It starts out simply enough. An apprentice at a small-town potion shop is out looking for potion ingredients when she accidentally falls into a cave. With monsters in it. Despite her lacking much combat skill beyond blocking and throwing potions, the apprentice apothecary Brill is thrust into an adventure, with the fate of the entire continent of Ruphand hanging in the balance. It may seem like a story you've heard before. But not everything is quite as it seems in this story...
Ruphand is an episodically-released JRPG where, for the most part, you're guiding Brill, an apprentice apothecary whose only offensive skill is throwing exploding potions at the bad guys. Fortunately, she's quite good at taking samples- which basically translates to picking things up off the ground that she can use to mix more exploding potions. Managing your inventory and seeking out hidden treasure will allow you to amass an arsenal of potions and equipment that will allow Brill to face more powerful foes.
Each move you make has a Windup and Delay time; Windup determines how long it takes for a move to be used after it's selected, while Delay determines how long the user must wait before they can select another action afterward. Almost everything is shown up front; you'll see when enemies are readying attacks, and can time your own moves based on that.
Blocking isn't like it usually is, either; instead of simply halving damage, you'll take less damage from most attacks based on your shield. Each of the six elements- Fire, Ice, Thunder, Water, Earth and Wind- has a special effect associated with it that can turn the tide of battle.
Ruphand is an episodic game that will release newer content over time. Previous versions will be able to move their save data over to the latest version of the game when it comes out. As of the most recent release (Version 0.3.4), the content available in-game can provide at least twenty hours of gameplay.
