Arknights

Arknights is an RPG tower defense game wherein the players assume the name of “The Doctor,” who takes off on an adventure in a post-apocalyptic, dystopian world, where the players are employed by Rhodes Island, which is a pharmaceutical company that is focused on curing all the deadly diseases known to man.

Hypergryph and Studio Montagne originally released Arknights in 2019 in China, although Yostar released the game’s Global Server in January 2020. Even before it was released globally, Arknights received many praises from players who commended its extensive lore, amazing graphics, notable character design, and impeccable storyline.

The Doctor’s allies are called “Operators,” which are the leading line of defense. They are the ones who are in charge of aiding The Doctor in defending their base from the enemies called the “Reunion Movement,” who seeks to bring down the government for revenge.

Gameplay

Just like what we mentioned above, Arknights is an RPG tower defense game that has a mixture of Gacha elements. You will be able to train your quick-decision making and strategy to carefully position your Operators and stop the enemies from ever setting foot on your base. 

At the beginning of the game, you will have the chance to select which Operator you prefer using. You have to note that there is a certain stage where you need a specific Operator to complete the stage. 

The resources you have gathered will be of great help in your journey, and the items you have acquired will help you collect more Operators. As you advance through the game, you can play other game modes and have access to resources that you will surely need.
