If you haven't ever heard about Rise of Rebellion, it's a promising action RPG that Hytacka has been developing for quite a long time with the goal of creating "The most interesting action RPG in the world" while regularly posting progress on his YouTube channel. Back in 2021, it was selected by the Kodansha Creators’ Lab indie support program and presented at Indie Live Expo Winter 2021.
At long last, we're getting a chance to try its intriguing melee combat mechanics ourselves. If you're curious, here's how the developer officially describes the game (SIC).
Overview
"Rise of Rebellion" is a single-player 3D action RPG that pursues strategicity through operations during battle.
The hero fights with the invaders he encounters on the island in order to regain his invaded hometown.
The basis of the battle is a close combat with a sword, but with the energy "May" derived from the earth, you can transfer the thrown sword to your hand again or use a technique that is advantageous for battle.
However, if you use Mei too much, you will be incapacitated for a certain period of time due to the wrath of the god of the earth.
That dilemma further increases the strategic nature of the battle.
Please experience the "link feeling" that makes you sweat in your hands while confronting strong enemies.
Story"If God exists, he must be a jealous God."
The dragons that once aimed at the sky were extinct due to the earth punishment.
People worshiped God and the land where God dwelled.
The earth was full of "May", and the warriors who mastered it were called "Manus".
You fight to regain your hometown as a Manus.
