Rise of the Third Power STEAM digital

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 awaits 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 its 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.
