Calling All Doctors!

The long-awaited day has finally arrived!  Arknights, the Tower Defense hero collector developed by HyperGryph Studios and published by Yostar, is now available for download and play on the iOS App Store and Google Play Store.

Arknights is a strategy RPG immersing players in a dystopian universe of technological progress gone awry. Originium, a special ore with many applications, has led to innovation as well as infection. Without any known cure, those infected by originium exposure are sentenced to a life of affliction and isolation.

Step into the shoes of the enigmatic Doctor and lead the forces of Rhodes Island against the hordes of Reunion, a terrorist group comprised of disenchanted infected.  Arknights fuses elements of traditional RPG and strategy games to form a novel 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 learn the intimate details of their Operators’ lives as they progress through the plot.

Arknights is a strategy RPG immersing players in a dystopian universe of technological progress gone awry. Originium, a special ore with many applications, has led to innovation as well as infection. Without any known cure, those infected by originium exposure are sentenced to a life of affliction and isolation.

People exposed to this powerful ore are dubbed 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 employ these operators as they strive to bring order to a world teetering on the fringes of chaos and collapse.

Arknights fuses elements of traditional RPG and strategy games to form a novel 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 exceling in ranged combat and others specializing in melee, magic, or healing. Each operator has a unique background story, and players learn the intimate details of their operators’ lives as they progress through the plot. These operators can also be promoted to “Elite-2” level, unlocking special new abilities, skill animations, and character art.

Each player also runs 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 plethora of content to engage with, making Arknights one of the most complete and entertaining mobile titles of early 2020. To get in on Arknight’s global debut, head on over to:
