: Unlike the turn-based main game, Rising features fast-paced real-time combat where you can swap instantly between three characters: CJ : Fast, agile attacks with dual axes.
: You play as CJ , an energetic "honorable scavenger" arriving in the earthquake-stricken town of New Nevaeh. To earn an explorer’s license, you must help the townsfolk by completing an abundance of fetch quests, tracking your progress through a charming Stamp Card system.
: A heavy-hitting kangaroo mercenary with a massive sword.
The game revolves around a rhythmic loop of town-building, resource gathering, and side-scrolling dungeon crawling.
