Developer: Devin_PerryFan

Before anything else, this game is a Chapter by Chapter game like Quintessence : TBV, the game only has the Prologue Chapter done, and Chapter 1 is currently in progress. Beta Testing for this game took 1 Week. (Urgh). Also, this is a 1 Man Work, so if you have critics, please be nice.



What would you do if you find yourself alone with your only brother in a burning village?
Your parents and other siblings are nowhere to be found. Would you run away or risk your lives finding them? What would you feel if you and your brother has nowhere to run? Would you dare venture out into the outskirts of your village, the place which you called "Darkness" the whole time? What if the person who you know your whole life is someone more idealistic than who he is today? Would you feel surprised and be amazed? Or be angry to them keeping it a secret from you? What would you feel that one day, your just a peasant and another day you find yourself with people whom you thought you lost them?

Plot/Story
A few decades ago, a magical city known as Atreaus Metior is the home of wizards and witches, sorcerers and warlocks, and all who harness the powers of magic. These "conjurers"
had the power to completely convert every possible material known to mankind to magic. But
one shocking discovery caused debates and arguments around the city forcing these magicians
to fight against one another. There were ice storms, fires, earthquakes and typhoons everyday. The once so called magical haven turned into a pit of hell. One magician however was the only one who had successfully used this "discovery" causing the riot to end and bringing the city back to its original glory. But, the discovery took its toll on the magician, every single day he feels weaker and weaker. Now, he knows why that the "discovery" isn't possible for wizards like him, it's because it drains the users lifeforce every second.

Atleast, a few decades past, the city of Atreaus Metior has now been erased from the past, it's like it never existed. The well-known magician lives in a peaceful town on the southern forests of Zyntria, along with his six sons. His sons never knew what he really was, nor what he is suffering from as of now. But he did promise to himself that he will tell them once they get older... But that day never came, an unsuspecting tragedy occured on the village which led
to the magician's death.

Features :

A Real Time Battle System
- Every got bored with those Turn-based Battle Systems? Need more challenge? Then this
game has it for you. The battle system in this game is totally dependent on a characters /
enemy's agility. The higher the agility of a certain character the more times he can attack
in successions. Also, in turn-based battle systems, you always have an infinite amount of
time to think your next move because if it's your turn, everything just stopped until you
commence your moves. But in this battle system, it's completely different, not only that you
have limited time to think, you also have to be fast in picking your actions and planning ahead.
Panic is your worst enemy in this battle system.

Visible Enemies
- Are you just tired of enemies just popping out of nowhere, especially when you have
no more healing items and you have low health? You might think the battle system is already
crazy, but don't worry, these visible enemies will give you a chance to dodge them to prevent
any more encounters, till you get yourself to a village and pack up.

Point System
- Dark Points and Holy Points are distributed by the Hellkeeper and the Goddess themselves. These points are claimed based on your choice/decision in a certain situation in the game. Usually you might think that doing good will always give you holy points and bad points if you do bad. But this game is completely different, some choices that may look evil, will turn out to be the better ones instead! So you will never know what is the right decision. Plus, once collected enough of these points, players can redeem them for the strongest items in game! Holy weapons have different effects than the Dark weapons, but I will not spoil them for you.

5 Different Point Of Views!
- Even though the game is not completely finished, the outline/overall story is massive and huge. It will definitely take a lot of time to complete such work. One feature this game has to brag about is the 5 P-O-V, or in other words, 5 Different Character Parties with its own distinctive story to start off. And in the end, these main characters will all merge into one chapter and continue the story!

40+ (or more) Recruitable/Playable Characters
- Very much like Exit Fate and the Suikoden Series, in one point of the game, you will be able to have a very large mansion where in all your playable characters when recruited will stay and offer you with tons of rewards, trust me, when the time comes, don't forget to recruit the monkey, it's worthwhile,

Weapon-Teaching Skills
- Ever heard of the AP/TP feature of Final Fantasy Tactics Advance of the GBA Console? Well, like that players can equip weapons which let's them use "skills" but when they defeat a certain monster in the game, they will be able to master it, and use it without equipping the weapon anymore!

