How it plays
How does Chasm: The Rift play?
The game uses a first-person perspective. The objective is to move through hostile stages, locate key items and switches, survive ambushes, and defeat end-of-level bosses. Levels contain corridors, rooms, outdoor areas, secrets, hazards, and passages that may require backtracking.
Players begin with limited equipment and expand their arsenal by finding weapons and ammunition. Combat includes conventional firearms, explosive weapons, and the blade, which can target vulnerable body parts on suitable enemies. Progression is level-based, with new areas and encounters introduced as the campaign advances.
Plan your run
What is the best way to play Chasm: The Rift?
Conserve ammunition for durable enemies and bosses, and search side rooms for weapons, armor, and supplies. Use the environment to create distance from fast enemies rather than fighting every target at close range.
The blade is especially useful when an enemy’s exposed body part can be severed. Learn each stage’s ambush locations, check corners before advancing, and save powerful ammunition for encounters where ordinary weapons are inefficient.

Before you begin
What should you know before playing?
- 1
Explore beyond the main route because supplies and secrets are often placed in side areas.
- 2
Keep moving during larger fights; standing still makes the player vulnerable to projectile attacks.
- 3
Use the blade selectively against enemies with vulnerable limbs.
