addedThe portals open todayRift Miner launches on Steam today at 18:00 CEST. Today is the day. Rift Miner is a fast first-person mining roguelite built around speed, risk, and build synergies. You enter Rifts through portals, mine against the clock, secure your haul, and turn every successful run into permanent progression, new options, and even stronger builds. What starts small quickly turns into a pull of decisions, efficiency, and escalation. You optimize your route, shape your drill, combine Echo Cards, and push every run for more. And once you are far enough in, you can keep going for higher risk and bigger rewards.