Visible EXP Bar
-Ever encountered games wherein you don't know when are you gonna level up? Well, in this game with a little bit of math or a use of a calculator, you can easily identify how many more monsters you have to defeat before leveling!

Visible HP Bar
-Are you just pissed off or annoyed wherein there are boss battles and you don't know when
are they going to die and you just ended up dying on the last hit to them? Well don't worry
with the Visible HP Bar during battles, you can keep track how many more Hit Points
a monster has!

- Tons of Sidequests and puzzles!
- A very long and interesting (I hope) storyline
- A warm atmosphere during gameplay!

Comment : Risk Within Hands is a RPG real time action battle system game made by Takasan Productions. You have 2 characters to start with namely Jonn and Paulo who are brothers and later in the game you can recruit more characters to your party but from the start you only control 2. The 2 characters possess different traits and jobs. They both have advantages and disadvantages for example Paulo is a swordsman with high defense and HP but he is very slow. Jonn is a bow user with high agility but low in defense and Hit Point.

This style of game is a very simple, it has a similar style to Final Fantasy 7 but what entertains me is the effects of the attacks like for the ice bow there’s an ice effect every time you attack. Thereis no tutorial in the game because it is very simple just pick attack, defend, items and magic but what adds up to the challenge is there is no escape once you started the fight there is no turning back you have to defeat it or be defeated but don’t worry the monsters are there, you can see them so you can evade them if you don’t want to fight them.

The way Virtual-On is presented creates another hurdle, as well. The menus are simple and yet attractive holdover visuals like the PS1 games. You will see the items, skills, status, etc but no options sad so if the sound is kind of loud to you, you need to lessen the sound in the main pc not in the game but never the less it’s great.

The release of the game is per chapter meaning that Takasan Productions will create per chapter and release it to the public and after the public played it he will gather information, reaction to the game and these information we be used in the next chapters in the game and the users will want to play the game more and so far its only the prologue of the game.

Unlike most common RPG games, Risk Within Hands is very bright and cheerful. The music is very soothing and relaxing. The creator really does know how to put music very effectively and efficiently; the textures are free of grit. You can’t see the changes of the character once equip with different equips but nevertheless the graphics is outstanding, simple and very similar to Legend of Zelda scenes, if you are a fan of legend of Zelda's scenery then you will love this.

This look's really nice,I don't usually like RMVX but this sparked my interest. You didn't make the shop system did you? I think I've seen it on RMXP.org. Anyways good luck! C:

Zomg, I just woke up and was scared to death that no one replied here. Thanks so much Iya, hope you enjoy the game, if you have any problems regarding the game you can freely ask for help here.

Melody, yeah, it's by Moghunter. Moghunter has alot of useful scripts in RMXP, but there are some translators that were able to make it valid for RMVX. I've seen Moghunter's game and it is quite good, I would love to play it, but unfortunately it is in another language. @_@

Lol yeah I know what you mean, Good Luck with the other chapters Devin_PerryFan!

Thank you, I appreciate the support.
*Added another feedback from a beta tester*

Hello!can anyone tell me how to get the trasure map of sarah back?

EDIT: Oh!Leave it.I had got the answer of that.Now can someone tell me that sarah can cast spells while they are not in battle.

Sarah's spells are only Battle available to avoid overuse. Due to her high MP, it would pretty be much used, making HP restoring items useless.

The maps are really nice. So far, the story is quite interesting as well. I'm really looking forward to the next chapters. Keep it up with the good work.

those screenshots really look nice ^-^ .. I think I'll try it ..

@Ayne - Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, my computer had a virus and I had to reformat the PC, I wasn't able to save the Chapter 1 Update which is really sad because I'm half way through it. But, I still have the prologue Chapter in my USB so, I think I can continue working but next chapter's release will be longer than expected.

@Strawberry - Thanks, I hope you like it.

my screen is flickering every time i try to play it in full screen

edit: cliffy! i'm looking forward for the next chapter

Also, some screenies are still in Mapping mode, but all maps for Chapter 1 is done, maybe I just have to do some finishing touches.
