What is League of Kingdoms Chronicle?

LOK Chronicle (LOKC in short) is a dungeon-crawling adventure RPG that will be available cross-platform on mobile and web browsers. Notably, many existing NFT collections from League of Kingdoms will have interoperable utilities within the new RPG.

The core gameplay of LOKC revolves around single player RPG mixed with guild based multiplayer interaction in dungeons, sieges, and raids across the vast world map. Players can choose from various difficulty levels, each with its own boss mobs and unique loot rewards upon clearing fields. Additionally, existing NFT collections such as LAND and DRAGO will play integral roles in the RPG’s ecosystem.

The Three Pillars

LOKC boasts sophisticated character, item, and party systems commonly found in RPG games. However, it introduces three core pillars that sets it apart.

  1. Character & Weaponry systems
  2. Guild-based Mercenary Systems
  3. Interoperable and Multi-Utility NFTs

Character & Gear system

In LOK Chronicle, players have a wealth of options when it comes to character classes and promotional paths. As can be seen below, with 21 classes available, starting with Warriors, Rogues, and Mages, players can tailor their characters to suit their preferred playstyle, whether focused on offense, defense, or support. Customizable stats and skill trees further allow players to optimize their combat performance.

In battle, mastering unique abilities is crucial to securing victory. Whether unleashing devastating attacks, launching precision strikes, or casting powerful spells, players rely on their characters’ skills to overcome challenges.

The game’s gear system adds another layer of depth, with each hero equipped with armor, weapons, accessories, and pets. Pets, including Dragos from LOK, bring an unprecedented extent of seamless interoperable experiences. Different weapon types offer varying ranges and elements, enhancing strategic combinations.

LOK Chronicle features an unlimited number of uniquely generative gears, which can be found, upgraded, and enchanted with in-game loot, resources, local specialties and potentially external NFT assets. With diverse classes, customization options, and gear and skill combinations, LOK Chronicle offers endless adventure and strategy for players to explore.

Guild & Mercenary System

In LOK Chronicle, the Guild & Mercenary system introduces a compelling social dimension to the gameplay, enriching the overall experience. While players can opt for solo play as an auto-battler during their daily routine, whether in the background of your workstation or as your favorite time killer during a metro ride, the true excitement unfolds upon joining a guild. Guild membership offers access to exclusive content and facilitates collaboration with others to achieve collective goals such as conquering world objects (PvE), participating in guild wars (PvP), and tackling high-stakes dungeons/raids.

Another exciting feature centered around Guilds is that players’ heroes become available for other guild members to accompany in their dungeon adventures while they are AFK (the “Mercenary Pool”). The battles will earn rewards and loot while players are offline.

Examining this system from two angles — the game loop and the economy — reveals its multifaceted benefits. From a game loop perspective, guild membership provides numerous advantages. Joining a robust guild grants privileges such as special access to world object sieges and dungeons, along with unique resources tailored for guilds. Additionally, guild members can partake in exclusive raid events, embarking on quests to hunt epic monsters and earn valuable rewards.

From an economic standpoint, guild membership presents lucrative opportunities. Players have the option to join the guild’s mercenary pool, engaging in battles across various dungeons to earn resources and assets even while offline. Moreover, guild membership offers eligibility for raid events boasting legendary rewards, crucial for crafting and enchanting powerful gear with high market value.

In essence, the Guild & Mercenary system in LOK Chronicle not only fosters camaraderie and collaboration but also provides tangible benefits to players, enhancing both their gameplay experience and economic prospects

LOK LAND NFT in the world of LOKC

While players can socialize and prepare in towns like Heldengard, the Adventurer’s City, it’s when they venture into the perilous World/Field that the true adventure begins. Here, heroes stage dungeon expeditions, requiring energy to enter each stage, with varying difficulties from Easy to Hell. Players navigate through the dungeons, facing challenges of various ferocious monsters and encountering points of interest (POIs) such as monsters, traps, and items. The pathing system mirrors the strategic depth of Darkest Dungeon 2, leading to a climactic battle with a boss monster at the end. All of these happen on a NFT called LOK LAND NFTs (LOKL) on Ethereum, owned by yourself and/or one of your fellow community member.

The versatile composability and interoperability of LAND NFTs, which will be utilized across the two Dapps, distinguishes LOKC from other games. Similarly, in LOK, these LAND NFTs play a pivotal role in LOKC, hosting various objects such as monsters and mines in LOK, as well as accommodating up to four dungeon stages in LOKC. As players enter and clear these dungeon stages, they earn Development Points, contributing to the growth and advancement of their LAND parcels.

