Welcome to Riftway Cataclysm, a war game where the impossible becomes reality. Technology, magic collide in fantastical genre-blending battles. You have the power to create the army of your dreams and embark on your own epic journey of carnage and conquest.

Riftway Cataclysm combines the excitement of real-time strategy games with innovative gameplay mechanics to play out Platoon level combined arms conflicts. Players take turns activating units, leading to a constantly evolving battlefield. Attacking takes time, allowing your opponent to react and defend. You have a vast array of counterplay options, but limited resources to do so, requiring you to think on your feet and outsmart your opponent.

Choose your commander, assemble your forces, and lead your army to glory. The stage is set, the battle is about to begin. Are you ready to conquer the universe?
