainment style, Rift Rangers encapsulates the essence of the beloved sentai sub-genre, featuring vibrant costumes, delightfully cheesy lines, comically evil monsters, and awe-inspiring adventures.

As players progress through challenging levels and face relentless enemy swarms, they’ll encounter randomized upgrade options, ensuring every run feels unique. Embracing the “die, learn, retry” mantra, players can learn from their failures and restart with newfound knowledge. To enhance future attempts, energy chips collected in previous playthroughs can be used to buy permanent upgrades between runs, aiding in their quest for victory.

Known for developing hit mobile games for globally recognized brands like Beyblade, Slugterra, and Ben 10, the team at Epic Story Interactive have a knack for designing engaging gameplay experiences with intuitive controls and enjoyable reward systems. Player feedback is integral to the process and used to hone the gameplay to suit them.

We pay careful attention to all feedback offered from internal playtests and end users. We want to know what works and what doesn’t,” said Dennis Leong, Chief Operating Officer and Co-Founder of Epic Story Interactive. “Of course, the launch isn’t the end run as we have a ton of ideas for future updates, and we’re going to continue incorporating player feedback as we make sure Rift Rangers continues to be their game.

Game Features:

  • The Rangers are going rogue-lite; that means no saves, no extra lives. Randomized power-ups mean that every mission will require a different strategy.
