Demra: Rifts of War

Hold the Line. Close the Rifts

Rifts are tearing open across the realm, and the demons of the Shattered Creed pour through. Demra: Rifts of War is a real-time strategy game in the spirit of the 90s classics: build your base, seize the mines, raise an army and lead it with a hero who fights, casts and grows stronger on the battlefield.

A Hero at the Head of your Army

Command Alistra, paladin of the light, like any of your units - or take aim yourself at any moment and put her shots and spells exactly where they are needed. Heal and smite with Holy Light, summon a Light Orb, bless your troops with her aura and bring the fallen back with Radiant Light. Level her up, collect items and potions, and spend your gold at merchants along the way.

Build, Capture, Conquer

Gold mines, sawmills, quarries and iron mines pay whoever holds them, so every map is a fight for territory. Grow your outpost into a keep and a castle, guard your mines with towers, research upgrades and choose your path - longbowmen or grenadiers? At the top of the tech tree waits an ultimate building that can turn the whole war.

Two Factions, Two Ways to Fight

The Iron Fist - disciplined and strong: militia, archers, swordsmen, priests, stone golems and catapults whose shells set enemy buildings ablaze. Their Beacon of Lumeresa sends angels to revive the fallen.

The Shattered Creed - cheap and relentless: cultists open rifts that spew imps, fiends and brutes, necromancers raise the dead, warlocks unleash chain lightning. Their World Anchor tears open a rift anywhere on the map.

A Campaign with a Story

Twelve missions lead you from the forests through the swamps into the demon world itself - with voiced briefings and characters, hand-crafted objectives and a loadout of campaign modifiers you unlock with godtears. Three difficulty levels, autosaves and checkpoints.

Skirmish and Multiplayer

Fight on maps from 1v1 to 3v3 against AI opponents with their own playstyles and difficulty, team up with AI allies who answer your map pings, or play online with friends - against each other or together against the AI. Pick the human or the demon side, add map modifiers and decide whether a match ends with the fall of the hero or of the last building.
