Story

In a war-torn nation, you’ll take on your most important call — to unite the Oracles against a force greater than the world has ever seen.

THE WAR THAT WAGES For hundreds of years the Council of Oracles have maintained peace in Hawthorne. They established after a great war saw a revolution overthrow their tyrannical king. However, there are many who believe the Oracles have become complacent and detached. Their integrity is challenged by a family led by a man who calls himself “King” claiming to have descended from Royal Blood — the true heir to sovereignty. The Royal Family promises to unite Hawthorne and develop it into a powerful force among larger nations. Despite their oppressive distant past people are beginning to flock to the side of the Royal Family. It is time for the High Oracle Anastasia to reunite her Council and regain their grip of peace, or surrender to the pages of history opening once more.

Let’s Play Mode

Something we always wanted to deliver for Phoenix Rising is a full PC game experience. As a team, we’ve all played fan games and loved them. However there was a common theme throughout, and that was a small screen that takes up a small amount of your monitor. So this is our answer, a whole new full-screen option we name the “Let’s Play Mode”!

The mode was inspired by Let’s Players who take advantage of the entire screen with elements such as current Pokémon in their party, current location, and so on. We decided we would do something similar. The Let’s Play Mode or “LP Mode” for short, has several features. In the center, you have your game screen. So the action is always right in front of you. To each side of your game screen, there are multiple GUI elements that aid you in your game, you can see your Party and their current health and status, your registered items and what button each of them is mapped to, your region map, and where you’re currently located, and plenty more.

Relic Forms

Interwoven in the tension between Oracles, the Royal Family, and indeed the inhabitants of Hawthorne, is the mysterious appearance of these alternative Pokémon forms. Even stranger is that so-called “Relic Pokémon” are quite rare compared to their more well-documented base forms which are still found in the wild.

Having only appeared recently, nobody seems sure where they have come from or why. There are whispers that link them back to Ho-oh, and the war that ravaged Hawthorne so many years past…
