In total, there's about ~30 songs on the CD! There's some other cool stuff in the collector's box, too. Here's the full contents: Ara Fell soundtrack CD A double-sided cloth map of Lita's hand-drawn map of Ara Fell An enamel pin of half the Rise party ferrying in Lilly's boat Plus the game box looks pretty amazing - I personally cant wait to have it on my shelf.

It's been a while since we've taken a closer look at one of the R3P characters. Aden {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/31443208/a12ade7ffe29e2ea37aac4630a9b1d71cc2e253a.png Aden, ???: Little is known of the warlock known as Aden. He keeps his secrets and his motives largely to himself. He's on a mission to kill Viktoriya, but the reason is as mysterious as he, himself. He's the moody type, to say the least, disinterested in conversation or social interactions in general. He's often found brooding quietly by himself. Still, he seems to have eyes for someone in the party... {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/31443208/51e1594108683f8673f680fc9a848acf382da85a.gif In battle, his dark powers can be used to summon demons and deteriorate the life force of his enemies, stacking progressively more powerful degenerative effects over time.

She has one goal, which she will stop at nothing to achieve, and that is averting the Second Great War. She strives to be kind and nurturing, but to stop the war, there is no price too high, no rule that can't be bent, no code that can't be broken. She will not abide watching those caskets flowing into her church, not again. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/31443208/00d4b2f7e5b3363357843651bf192391011d860b.gif In battle, she heals and protects her compatriots while also using her Celestial powers to augment allied abilities, as well deal her own powerful magical attacks.

Her father played a major role in the fight against the Arkadyans during the Great War, but now seeks to ally with them to achieve his own ambitions. Arielle has no interest in politics or adventure, yet is forced to play both games simultaneously. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/31443208/558cda664b9cd08c22047b3f43f39f3977dc71bc.gif She somehow manages to engage enemies with a ship's cannon.

Character Profile: RowanFeb 8, 2022 - Community AnnouncementsHey everyone! The Rise of the Third Power release is right around the corner! Who's ready to take up arms? In the meantime, meet the cast of characters from this dramatic, story-rich RPG! Rowan Val Serino {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/31443208/d7b947c1c3c846c69cbd6ecbe0f96a0e6519d9eb.png Rowan. Age 35. From the island nation of Angelico but sailed for the kingdom of Cirinthia in the great war as a mercenary. Took up piracy after he was dishonorably discharged, now seeks redemption for a wasted life and the blood he has spilled. He's jaded, still recovering from a traumatic childhood, but fiercely loyal -- maybe to a fault. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/31443208/e03ab3aa86465e44cf487daf3b6eb668313362bb.gif In battle, he acts as a brawler, taking damage and dishing it out in turn with a mix of taunts, defensive cooldowns, and powerful single-target attacks.

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.
