Confiction Labs has officially launched the alpha playtest for Riftstorm, a highly anticipated game that invites players to delve into the mythic universe of the Mythic Protocol.
The playtest, available as a free demo until October 30th, has clinched the top charts in the most downloaded free games section, signaling a solid start.
The current alpha introduces several major updates that promise to redefine the player experience. Among these, the newly revamped Dungeon System 2.0 stands out, offering a more flexible map design and interactive environments.
In addition to environmental upgrades, Confiction Labs has overhauled the tutorial to offer a deeper narrative integration, ensuring players are fully immersed in their roles within the Mythic Protocol. This organization, tasked with protecting humanity from cosmic threats, introduces players to a world of eldritch forces equipped with unique skills and advanced weaponry.
Personalized Interaction through the Assignment Dashboard
A notable innovation in Riftstorm is the Assignment Dashboard, a feature that allows players to manage tasks and track their progress in real time. This tool focuses on three key areas: Proof of Humanity, Proof of Exposure, and Proof of Network. Each contributes to a player’s Clearance Score, which helps unlock new levels and exclusive content.
For example, the Proof of Humanity component rewards players for sharing personal milestones and real-life experiences, enhancing their standing within the community. Similarly, Proof of Exposure and Proof of Network encourages players to promote the game and refer friends, boosting their overall game influence and rewards.
Looking ahead, September marked a significant milestone as Confiction Labs partnered with blockchain company Xai to integrate Web3 technologies into Riftstorm. This collaboration aims to introduce features like NFT ownership and trading, allowing players to own exclusive in-game items and skins.
As Riftstorm nears its official release, the focus remains on community building and cross-platform compatibility, allowing players to access the game on PC, mobile, and console. This alpha playtest is pivotal for refining core mechanics, gathering community feedback, and ensuring the final product meets player expectations.
