RiffHammer is a rhythm-driven hack-and-slash where you annihilate enemies to crushing metal beats. Wield genre-infused weapons, rage through procedurally generated dungeons or handcrafted scenarios—and import your own music if metal isn’t your thing.
RiffHammer
Steam
RiffHammer is a rhythm hack-and-slash game where every strike lands in time with the music. Stay on the beat to unleash devastating blows.
You’re not the only one bound by the music. Your enemies attack in rhythmic patterns of their own. Read these patterns and exploit their rhythm to dominate the battlefield.

Fight as a grumpy dwarf through procedurally generated dungeons and handcrafted scenarios — or defend the local tavern and its precious beer barrels against ferocious hordes. Face off against undead, orcs, demons, insectoids, and more.

Every weapon in RiffHammer comes with its own moveset, soundtrack, and beatmaps—each tailored to its unique fighting style.
Swing the Doomhammer for slow, crushing devastation. Tear through enemies with the Thrash Daggers in frantic close combat. Or shoot bolts from the Argent Impaler, if you don't like anyone in the direction you are pointing.
Want to take it further? Import your own songs and beatmaps to create your custom riffhammering experience.
