Open world top-down tactical shooter for Windows, Mac and Linux

Hey there runners!

RUNNING WITH RIFLES has just gone golden! We have officially left Early Access, and we wholeheartedly thank all the alpha and beta phase players for the past 4 years. We received a lot of encouraging feedback and great suggestions that helped us make RWR into what it is today, unlocking a wealth of potential that was in there since the very early days.

RWR is now available in Steam with a 15% discount at price of 12.74$ / 12.74€, so go grab your copy now! Don’t forget to try the demo first!

See you on the servers!

Hey there runners!

Beta 0.99.9 was released during the weekend, and with it we wiped the Official Invasion and Dominance server player profiles as promised – yay, everyone got to start from Private again! Was both funny and great to watch 40 players, old and new, fight through the maps without any of the high impact equipment for a change.

We also transformed the main menu background map into something more of a playground, hoping it’ll help newcomers to experiment with some of the mechanics and keys to make it easier to get started with the game.

Being practically 3 days away from launch (April 2nd!), the demo has been updated to 0.99.9 as well featuring single player quickmatches in Keepsake Bay map. Download demo in Steam or directly from the demo page.

See the rest of the change log on the forum.

Next up the new trailer!

Hey runners!

After 4 years of intense development with the last 12 months on Steam Early Access, Modulaatio Games is proud to announce the 1.0 release date for RUNNING WITH RIFLES.

Next week we’ll release our last beta version 0.99.9 (wanna bet on 0.99.9.1? ) and on April 2nd 2015, RWR 1.0 will be released in Steam and Desura!

Today we are also introducing the new cover art for the game, in an attempt to prevent any further confusion of the game being a 2D sidescroller for children

IMPORTANT: For the next release we’ll perform global profile resets on the official Invasion servers, which means that your profile will still exist but you’ll loose your XP/RP and stashed items. This means that you have 1 week to burn your RP and use your stashed rares
