Phantom Gamelabs Unveils Looter Shooter Riftbusters

It offers a welcoming introduction to the looter shooter genre
Featuring an appealing cartoon art style, this is a title worth keeping an eye on

Finnish developer Phantom Gamelabs has announced that its action RPG, Riftbusters, will release worldwide for iOS and Android on September 3rd, with pre-registration now open. Following an open beta last year, anticipation for the game is already building.

It's easy to see the appeal. Looter shooters have become hugely popular for good reason. The endless hunt for superior weapons and equipment resonates with many players. Even a minor upgrade to your loadout can deliver a rewarding sense of progress.

If that sounds like your kind of game, Riftbusters delivers it in a compact format. Instead of a complex, full-scale experience, Phantom Gamelabs aims for a more approachable take on the genre, streamlining some of its typically intricate systems. While purists might view this as a drawback, the simplified mechanics make it an ideal starting point—especially on mobile, where shorter, casual play sessions are the norm.

Mo.co: Rising

Beyond the general description of being "accessible," Riftbusters delivers the core experience you'd anticipate. You'll team up with other players to battle hordes of alien creatures using an array of weapons and abilities. Between fights, you can upgrade your gear, unlock new skills, and refine your preferred playstyle.

As shown in the trailer, the game features a colorful, cartoon-inspired visual style reminiscent of Fortnite. It also brings to mind titles like Mo.co, which occupies a similar niche. Riftbusters will certainly face stiff competition, especially with the upcoming release of Destiny: Rising.

Riftbusters arrives globally on the App Store and Google Play on September 3rd. If you're interested, you can pre-register for your preferred platform using the links below.
