Koop Rise of the Third Power Xbox One

Rise of the Third Power is a love letter to the golden age of console RPGs, blending nostalgic pixel art and classic turn-based gameplay with modern conveniences like auto-save, streamlined progression, and refined game design. Combining the best of Japanese and Western RPG traditions, it delivers a sweeping adventure of war, politics, and unforgettable heroes.

• 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 2 weapons, an accessory, and 10 equipment slots to craft upgrades for, with 80 craftables in total. This system avoids the tedium of inventory management, while also giving the completionist something useful to hunt for.

Fifteen years after the Great War, the world stands on the brink of another catastrophe. The Arkadyan Empire has risen from the ashes under the charismatic and ruthless Dimitri Noraskov, whose relentless expansion threatens to plunge the continent into a new era of bloodshed.

Determined to stop history from repeating itself, the young prince Rowan joins forces with the brilliant spy Corrina and the mysterious princess Arielle. Together, the three embark on a dangerous journey across a politically fractured world, forging unlikely alliances, confronting powerful enemies, and uncovering conspiracies that could decide the fate of nations.

As war draws ever closer, their choices will shape the future of the continent—and determine whether peace still has a chance to survive.
