In the fantasy world of Telara, you play an Ascended tasked with defending the land from invaders from the elemental Planes. Choose a faction and create a character for a world built around quests, exploration, and multiplayer adventure.
Rifts can open across the world and unleash enemies, sparking invasions and events that players can tackle together. You can quest and explore on your own, join open-world battles, or take on other players in PvP.
Build your character by combining three Soul skill trees, then change your specialization outside combat to suit different roles and playstyles. Level up, collect and craft gear, customize its appearance, and join dungeons and raids for groups of 2, 5, 10, or 20 players.
Players who enjoy RIFT often praise the freedom to combine Soul skill trees and experiment with different builds, along with sudden rift events that bring players together for open-world battles. Reviews also highlight the amount of questing and group content, and some returning or newer players enjoy it as a relaxed solo MMO. These positive impressions sit alongside frequent concerns about low player numbers, limited ongoing updates, and the game's store and account systems.
