About the Game

Summary

Ardent: Rise is a fantasy real-time action RPG with primarily tab-target, ability-driven combat, strong tank / damage / healing roles, and a multiplayer CO-OP PVE focus.

What are the core tenets of the game?

  • Implement the "holy trinity" (Tank, Heals, Damage) archetypes in a narrative rich environment,

  • Create fun, thematic, and customizable RPG classes,

  • Focus on an exciting PVE CO-OP experience

Game Play

  • 3D semi-open world with real-time combat

  • Combat is primarily tab-target with growing hybrid action elements (directional attacks, dodges, and positional play) in tougher encounters.

  • PVE CO-OP - 5 Players

  • There are Towns and Dungeons with NPCs and enemies/bosses

  • Dungeons will provide varied enemy encounters that can be increased in difficulty for more challenging play

  • Characters can be leveled by gaining experience through exploration, quests, and interactions such as combat

  • There are loot items that you can equip, which can be gained as rewards from quests and combat, or through crafting

  • Abilities, Skills, Talents, and Professions can all be applied to customize your character capabilities

  • Mild narrative choices during story progression and world exploration

The game is currently a limited-slice prototype and is entirely self-funded. Many of the details above are already implemented in the prototype but the full game vision as described above will depend on additional funding.
