Elysium Rift ZERO

MAY TAKE A MOMENT FOR THE GAME TO LOAD. WINDOWS VER RECOMMEND FOR HIGHER FRAME RATES.

Elysium Rift ZERO is a simple action game and a prototype of a much larger idea that I've had for a while. Hack n slash your way through rifts filled with enemies, or use your dash to escape with brief immunity!

Elysium Rift ZERO is based on a game idea I've had for a few years titled "project REBIRTH". While Elysium Rift ZERO features only one weapon with a simple attack combo and charge attack, the original idea for "project REBIRTH" is that it would feature many more weapons and more attacks each, as well as many more enemy types than found in this prototype.

The [re:helgen] subtitle refers to the game's rifts (levels). The pre-designed rifts (the tutorial and 1-5) are remade versions of an old text-based project of mine titled Dungeon Rift: Helgen. The arcade mode of this game is also based on Helgen's with a similar generation system. The original Helgen and following Rift games are turn-based dungeon crawlers, with the most recent traditional Rift game being Project R.I.F.T..