These LAND NFTs serve as battlegrounds for conflicts and competitions over key world objects like Congress, Fortress, mines, and Dungeons on both of the worlds. Especially in LOKC, the adjacency of your LANDs to these critical objects enhances their growth potential. When PvE or PvP Quests or battles take place on these objects, such as Congress or Fortress, adjacent parcels will earn Dev Points. This is similar to how Adjacent LANDs earn Dev points when a gamer spend Crystal within the center most parcel.

But why does the dev point even matter? The significance of the development points lies in their impact on the accumulation of rewards and the progression of LAND level. Ultimately, the accumulation of LAND Development Points leads to increased daily rewards in $LOKA tokens for owning one of the LANDs. Additionally, Development Points contribute to the leveling up of Lands, enhancing the productivity of resource mills and mines in League of Kingdoms. Moreover, there is the potential for hosting higher-stake dungeon stages on these advanced level LANDs in LOKC, although this is yet to be determined.”

Moreover, victorious conquests of the objects lead to not only increased LAND Development Points in surrounding regions but also the establishment of permanent fixtures like Fortresses. The possibilities of these permanent fixtures, governed by Guilds, are extensive. Guilds can set their own rules, such as tax levies, or host uniquely customized events like guild-permissioned dungeons. Additionally, Raid events featuring formidable monsters can be hosted on the LANDs, offering chances to acquire legendary gear and rare treasures.

LOKL and Drago NFTs seamlessly blend into the game. Players can utilize the same NFTs across multiple applications simultaneously, multiplying their value-generating potential. As LOK’s universe expands with subsequent games, players can anticipate boundless opportunities for their LAND holdings across the evolving ecosystem.

Economic Underpinnings

In LOK Chronicle (LOKC), an intricate multi-currency system forms the backbone of its economic framework, with $LOKA reigning supreme as the primary currency. You can use LOKA to buy any package in LOKC at a discount, just like you are getting in LOK. Gold serves as the in-game currency, facilitating the purchase of items and the upgrading of facilities essential for character progression. Conversely, crystals function as a cash-equivalent, allowing players to access packages, battle passes, and various in-app purchases.

However, the true linchpin of LOKC’s economy lies in NFT item crafting. One of its distinctive features is the integration of local specialties — unique goods and commodities exclusive to specific regions of the Genesis Continent. These coveted items can only be obtained through the conquest of dungeons situated in designated zones. Crafted from rare materials found within these dungeons and/or special events, the most exceptionally crafted gear will be extremely powerful and rare, justifying significant market value, when traded in the form of NFTs.

Each region’s dungeons present a diverse array of challenges, with a plethora of monsters boasting different abilities and elemental affinities. This diversity not only adds depth to gameplay but also creates strategic opportunities for players to leverage their class-specific abilities effectively.

To recap, at the heart of LOKC’s economic structure lies its generative item economy, underpinned by blockchain technology. Established NFTs such as LAND and Drago seamlessly integrate into the RPG’s ecosystem, fostering interconnected economic relationships between LOKC and League of Kingdoms.

Launch Campaigns

As we approach the game launch in later this year, there will be a special announcement about the game launch special campaigns including airdrop of The Vanguard’s Bonfire, a special package that most engaged community members can earn.

About League of Kingdoms

League of kingdoms is a massively multiplayer (MMO) strategy game that is centered around building kingdoms and governing the world. Here the player can build a powerful kingdom and army, forge alliances, compete against others, and trade digital assets across the blockchain.

The LANDs are NFTs transparently and verifiably stored on the blockchain network, so players can own and trade freely. Gamers can not only own a parcel of Land, but various resources therein, and the future growth of the game platform.

About League of Kingdoms Arena (LOKA)

League of Kingdoms Arena (LOKA) is League of Kingdoms’ native token and will be the cornerstone for the game project’s expansion into metaverses where communities of gamers can own and thrive.

The LOKA will be utilized as the currency inside the League of Kingdoms game franchise and its platform games for all in-game store purchases, such as purchasing packages, skins, and goods. Additionally, the LOKA token will act as an NFT booster to create, upgrade, and acquire special NFT assets, including but not limited to Drago and Skin NFTs. You can pledge the LOKA token to unlock special ingame utilities. Last but not least LOKA tokens can also be earned by playing the in-game competition and/or achieving special tasks — for example after each Continent vs. Continent (CvC) battle, winners will be rewarded with LOKA tokens (and potentially rarer NFT item rewards) depending on the performance during the battle.
