It's Beta Time!

Hey All, We're starting beta for Rise of the Third Power! Our plan is to hold multiple rounds of beta as we finish up the game, each one having more features implemented than the last. The rounds will likely be 2 weeks apart, and we'll have exact start dates as we get closer to each. If you'd like to participate in the beta, please let me or Evelyn know which round(s) you're interested in via Discord / Steam DM / Email. Please note that the first 3 rounds are Windows only. The 4th round will have support for macOS and Linux. Console builds can only be run on dev hardware, so unfortunately beta console builds are getting beta tested by staff only. Here's what to expect in each round:

Round 1

Story and battle are finished and the game is totally playable. Recommended if you're mainly looking to play through the story and want to play as soon as possible. Missing Features:

No sound effects
No ambient sounds
5/8 characters have skill animations
No enemy animations
No difficulty modes
End-game side content beyond regular end-game side content not added yet
No misc. loot to find in towns
No achievements
Placeholder icons
Plenty of minor bugs that won't cause a crash (e.g. missing text, missing icons, incorrect tile collision)
No vsync
No macOS or Linux support

Round 2

More finished than the previous round, but still a ways to go. Recommended if you're up for playing the game unpolished. Missing Features:

Some sound effects
~7/8 characters have skill animations
No enemy animations
Some difficulty modes
End-game side content beyond regular end-game side content not added yet
No achievements
Placeholder icons
Plenty of minor bugs that won't cause a crash (e.g. missing text, missing icons, incorrect tile collision)
No vsync
No macOS or Linux support

Round 3

Almost finished, just lacking polish. Recommended if you're looking to play the game in its mostly finished state but don't want to wait for round 4 of beta. Missing Features:

Some or most enemy animations
End-game side content beyond regular end-game side content not added yet
No achievements
Some minor bugs that won't cause a crash (e.g. incorrect tile collision)
No macOS or Linux support

Round 4

Mostly polished, very close to what will be the final game. Missing Features:

No achievements (probably)
Few minor bugs that won't cause a crash (e.g. incorrect tile collision)

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.
