Rift Hound

THE DEVLIN SYSTEM IS UNDER SIEGE. A ruthless corporate swarm has invaded the riftlines, and only one squadron stands between freedom and total takeover — the Rift Hounds. Suit up as the newest pilot aboard the legendary Rift Hound flagship and soar into explosive 3D dogfights across burning nebulae, jungle skies, crystal drifters, and rift-torn battlefields. Command your Eswing or Tri-Fin Starfighter, team up with six unforgettable anthro aces, and take on wave after wave of deadly Stingrunner interceptors. Unleash riftslides, outmaneuver the swarm, and protect the Devlin System at all costs. The galaxy’s last line of defense… is YOU. ——— 4.2/10 — “Too Many Furries, Not Enough Frames.” “Rift Hound tries to be Starfox 64’s cool cousin, but it’s more like the weird neighbor who talks about engines for too long. The dogfights are flashy, but the N64 chokes harder than Fin trying to say ‘riftslide micro-jump maneuver’ three times fast. Also, the otter won’t stop talking. Ever.” — GameSlump Monthly 5/10 — “We Respect the Effort, But… Why Is Everyone Hot?” “Rift Hound delivers decent space combat, but every pilot looks like they escaped from an anime calendar. Our biggest issue? Piper’s missile system glitched and destroyed half the tutorial. The manual also claims Brutus’s ship can ‘tank anything,’ which turned out to be completely true and kind of terrifying.” — Poly Power '98 9/10 — “Finally, an N64 Game With Style AND Heart.” “Rift Hound is the sleeper hit of the year. Fluid combat, gorgeous anime-style cutscenes, and a lovable squad of misfit pilots make this feel like a lost classic. Red is the MVP, Tabs is terrifyingly cool, and Rocko is the himbo hero we never knew we needed. Bonus points for the mysterious player pilot who somehow outflies everyone.” — Ultra64 Universe
