Overview

Rising Thunder Overview

Rising Thunder is a fighting game designed specifically for the PC and online play. The game supports native keyboard controls, and makes it easy to perform each character's entire moveset. Players manage their abilities which each have a set cooldown timer, rather than struggling to learn and executive difficult key combinations. Designed by fighting game veterans, Rising Thunder still retains many of the core elements of the genre including an emphasis on 1v1 competitive gameplay. The game shut down after Riot Games purchased Radiant Entertainment and abandoned Rising Thunder.

Development History / Background:

Rising Thunder is developed by Radiant Entertainment, a Los Altos, California based studio founded in 2013. Rising Thunder is the studio's second game, following the survival/sandbox buy-to-play title Stonehearth, and their first free to play title. Former Capcom community manager Seth Killian has joined the team to help build the industry's first PC-focused and easily accessible 2D fighting game. Drawing inspiration from both the Street Fighter and Super Smash Brothers series, Rising Thunder brings the competitive 1v1 fighter genre to the PC.
