I really enjoy the game and really appreciate that you get a free trial. My main criticism would be that the UI needs a confirmation button when you go to buy something. It’s a a bit frustrating buying or placing the wrong tower because you confused the symbol or forgot which one it was. Otherwise though, a fun game.

Rift Riff has a lot to offer even before you’re required to purchase the full product. The design and gameplay are intriguing and addictive in a good way—it actually makes you think rather than mindlessly play. Each level feels unique, and you really have to figure out which towers work best to clear it completely.As other reviews have mentioned, it can be a bit confusing at times since the game expects you to figure things out on your own, which might not suit everyone. Hopefully, an optional help or guidance feature (that can be enabled or disabled) could be added in the future. I’m still playing and definitely hoping to see more levels added.

Gameplay is perfect balance of strategy and tower defense. Music and UI are great. But if I had to point out a single trait that really pushed this game over the edge, it would be the way the developers monetized. Instead of ruining a great game with constant up cells or ads they allow you free rain in the first 25% of the game and then offer the rest of the game at a reasonable price. I don’t think I’ve ever decided to pay for a game any quicker than I did for this game. I absolutely recommend you downloading and try and get yourself. Kudos to the game creators. This is a good one!!

Movement and tower building feels clean. Enemy waves hit fast so it goes from calculated to frantic fast which is fun. I really like the contrast between downtime and action. Sad it sits at 3.8 review score. The whole world is tired of micro transactions but when a developer gives a free trial with an option to own forever; people give negative reviews to a solid game... This is why we don't have nice things, Earth.
