;Modes The game combines
role-playing,
real-time strategy and
city-building mechanics. Its gameplay consists of several game modes, the most notable of which are
PVP-battles. Players develop their own base and build an army in order to attack enemy bases, destroy them, seize resources and capture enemy leaders. Usually, players can attack only enemies from their own kingdom, but during the Kingdom War (KvK), all servers (excluding new servers) are opened for attacks. Players can attack monsters and "Darknests" that periodically appear on the kingdom map in order to claim resources from them. In addition to the usual attacks, players can participate in contests, the purpose of which is to capture a location on the map, earning bonuses either for themselves or the guild that they are a part of. The game also has several additional gameplay modes: • Hero Stage - PvE-mode; the player fights through a series of challenges using unique Heroes. Completing the stages can earn the player new Heroes, Hero experience, and materials for Hero equipment. • Colosseum - PvP-mode; the player selects up to five Heroes and fights against another player's preselected Heroes. Victories result in Hero experience and a higher position on the Colosseum ranking. The game's premium currency, Gems, are awarded to players based on their rank. • The Labyrinth - PvE-mode; the player can challenge a monster in order to claim various resources and speed-up items. On occasion, players may earn a jackpot on Gems. • Kingdom Tycoon - PvE-mode; the player uses a luck token to roll a dice and moves forward till they reach the end of the map. The player gets different resources, items and even chests on the way and a gemming gremlin at the end where they have a chance to win the jackpot on Gems. Attacks and defenses in the game require developed tactical and strategic thinking. The player must not only know which heroes to take into battle, what equipment to wear but also be able to make quick decisions that are correlated with the current situation. Capturing locations (e.g. Wonders) requires in many respects the coordinated action of several players of one guild. ==Release and marketing==
