History
The company was founded in 2002. At that time it was a group of like-minded people who worked together on their own project with the draft name «Arise».
In the end of 2003 the company began the development of the second project — real-time strategy «Desert Law». To create this game we greatly remade the licensed engine of «Blitzkrieg» game developed by Nival Interactive Company and on the basis of the modified engine we created absolutely novel Universe in the best traditions of «Fallout» and «Mad Max». During the work on our pilot project we gained invaluable experience of game commercial development and cooperation with the publisher, producers and outside developers.
After the first success we proved our strength in new genre — party-based RPG — which recreates the Universe of Russian best seller «Not the Time for Dragons» by Sergey Lukyanenko and Nick Perumov. Thanks to 1C Company which appeared to be our publisher, for this game we used the innovative licensed technology created by SkyFallen Company for «Blood Magic» game. It provided our new game with the perfect modern graphics and impressive special effects. Accurate plot recreation of the book of the most popular Russian fantasy writers and creative game design, accomplished with the help of the best designers of KranX Productions Company, made the game to be a significant event in the Russian game development market.
While doing gameplay tuning of the status project «Not the Time for Dragons», Arise Company was also developing add-ons to the new project of Nival Interactive Company — «Blitzkrieg 2». Based on its game mechanics, we have significantly enhanced game balance toward historical authenticity and recreated some different years episodes of World War II in some add-ons to the original game.
«Blitzkrieg 2: Fall of the Reich» represents the events of 1944 that took place at the East European seat of war: a player faces fierce battles between Red Army and Wehrmacht for Belarus and Hungary.
«Great Battles: Battle of Tobruk» reconstructs in detail the legendary battles of German Afrika Korps and the British Eighth Army in Sahara desert and mountain passes of Tunisia in 1941-1943.
