Arknights: Endfield Gameplay
Unlike its tower defense predecessor, Arknights: Endfield introduces a real-time action RPG experience enriched with base-building and strategic management elements. Set on the planet Talos-II, players explore a semi-open world marked by dangerous creatures called Aggeloi and hostile factions. Gameplay emphasizes tactical party combat with up to four characters engaging enemies simultaneously, each with unique skills and abilities. Seamless character switching and precise skill targeting amplify the action's intensity.
The game’s standout feature is its base-building system, deeply integrated with exploration and resource management. Players can construct various facilities such as relay towers and refineries to automate tasks and expand territory. This aspect of the gameplay offers a satisfying loop of gathering, refining, and optimizing layouts through a tech tree that unlocks advanced structures.
While exploration is more structured than traditional open-world games, players can enhance traversal by deploying ziplines and other structures. Combat emphasizes timing and strategy but lacks certain mechanics like a dodge action, leading to mixed impressions during early testing.
Arknights: Endfield Story Plot
Arknights is set in the hostile and mysterious planet Talos-II where you assume the role of the Endministrator, an enigmatic individual entrusted with great authority over Endfield Industries. As Endfield Industries’ trump card, your mission is to journey through the treacherous, hostile regions of the planet while setting up outposts to expand your area of operations.
The game’s story delves into themes of exploration, survival, and the pursuit of progress in a world fraught with peril. Talos-II is plagued by deadly creatures called Aggeloi and a strange, corruptive force known as the Blight, both of which threaten the fragile efforts to colonize the planet. You lead the charge in rebuilding infrastructure, managing resources, and fending off threats, all while uncovering the planet’s secrets.
It introduces a cast of new and old characters who add depth to the mission. Endfield Industries’ supervisor, Perlica, a sharp-minded strategist and leader, and returning operators such as Rhodes Island’s Angelina, form the core of the Endministrator’s allies to tackle Talos-II’s challenges.
