Why does the dark ARPG SERAPH stand out from many chain game projects?

It has been 2 years since the explosion of Wolf Game in the encryption industry. Nowadays, the background of blockchain gaming projects is becoming more solid and the planning is becoming clearer. After 2 years of accumulation, more and more blockchain gaming projects are presenting excellent games with rich content and high playability to Web3 players. If we call old blockchain gaming projects like Wolf Game, which have a single gameplay and are more suitable to be defined as "DeFi syntax sugar", "first-generation blockchain games", then the new blockchain gaming projects with rich gameplay and gradually comparable to "traditional games" can already be called "second-generation blockchain games".

SERAPH is the leader in the "second-generation blockchain game" that has received high attention. This dark ARPG is currently undergoing its third round of testing and is so popular that some players are eager to purchase testing activation codes to experience the game as soon as possible. Not only are Web3 players enthusiastic about SERAPH, but the number of Web2 players in this round of testing is 55 times that of Web3 players, showing an amazing "breaking the circle" effect.

What magic does SERAPH possess that drives both Web3 and Web2 players crazy? Let's take a look at where the charm of SERAPH lies!

Game Introduction

SERAPH is a dark-themed APRG game. The game company behind it, Actoz Soft, which is listed in Korea, has released well-known works such as "Millennium", "Legend", and "MapleStory". The overall tone and operation of the game follow the dark style, and its background is set in a dark era that calls for heroes. There are 5 heroes (5 professions, 4 of which are available during the testing period) to choose from. Choose your hero and embark on an adventure journey.

The development of dark style games has always been the expertise and belief of the SERAPH game development team. From 2008 to now, the SERAPH game development team has gradually accumulated rich experience in the development of dark style games.

As a Web3 game, SERAPH has an experienced team in both Web3 technology and market. The Web3 team includes not only DeFi project veterans with up to 5 years of Web3 wallet operation experience, but also outstanding market operation members who have been responsible for the early operation and incubation of well-known projects such as Matr1x.

Game Highlights

SERAPH has a fascinating storyline, diverse gameplay, deep character development, and ever-changing gaming experience.

Engaging storyline

The setting of the game takes place in a world that is in a dark age. In the distant War of Light, the Archangel Saraf used the power of the World Ring to defeat the demons and banish them to hell, allowing humans to live in peace and multiply. However, the blood and tears of the past were gradually forgotten, and the humans, who had forgotten the hard-won peace, began an endless war again. New blood and tears nourished hatred, the Crown of Life was shattered, and the demons returned from hell...

The world is about to collapse, and people are calling for heroes to rebuild faith. Players carry the mission of saving the world.

The main storyline is constantly pushed forward during the players' gameplay, while there are also many side quests that can guide players to explore the full picture of the game world. In the process of helping the small characters in the game, players are also constantly learning about the stories behind them, allowing them to witness the growth of the heroes.

Multiple Gameplays

In the game, players will follow the storyline to explore a vast world, engage in intense battles in dark dungeons full of unknowns, and collect various game props to gradually grow into a hero capable of saving the world. Moreover, the game's unique Web3 economic system provides players with a diverse range of gameplay experience paths.

First of all, SERAPH is a "Free to Play" game that is friendly to all players who love games. Players can experience the complete game content without any cost and receive various rewards during the gameplay. For hardcore players, they can choose to purchase and wear NFT equipment to enter the "Void Realm" instance and obtain "Soul Crystal" rewards.

"Void Realm" Instance

"Soul Stones" are the core and universal assets in the game. Players can use "Soul Stones" to purchase items in the in-game market or set up their own consignment stalls to sell game items. "Soul Stones" are also required to enhance chaotic equipment. Of course, players can also choose to directly sell "Soul Stones" on the market to make a profit, or choose to accumulate "Soul Stones" to enter the "Chaos Realm" dungeon.

"Chaos Secret Realm" Instance

If the "Void Realm" dungeon is SERAPH's daily challenge, then the "Chaos Realm" dungeon is even more hardcore. Entering the "Chaos Realm" dungeon not only requires the consumption of "Soul Crystals", but also non-NFT equipment cannot be used in the dungeon. Of course, the hardcore challenge means more generous rewards. When players successfully challenge the "Chaos Realm", they will receive a treasure chest drop containing NFT equipment fragments, NFT equipment, NFT scrolls, and NFT costumes, among other rewards. These treasure chests are also NFTs, which can be directly opened to obtain rewards or sold on the market.

After completing the main storyline, players can also unlock the "Saraf Trial". The gameplay of "Saraf Trial" is similar to that of "Chaos Realm" and is a hardcore instance. In "Saraf Trial", players need to complete the target killing within the specified time to unlock the next level of challenge. If the boss is killed after the specified time, players can only receive rewards for the current level and cannot enter the next level.

"Saraf Trial" Instance

SERAPH will reward players who rank high on the leaderboard based on the number of levels and time completed in the "Saraf Trial" dungeon. After completing the main storyline of the game, players' journey is not over but rather a new beginning. The ultimate challenge of climbing the "Saraf Trial" dungeon leaderboard still awaits players, where they can fight for glory and rewards.

A variety of game assets allow you to choose to strengthen your equipment, improve your combat effectiveness, complete dungeons faster, and compete for the highest honor on the in-game leaderboard. You can also collect various fashion items in the game to become a "trendsetter", or closely observe the prices of various game assets and profit from price fluctuations as a "trader".

Deep Character Development

The game has a very deep character building mechanism, and players can create unique characters through means such as leveling up, skill trees, and crafting equipment.

Upgrading in the game can earn skill points. When using skill points to upgrade skills, players can choose to upgrade different skills to develop their characters in different genres. Taking the "Witch" profession as an example, players can cultivate their characters into three different genres with unique characteristics: "Frost", "Lightning", or "Fire".

"Frost", "Lightning", or "Flame"

Players can equip their characters with different types of "inlays" to provide different enhancement attributes for their characters. They can also embed "gems", "jewels" or "rune stones" into their equipment to enhance their character's combat power in the form of equipment enhancement.
