Rise of Power is a product that combines the features of the FPS genre with elements specific to MMOcRPG virtual multiplayer games. The axis of the action is the futuristic struggle of the guardians of law and order with anarchist rebel forces. The developers also took care of the aesthetic three-dimensional visual setting (rendering is done by an efficient Torque “engine”) and the high level of complexity of the game (extensive character statistics, a wide range of equipment, etc.).
The storyline takes us several decades into the future, when the Earth is ruled by twelve representatives of the most important nationalities. After the devastating 20-year war, independent military organisations formally cease to exist, society is banned from possessing weapons and the single currency functions in electronic form (a special system of bank accounts). However, at the same time the so-called “black market” is also vigorously operating (trafficking in illegal goods) including criminal structures. Therefore, the global state is not a monolith, slowly decaying internally.
Our main task is to break through the career stages of a policeman or gangster in order to achieve the rank of general, which allows us to lead our own army in the next planetary conflict. The latter explodes in 2056 (according to the implemented system of the passage of time) – the winner gains the title of the omnipotent emperor. In addition, nine different weapons (e.g. plasma thrower, energy rifle and rocket launcher) as well as robots and vehicles can be purchased to increase the chances of success in battle.
