A GALAXY AT WAR
RiftArmada is a free top-down space MMO. Fly for one of three banners, cross a galaxy the Rift tore open, hunt what came through it and fight other pilots for every map in between.
FLY
Hold one button and your ship answers. Learn it in seconds, master it across a galaxy.
FIGHT
Lock on, open fire, and unleash Heat Pulse and Overdrive when the fight turns.
HUNT
Alien packs and the bosses that lead them. Help on a kill and you still get paid.
RISE
Outfly your faction, earn your way into the top hulls and put your clan’s name on the map.
THE LOOP · REPEAT UNTIL RIFT SOVEREIGN
PICK YOUR SIDE
Three banners hold the void. Whose colours will you fly?
WE HOLD THE LINE
WARDENS
The order of the inner colonies. Disciplined, military, and sworn to hold the home maps against whatever the Rift sends.

LOCK ON. OPEN FIRE.
Hold to fly, click to lock, one key to fire. Everything else is timing.
STEER
Hold left-click and your ship follows the cursor. No boost to manage, no throttle to fight.
FROM STARTER TO FLAGSHIP
Start in the NOVA-α and earn your way up the ladder to the Monarch, or fly one of the sidegrades beside it.

OWN SHIP, OWN FIT
Every ship keeps its own gear, hold and damage, with two fits to switch between.
A HANGAR, NOT A SHIP
Own several hulls and launch the one the fight calls for. Each waits in the hangar as you left it.
NEVER FLY ALONE
Drones fly beside you, carrying lasers or shield generators. Kills level them up, and they never die.
NAUTILUS
A golden manta ray that carries two. Its wings grow as it levels.

ONE WAY UP
Start at your faction’s base, fight up through your home maps, meet the other two banners on the fronts and break through The Breach.

WHERE PVP LIVES
Your faction’s maps past the first, the fronts and The Breach. The first map and The Concord stay safe.
NO FULL LOOT
A death costs part of your hold, never your gear or your ship.
A LIVE LADDER
Ranks move the moment you out-fly someone. No season to wait for.
BETTER IN A FLEET
Pilots of one faction, squad or clan never fight each other. Everything else is better with them.
CLANS
Raise your own flag: a roster, a notice board, applications, a leaderboard and alliances.
SQUADS
Share kill rewards, ping targets and call your squad when a fight goes wrong.
MISSIONS
Dailies, weeklies and contracts, the main road to Rift Crystal. Pin one to your HUD.
THE AUCTION
Hourly, daily and weekly rounds. Set your top bid and the game bids for you.
