Rise Of The Third Power

This system avoids the tedium of inventory management, while also giving the completionist something useful to hunt for. He saw his king as a coward for surrendering, and a traitor for submitting to the Treaty of Evenheart. Experience this fusion of East and West, old and new, in a game meant to surpass Stegosoft Games' previous work in every way! The Arkadyan Empire shows no signs of curbing its aggression. Thus far, his gambit has proven successful. The conflict rocked the world, leaving half a generation of men and women lying dead on the battlefield. STORY DRIVEN - Join a party of eight, each with their own unique ambitions, perspectives and personalities as they embark upon a suicide mission to topple the Arkadyan emperor, Dimitri Noraskov. They supported him as he reclaimed the lands that had been stripped of them. But there are those that believe it can yet be stopped... 1587, 2A - 15 years have passed since the guns of the Great War at last fell silent. PERSISTENT EQUIPMENT - Each piece of equipment found, purchased or stolen is a permanent, unique upgrade for each character. POLITICAL INTRIGUE - As the world of Rin recovers from the Great War, the balance of power remains badly skewed, with vacuums of power still waiting to be filled. Each character has 3 equipment slots with 8 upgrades each, with 192 to find in total. The player's party will be both beset and aided by schemers, liars and betrayers, all while the clock ticks down to a reprise of the greatest war in human history. Noraskov had theorized that the nations of the world were still too worn by the Great War to enforce the terms of the Treaty. Of the many players that had acted on the world stage, only two remained: the kingdom of Cirinthia and the ancient Republic of Tariq. They supported Noraskov when he overthrew the king. And they supported him as he raised an army. CUSTOM BATTLE SYSTEM - Rise of the Third Power offers eight playable characters in a battle system built from scratch, each with their own strengths and weaknesses, all of whom are meant to participate in battle simultaneously without the need for tedious party management. It is feared by many that a reprise of the Great War, that at one time could have been prevented, is now all but inevitable. No more buying that awesome helmet back in town only to stumble over a better one as treasure in a dungeon. So did the people. Rise of the Third Power is a love letter to the glory days of the console style RPG, with modern conveniences such as auto-save and a combination of the best elements of Japanese and Western style gameplay and writing. Instead of purchasing replacements, the player purchases upgrades. Combine each character's unique powers and disadvantages, analyze the abilities of your foes, set your formation and charge into battle. In time, Dimitri Noraskov, a hero to the defeated Kingdom of Arkadya, rose from the ashes. A blend of humor, drama and tragedy await players as they navigate the treacherous world of Rin.
