Out now on Android
- Rift Raider Extraction is the new neon-soaked shooter from Mystic Realm Games
- Formed by ex-Treyarch developers, it features fast-paced shooting mechanics
- Created in seven weeks, it's an undoubtedly interesting take on the format
It's a tough world out there for game developers at the moment. I know, understatement of the century, but some are still struggling through with exciting new releases. This includes Brian Douglas, a former Call of Duty developer and his team. After months without much in the way of interest, they've decided to bring their latest pitch to mobile with Rift Raider Extraction!
Available now on Android, Rift Raider Extraction is a neon-soaked third-person shooter where you, well, blast your way through rifts and then extract. It's a bit light on plot, but considering it was put together in seven weeks, it's got an undeniably impressive amount of gameplay to offer.
The way it's described by the folks at Mystic Realm Games is as 'Minecraft + Extraction Shooter + Geometry Wars,' which is certainly an eclectic mix of inspirations if nothing else. And it's certainly got all the colour to go with it.
Rifts apart
In case you hadn't guessed, Rift Raider Extraction is a bit of a tricky beast to explore. It definitely has the feel of something put together out of a mixture of frustration and inspiration, and at a time when the turnaround for games can be years, the fact that it was made in seven weeks is impressive.As for whether it'll make a mark? I'm not sure. But as far as proof of concept goes, Mystic Realm Games may be onto a winner here, as it shows a very interesting take on the extraction shooter formula. Which will hopefully showcase the developer's talents and chops making these sorts of games.
