The story takes place in a world where dragons, who once aimed to rule the skies, received the Earth\u2019s punishment and went extinct. Earth, the dwelling place of God, is worshipped by the people, and \u201cMay,\u201d the special energy emerging from the Earth, is harnessed by warriors called Manus.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the protagonist, you take on the role of one such May-wielding warrior and fight to reclaim your hometown from invaders. Combat revolves around melee weapons and special techniques using the Earth\u2019s energy. Overusing the latter, however, will incur the wrath of God upon the Manus and render them temporarily unable to fight, introducing a strategic dimension to gameplay. Rise of Rebellion comes with a combo system, a directional parry and dodge system, and powerful enemies that \u201cwill make your palms sweaty.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"721\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" src=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/tibatasu-20250225-329471-002.webp\" alt=\"Rise of Rebellion\" class=\"wp-image-44693\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/tibatasu-20250225-329471-002.webp 1200w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/tibatasu-20250225-329471-002-380x228.webp 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/tibatasu-20250225-329471-002-768x461.webp 768w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"721\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" src=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/tibatasu-20250225-329471-001.jpg\" alt=\"Rise of Rebellion\" class=\"wp-image-44694\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/tibatasu-20250225-329471-001.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/tibatasu-20250225-329471-001-380x228.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/tibatasu-20250225-329471-001-768x461.jpg 768w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Rise of Rebellion is being developed by Hytacka, a Japanese game developer whose life\u2019s mission is to create \u201cthe most entertaining action RPG in the world.\u201d Hytacka was previously affiliated with FromSoftware, where he worked as a designer on DLC for Dark Souls III. They began full-scale development of their independent project Rise of Rebellion around 2020, after their pitch was selected by Kodansha in the first round of the Game Creator\u2019s Lab initiative.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Back in March 2023, Hytacka released an early combat demo for Rise of Rebellion. Although the demo attracted a lot of attention, it was criticized for its difficult controls. In response, the developer decided to completely overhaul the game\u2019s system. The new demo, released on February 25, reflects these changes and lets you experience the first stage of Rise of Rebellion.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Rise of Rebellion Demo Version Released<br>I hope you enjoy it!<br><br>Steam<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Z1fkQpmcnw\">https:\/\/t.co\/Z1fkQpmcnw<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/indiegame?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#indiegame<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/gamedev?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#gamedev<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/18wXkvOZOo\">pic.twitter.com\/18wXkvOZOo<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Hytacka (@hytacka) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hytacka\/status\/1894007450610929935?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 24, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Rise of Rebellion\u2019s demo is out now on <a href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/1795510\/Rise_of_Rebellion\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Steam<\/a>.
