RIVE

Space scavenger Roughshot is trapped aboard a mysterious starship and must form an unlikely alliance. You control his spider tank as he fights through the ship and its surrounding environments.

Move, jump, and shoot in any direction through side-scrolling combat and platforming sections. Use different weapons and hack enemy machines—including turrets and drones—to turn them to your side.

Collect materials to upgrade the tank's special attacks, armor, and loot magnet. Alongside the campaign, play Speedrun and Single-Credit modes, daily Challenges, and Battle Arenas, with leaderboards to compare scores.

Players who enjoy RIVE often praise its fast, chaotic arcade combat, responsive-feeling controls, and blend of shooting with platforming. Reviews also call out the robot-hacking mechanic, striking visuals, and satisfying challenge. Others find the difficulty punishing, with deaths and repeated sections becoming frustrating; some also report that hazards can be hard to read or that a mission-four progression bug blocks them.
