Axial Rift

About the Game

Axial Rift combines isometric adventure with side scrolling platforming and combat in unprecedented ways! Slice the voxel game world in any direction at any time to convert the isometric view to side scrolling sections.

Full fledged side scrolling combat - Precision platforming, wall jumping, nimble movement, combos, dash attacks, aerial combat, and special abilities!

Discover Secrets - If you find a passageway that is obscured by the overhead perspective, slice the game world in the right way to uncover a hidden area!

Explore Environments - Navigate mazes, find switches and unlock doors

Have you ever wanted to directly attack enemies in the background in 2.5D side scroller games? Now you can, just switch the perspective angle!

Boss encounters require switching between overhead and side scrolling perspectives to adapt to attacks coming from any direction. Balance the strengths and weaknesses of each perspective for each situation to achieve victory!

Can't judge the platform in isometric view?  No problem!  You’ll never want to be locked down to a single perspective again!

This game is powered by the Rift Forge Engine, custom built from the ground up and optimized for this voxel perspective change mechanic.  It is tuned to run at high details with raytracing at high frame rates, even on budget iGPU hardware.
