Rifts: Promise of Power is a 2005 video game licensed for the Rifts role-playing game (RPG) from Palladium Books. It was released for the N-Gage in 2005. The basic mechanics of the game are adapted from the pen-and-paper version, utilizing an action point turn-based system.
In 2025, Palladium Books announced plans to crowdfund the re-release of the game on PC.[5]
There are three character classes available in Promise of Power. There are three proto-classes from which players can select at the outset of the game: Mercenary, Psionic, and Magic User. Upon reaching fourth level, players may choose a specialization such as Borg, Burster, or Ley Line Walker, some of which are restricted based on proto-class. One character class specially designed for the game – the Elemental Fusionist – was adapted into the Rifts Ultimate Edition core rulebook.
The game covers five different locations on Rifts Earth from the sourcebooks. Promise of Power is set on Rifts Earth, a post-apocalyptic world a few hundred years in the future. It features advanced technology, magic and psionic powers, alien and monstrous beings from other dimensions, mutants, and vampires.
