v1.0.4 – fixing achievements, mostly

Hey Rifters! We're super thankful to all of you playing and reviewing the game. Thank you thank you thank you! It's wonderful to read through the reviews and see so many of you liking what we're doing here.

So here's a small post-release patch. Most importantly, for the completionists among you, we've fixed some bugs that prevented you from being able to 100% all the achievements.

We've also added new visuals for the mini boss 'Sentry', which you will find in Dome > Storm (second scenario).

And then we'd like to remind you again that we go through all the messages on the Steam forums, and we read every review, so if you have any suggestions: please reach out to us. Also, there's a discord where we discuss balancing, go over suggestions for challenges, etc. You can find that here: https://discord.gg/3J4JWhBCkq

The full changelog of this and future updates to the game can be found on the Steam forums here:

That's why we worked with Grizzly Games to created a bundle, to get both games at a discount, and to create a world heavily inspired by Thronefall's map Sturmklamm.

You will find a rift in Rift Riff with the name Keep, available after unlocking the Gatling tower. Enter that one! We hid a little easter egg in there for you to discover.
