► Description
Description:
1587, 2A - 15 years have passed since the guns of the Great War at last
fell silent. The conflict rocked the world, leaving half a generation
of men and women lying dead on the battlefield. Of the many players
that had acted on the world stage, only two remained: the kingdom of
Cirinthia and the ancient Republic of Tariq.
In time, Dimitri Noraskov, a hero to the defeated Kingdom of Arkadya,
rose from the ashes. He saw his king as a coward for surrendering, and
a traitor for submitting to the Treaty of Evenheart. So did the people.
They supported Noraskov when he overthrew the king. They supported him
as he reclaimed the lands that had been stripped of them. And they
supported him as he raised an army. Noraskov had theorized that the
nations of the world were still too worn by the Great War to enforce
the terms of the Treaty. Thus far, his gambit has proven successful.
The Arkadyan Empire shows no signs of curbing its aggression. 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. But there are those
that believe it can yet be stopped...
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. Experience this fusion of East and West, old and new, in a
game meant to surpass Stegosoft Games' previous work in every way!
• 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. A blend of
humor, drama and tragedy await players as they navigate the treacherous
world of Rin.
• 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. 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.
• 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.
Combine each character's unique powers and disadvantages, analyze the
abilities of your foes, set your formation and charge into battle.
• PERSISTENT EQUIPMENT - Each piece of equipment found, purchased or
stolen is a permanent, unique upgrade for each character. Instead of
purchasing replacements, the player purchases upgrades. No more buying
that awesome helmet back in town only to stumble over a better one as
treasure in a dungeon. Each character has 3 equipment slots with 8
upgrades each, with 192 to find in total. This system avoids the tedium
of inventory management, while also giving the completionist something
useful to hunt for.
