A triple AAA medieval, fantasy, action, Arena-RPG game with 4K graphics. The project we’ll feature today offers full-scale gameplay with man-to-man combat, dungeons, clan boss battles, aerial battles with dragons, or naval wars with battleships.
Being developed as a Web2.0 game in the first place and later integrated into blockchain technology, this game promises to provide the best in-game experience to players with the opportunity to turn in-game earnings to profit. Introducing, ELDARUNE
Eldarune is a Multiplayer RPG game set in a medieval environment with some fictional elements. The game takes place in a medieval world called Elymnias. The story of Eldarune follows Alec who was separated from his family as a child to be raised as a Justiciar – a privileged class traveling all over the world to fight injustice.
While playing Eldarune you will travel 21 islands, fight in the hundreds of dungeons, and defeat the strongest monsters in the Elymnias world with your clan.
GAMEPLAY
Eldarune offers rich gameplay mechanics and a gaming experience that will satisfy even the most experienced gamers. Players can use swords to cut enemies in half, crossbows to pin enemies down, and call a dragon to burn them all. Moreover, players can sail to wreck enemy ships using powerful arbalests installed on the deck, control a dragon to destroy a huge fleet, or hunt down other dragons in the air. Picking the right weapon for the right champions at the right time is essential.
Champions will gain attack and defense bonuses with different challenges. Players need to strengthen their champions in many different ways. Profession skills, alchemy, potion crafting, weapon mastery and more including acquiring stronger gears. The best way to do so is grinding Dungeons, participating in Clan Boss battles or PvP Arena.
Eldarune has four different game modes and every game mode offers a different gameplay experience with various game mechanics.
First, is the campaign mode which is a Witcher-like single-player mode. By playing Eldarune’s story mode, players will learn about the lore and experience the fundamentals of the game. But to play this game, players need to purchase Alec NFTs since the main character of Campaign Mode is Alec.
Players can play dungeons to farm items independently or as a team, such as in a co-op. This will help players to get better gear. The harder the dungeon, the better items will drop. Instead of the usual 3rd person camera angle, this mode offers isometric gameplay like the diablo franchise.
Next, is the clan boss which focuses on playing as a clan. Clans need to fight against an overwhelming enemy together. Each clan member will be rewarded with items if they are able to defeat the boss. Bosses will drop items as NFTs that you can trade.
Last but not least, is the PVP arena, where players can fight against each other in many different styles. They can fight 1v1 up to 5v5, 5v5v5, and more Your reward will be based on how much you staked when entering the battle. There are different types of PvP arenas, they are not only limited to man-to-man combat, but players can also ride dragons for aerial battles or sail battleships for naval fights.
Players will have different NFT champions for all these game modes except the campaign. Each champion is specialized in a particular combat type. To be successful, for every game mode, players and clans need to develop different strategies in battle.
Now let’s talk about the characters also referred to as champions in the game. You will get some free-to-use champions and more champions can either be bought through the marketplace or dropped from dungeons.
Players are offered many different characters to play with. Each Character has its unique strengths which are required for different situations. Before you battle make sure to choose the right champion, weapons, and armor.
Here are some of the characters from the lore but note that many more will be introduced.
Alec was raised as a justiciar – a title that holds great power and responsibility was trained in many different disciplines including martial arts, swordsmanship, magic, alchemy, politics, etc.
Then there’s Elora, a blacksmith who forges the best armor and weapon. Her brother is a skilled and witty pirate captain.
Next, there’s the alchemist who does not innately own magical skills but his hard work put in the alchemy provided him some use of magic. A result of a somewhat failed alchemy experience is the skull crusher who was a pirate once. Lastly, Reda is one of the best wyvern tamers in Elymnias.
Aside from the characters, important things in the game as well are the dragons for the aerial battles and battleships that are essential for naval fights.
The cornerstone of Eldarune’s scalability is based on the season system. Eldarune is set to have 21 seasons pre-determined. Each season will be unlocked with a new island that players can explore with new enemies and new gears available. This aims to solve the issue of a sustainable and dynamic game economy.
Being a blockchain game, all the game assets, weapons, armors, characters, and champions are NFTs. Including items and assets like gears and skill books. You are free to buy NFTs to have a better experience or just be satisfied with what you farm. But if ever you decide to leave the game, you are free to re-sell them or you can rent your NFT’s to other players for a limited time in return for a profit.
TOKENOMICS
Eldarune’s token is named ELDA and it has many different use cases. ELDA will drop from quests, objectives, and challenges. Completing quests, defeating a boss in Clan Boss mode, winning a PvP arena fight, special events, and much more. With the ELDA tokens dropped, players can utilize them in various ways:
- To purchase arena tickets for participating in PvP battles.
