Evaluation

RIG Riot launched on September 14, 2026, developed solo by Sage Boatman. Just four days after launch, on September 18, 2026, the developer posted a detailed "What's Next for RIG Riot?" update outlining both near-term and long-term plans. In the near term, the developer intends to address objective variety, difficulty and balance, and inventory/UI improvements. For the longer term, the developer explicitly mentioned investigating co-op multiplayer, localizing the game into additional languages, adding new game modes, and implementing Steam Workshop support. The developer also confirmed the game's commercial success has allowed them to transition to full-time game development, giving them more capacity to pursue these more ambitious updates. The game has been receiving active post-launch patches — bug fix and feature updates were posted on September 15 and September 17, 2026. All of this points to a developer who is actively engaged and has clearly communicated that more content is on the way.

About this game

RIG Riot is a roguelike third-person mech-action shooter. Fight increasingly difficult enemies while completing objectives, level up, and choose the Weapons and Volatile Mods that will let you return from your raids victorious. Discover thousands of permanent parts, and build a RIG unlike any other.

Exciting Combat

Combat can feel quite different depending on the style of RIG you build. Do you prefer a light and mobile mech that bombards their foes from range with a trusty sniper? How about a well-rounded powerhouse who focuses on bringing the pain with missile bombardments and automatic rifles? Or maybe you prefer a tanky build that barrels through all opposition with laser blades and shotguns? Put together your build and then prepare for fast-paced combat against a wide array of enemies.

Deep Customization

In RIG Riot, every loss is an opportunity. Dive into the garage and check out the exciting new parts you've earned. Every part in RIG Riot is made out of a combination of components from the various full sets available in the game. There are an incredible amount of parts to find- which will you use?
