Genre-defying RPG based on the popular pen-and-paper roleplaying game from Palladium Publishing. Rifts of energy are pulling creatures into a post-apocalyptic world and because they pull from everywhere, the world is soon populated by wizards, robots and everything in between. The game has been adapted into an isometric tactical RPG but at the same time retains all of the rules and ideas of the original. Settings include: Germany, the Coalition States, Lazlo, Scotland, Old Bones, China and more. The original books featured 500 character classes, and from those the N-Gage edition makes available - Glitterboy, Juicer, Headhunter, Mind Melter, Ley Line walker, Burster, Cyborg, Cyber Knight, Battle Magus, Crazy and Mystic. There are over 50 enemies and NPCs, 80+ hours of gameplay and the world is actually fully 3D so that you can rotate the map at any moment for a better view of the action.
Rifts: Promise of Power really reminds me of a tactical take on Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic<. I say that at the risk of getting you too excited only to be disappointed when you read on, but that's really the easiest way to describe it. While the execution doesn't reach that level of awesomeness, N-Gage faithful at least get a promise of playability. Read More »
