RIFTWARD: Tower Defense

Build your defense. Lead your hero. Combine towers, explore new battlefields and take on the rift solo or in 2–4-player Game Center co-op.

One more wave. One smarter defense.

RIFTWARD combines tower defense strategy, expanding battlefields and a hero you can make your own.

CHOOSE YOUR WAY TO DEFEND Play Classic Defense to focus on building while defeated enemies award gold automatically. Choose Hero Defense to move your hero, collect dropped gold and fight alongside your towers.

BUILD, UPGRADE AND COMBINE Start with Arrow, Cannon, Arcane and Frost. Counter different enemies with piercing shots, explosions, magic and slows. Specialize your towers, develop their power and combine eligible towers into hybrid defenses. Unlock advanced blueprints for Hero Defense with Stars.

HOLD A GROWING BATTLEFIELD Rift Rush gives you 30 seconds to prepare before waves arrive automatically. In solo Rush, clear waves 10 and 20 to open new territory without moving your towers. Choose Practice for planning time between waves.

Explore 30 Rift Realms across six chapters and six World Fronts, including New York and Singapore’s Merlion waterfront.

DEFEND TOGETHER Invite friends through Game Center for 2–4-player Hero Defense. Each player controls a hero while the team shares gold and lives. Larger parties face more enemies, faster spawns and earlier gates. Co-op runs at 1x speed and keeps separate team records.

MAKE YOUR HERO YOURS Customize your hero’s face, hair, clothes and accessories. Earn Stars through solo Hero Defense victories to unlock advanced blueprints, outfits, tower finishes and cosmetic mounts. Share hero-and-achievement cards and challenge codes.

KEEP FINDING A NEW CHALLENGE Choose Casual, Normal or Hard, or try one-life endless Chaos. Adjust solo gameplay speed from 1x to 15x, pause and resume a saved solo run, or take on the daily challenge.

START FREE The first five campaign realms and Merlion Guard are free. An optional one-time Full Game purchase adds the remaining 25 Rift Realms and five World Fronts. Campaign progression is still earned through play.

Optional consumable Star packs are also available. There is no subscription and no advertising.

Solo play works offline and needs no RIFTWARD account. Online co-op requires Game Center and an internet connection. Purchased Stars require iCloud and a connection.

Game progress, earned Stars and records stay on your device. Unspent purchased Stars and unlocks bought with them can be recovered through the same iCloud account.
