Rifts: Promise of Power

Rifts: Promise of Power is a 2005 video game licensed for the Rifts role-playing game (RPG) from Palladium Books. It was available for pre-order since the spring when it was slated for an autumn release. It was later released in October for the Nokia N-Gage. It is currently the first and only adaptation of the Rifts RPG series to an electronic media format. Due to the failure of the N-Gage platform in the North American market, however, the game is very difficult to find.

The basic mechanics of the game are adapted from the pen-and-paper version, utilizing an Action Point turn based system similar to Fallout and X-Com.

Character classes available in Promise of Power represent a broad but shallow sampling of the dozens presented in the RPG series. There are three proto-classes from among which players can select at the outset of the game: Mercenary, Psionic, and Magic User. Upon reaching fourth level, players may choose a specialization such as Borg, Burster, or Ley Line Walker, some of which are restricted based on proto-class. One character class specially designed for the game – the Elemental Fusionist – was adapted into the Rifts Ultimate Edition core rulebook.
