About Repel The Rifts
Repel The Rifts is a roguelite tower‑defense title where you lead a mining expedition on an alien world. Waves of inter‑dimensional creatures emerge from mysterious rifts, and you must hold the line each night. The game emphasizes exploration, tower upgrades, artifact collection, and commander variety. After surviving twenty‑five nights you can test your setup in an Endless mode that pushes your defenses to their limits.

Survey the Unknown
Exploring the map expands the playable area, revealing new terrain that can affect tower placement. Different geography may benefit certain towers, so scouting is strategic. Each expedition adds fresh ground to defend, encouraging players to balance expansion with immediate defense needs.
- Consider expanding toward regions that match your tower strengths.
- Use early exploration to plan future tower layouts.

Tower Upgrades
A market lets you purchase upgrades that strengthen towers and can grant new effects. Upgrades enable varied combinations, shaping each expedition’s strategy. Choosing upgrades that complement your commander’s starting towers can create powerful synergies.
- Compare upgrade costs against expected wave difficulty.
- Mix defensive and offensive upgrades for balanced play.

Alien Artifacts
Powerful artifacts can be collected to augment your defenses. The right artifact mix can elevate tower performance beyond standard upgrades. Experimenting with artifact combinations adds depth to each run’s tactical options.
- Test artifact effects on a single tower before widespread use.
- Pair artifacts with upgrades that share similar bonuses.

Commander Selection
Multiple commanders are available, each starting with three unique towers, abilities, and a passive trait. This variety supports distinct play styles. Mastering each commander reveals different strategic pathways and tower interactions.
- Try each commander to discover which aligns with your preferred tactics.
- Align commander passives with tower upgrade choices.

Endless Mode
After surviving twenty‑five nights, the game unlocks an Endless mode where waves continue indefinitely, testing the durability of your setup. Endless mode serves as a benchmark for how far your tower combinations can hold under relentless pressure.
- Use Endless runs to gauge the effectiveness of new upgrade paths.
- Observe which towers survive longest for future planning.
