Despite the depth of it's mechanics, the game does a wonderful job of tutorializing and slowly feeding them to you.
Difficulty

The difficulty curve is pretty smooth as well, so as soon as your thumbs are getting sore a new toy will be introduced that you will want to play with.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.

I should make a note of the soundtrack, it fits the game very well and it tends to speed up or slow down depending on circumstances (ahh and the songs are very good).
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.

So, the best way I can give a comparison for Rifter is that it's like a combination of N or N+ and Speedrunners with the addition of a story worth investing in.

Music is good, graphics are clean, and when you get the hang of it, it just works.
Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.

I highly recommend a controller and the twin-stick control scheme for the independent aim it provides.
