Rise of the Third Power

This is a role-playing game in which players lead a band of adventures on a quest to protect a princess. As player explore a 2D fantastical world, they interact with characters and engage in turn-based combat against small enemies (e.g., pirates, wraiths, giant insects, spirits). Players use a menu screen to select weapon strikes and magic spells; battles are highlighted by impact sounds and brief blood-splatter effects. Cutscenes depict additional acts of violence and blood: a villain shooting characters; a character getting his throat slit, resulting in blood pooling. Blood effects also appear on the edges of the screen to indicate player damage; some character portraits depict blood stains on clothing. The game contains some suggestive material: characters wearing revealing outfits (e.g., deep cleavage); dialogue that states, “I won't have any whoring on my premises” and “This morning, I was all but certain you had left me a cripple. Your pen….” During the course of the game, a character is shown drinking from a flask with dialogue that states, “I fight better drunk anyway,” “I wasn't aware anyone could drink that much and survive,” and “I thought you were going to stop drinking.” The character also has a “booze” skill during combat that depicts him drinking a frothy mug. Players can also encounter a character smoking a pipe. The words “sh*t” and “a*shole” appear in the game.
