Hi all!
We just updated the game to v1.03 with the following changes:
New mode
Skywhale Survivor is the first challenge in the new Special Missions mode we've added. Battle an infinite torrent of Super Skywhales while avoiding magma waves... until your inevitable demise! Can you top the Leaderboards? (Hit Follow in the Community Hub to get access.)
New achievement
Channel your inner Chuck Norris and survive for three minutes in the new Special Mission.
New language
RIVE can now be played in Japanese as well. We can't read it, but it looks really cool!
Han Solo has the proper beard
You know what we mean when you get there...
Fixes and tweaks
We're constantly tweaking the game based on your feedback and the in-game statistics (if you let us, of course). Thanks everyone!
Enjoy!!!
The Two Tribes Peeps
RIVE is the metal wrecking, robot hacking shooter you've been waiting for! This 360-degree shooter/platformer hybrid lets you choreograph a ‘dance of destruction’ in insanely spectacular battles and set-pieces. RIVE feels like the explosive games of yore, pumping megapixels in true 21st century style.
Endless variety: fight on land, underwater, in zero gravity or on a moving train!
Gather hacks and control your enemies.
Upgrade your spider tank's special attacks, armor and loot magnet.
A 6+ hour campaign, voiced by Mark Dodson (Star Wars & Gremlins).
A deep story featuring our hero Roughshot, robot butlers, space loot and... clean teeth.
Prove your mettle in the extra Speedrun and Single-Credit modes.
Dozens of on-line leaderboards to compete in.
About hacking:
Ever dreamed of controlling your enemies? In RIVE you can. Find the hacks and get those gun turrets, nurse drones and irritable smashbots on your side. Or kickstart and hitch a ride on top of a bullet train!
About the story:
When space scavenger Roughshot gets trapped on a mysterious starship, he has to form a surprising alliance. Don't care about the story? Just shoot the messenger. Literally.
