Rise of the Third Power is very obviously made by the developers of Ara Fell... like it's not a sequel (or if it is, it's a very distant one) but everything about it is extremely familiar. I'd definitely recommend to anyone who liked Ara Fell; not sure if I'd recommend it first, though, as it's less immediately charming than its predecessor.
It does have some unique strong points, including numerous dogs and cats that you can pet (and each playable character seems to have their own unique animation for petting dogs and cats!) and just a subtle thing where many if not most of the incidental leaders and solider types are women. It's also much more of an ensemble cast, so I guess the one case where I'd recommend it over Ara Fell is if "plucky tomboy chosen one joins the eternal war between elves and sky vampires" doesn't appeal to you quite as much as "ragtag rebel alliance kidnap and/or recruit a hilariously spoiled princess to stymie the evil emperor's ambitions."
