▍Story
“Arknights” is a strategy RPG immersing players in a dystopian universe of technological progress gone awry. The story starts with the appearance of “Originium”, a special ore that has brought advance technology as well as a deadly infection to the world. Without any known cure, those who are infected are sentenced to a life of affliction and isolation.
People exposed to this powerful ore are dubbed as the infected. They’re ostracized due to both their contagious state and the awesome powers “Originium” grants them. As a member of the advanced research organization called Rhodes Island, players will employ these operators as they strive to bring order to a world teetering on the fringes of collapse.
▍Gameplay
“Arknights” is a combination of RPG and strategy games, which aims to convey a brand new mobile experience with an extensive story mode.
The core gameplay centers around recruiting operators and deploying them in a timely and strategic fashion on the map. Operators come in eight different classes, with some excelling in ranged combat and others specializing in melee, magic, or healing.
Each operator has a unique background story, and players will be able to learn the intimate details of their operators’ lives as they progress through the plot. These operators can also be promoted to “Elite-2” level, and unlock their new abilities, skill animations, and character art.
Each player will run a base that can be tweaked and upgraded, providing operators with combat capabilities and advantages. Bases come equipped with dorms, where operators can rest and recover morale.
Dorms outfitted with nicer décor and furnishings will reduce recovery time for operators. Base construction and upgrades add extra layers of strategy to a game already sporting a lengthy and complex story mode.
Beyond battles and bases, players have a plethora of content to engage with, making Arknights one of the most complete and entertaining mobile titles of early 2020.
