Elemensional Rift is out for early access play!

There have been many who have been waiting for this point for years but it has finally arrived.  The gates are now open for early access for people to finally play at home instead of the many events Elemensional Rift has been at over the past years.

Why early access?

The games in the fighting game genre have a lot of weight on the balance of the roster.  In addition, the story is still in development and other essential content before reaching a proper completion status.  Influencers and media have both been asking and with the convention season around the corner to provide boosts along the way and a lack of the immediate competition in the platform brawler subgenre, the timing is perfect for approaching at this time.

What is ready now?

• All 8 fighters of the base roster are available.
• There are 6 additional fighters that can be unlocked through various means of gameplay that will challenge the player and become unlocked if beaten.
• 6 stages are available now, each with an arena mode and battlefield mode to let players play with the preference that they desire.
• Arcade mode with individual stories for each fighter
• Survival mode for the players who want a tough challenge
• Boss Rush has 2 different bosses available (you must beat the first one to unlock the second one)
• 6 different game modes available for freeplay (do note you need a second player to fight against to start free play battles.  You can turn a second participant into AI with the status bar above the character selection.  Team modes and Bounty require a minimum of 3 participants)
• 22 different items to use in battle
• 11 different helpers that can be summoned through the Helper's Horn item that each bring unique effects to battle and represent some great content creators.
• Nearly 200 figurines to collect

What is next on the to-do list?

These are not listed in planned order but merely listing of tasks that will come.

• Balance adjustments based on the incoming feedback from opening early access
• The mysterious 15th fighter
• Selphieroth's Shrine (stage)
