What is Crystal Rift?

Crystal Rift is a dungeon crawler virtual reality game developed and published by Psytec Games Ltd in 2016. It is compatible with the Oculus Rift, HTC Vive, and other SteamVR headsets.

In Crystal Rift, players explore grid-based dungeons from a first-person perspective, battling monsters and solving environmental puzzles along the way. The dungeons have a psychedelic, arcade aesthetic with bright neon colors and trippy backgrounds. The graphics are voxel-based and have a distinctly retro style.

Gameplay involves moving from node to node within the dungeon grids, finding keys to open gates to progress deeper while searching for the exit. Players fight monsters by swinging weapons and can collect power-ups like increased damage and healing abilities. Traps, hidden doors, and secrets throughout the dungeons add challenge.

The game includes over 10 hours of gameplay with 35 unique dungeon designs across 5 themed zones. It also features 4 boss fights as climactic events. The pacing starts slower but ramps up in intensity with more difficult dungeons.

Crystal Rift can be played with either teleportation-based movement or smooth locomotion and turning. The game was designed around room-scale and standing VR but also works seated. It utilizes motion controls on VR devices.

Reviews praised Crystal Rift's psychedelic voxel art style and tense dungeon crawling gameplay. Some technical issues were present at launch but have since been patched. Overall it provides an accessible throwback VR experience for fans of classic dungeon crawlers.
