Illuvium

Features of the game Illuvium

Illuvium is a multiplayer “AAA” online game on the Ethereum network of the second layer and Immutable X technology, offering gameplay unique to its category of games, which includes autochess, exploration and building strategy, creating a single game that is suitable for many users from different genres. In this article we will look at the main features and mechanics of this game.

Plot

In the world of Illuvium, the player will take on the role of a passenger on board a transport ship that flies to the signal of an emergency beacon. Upon arrival, he discovers a destroyed planet and now he has to find out the reasons for the activation of the emergency beacon, due to which you ended up on this planet. On the surface of the earth, the player discovers mysterious creatures – illuvials. Strange creatures with abilities that your race is just beginning to master. While exploring the emergency beacon, you find a codex called Illuviary, which describes creatures from all corners of this planet, but at the time of receiving the codex, all the creatures on it are blocked and in order to unlock them you will have to collect them all (Pokémon immediately comes to mind). Illuvials appear in the game as NFTs. You can become a hunter and collect all the unique Illuvials using crystal shards, which you can also get on this planet. Illuvials are creatures with unique properties, classes and belonging to various elements.

Combat system

One of the features of Illuvium is the auto-chess combat system. Battles take place in real time and require strategic thinking. The developers sometimes feed us a little information on PvP, but to get it in full form, it’s worth waiting for the test. Based on the information that we have at the moment, we can judge that players, as in other games of the auto-chess genre, will have to think about the placement of their illuvials to achieve maximum efficiency for attacking the enemy. In addition to correct placement, it is also important to have strong units with good synergy among themselves in order to achieve victory in battles.

Classes, multiclasses and elements

The game has a system of classes and multiclasses, as well as elements of illuvials, which allows you to approach your combinations of illuvials more flexibly.

At the moment it is known that the game will have 5 main classes and 5 main elements.

The main classes include:

• Fighter (Warrior)
• Bulwark (Tank)
• Rogue (Assassin)
• Psion (Mage)
• Empath (Support)

Upon reaching certain milestones, they will be able to take on an additional class, turning into a multiclass. At the moment we know about 15 multiclasses such as:

• Empath (Support)
• Berserker (Fighter/Fighter)
• Dreadnaught (Bulwark/Fighter)
• Slayer (Fighter/Rogue)
• Arcanite (Psion/Fighter)
• Templar (Empath/Fighter)
• Colossus (Bulwark/Bulwark)
• Harbinger (Bulwark/Psion)
• Aegis (Bulwark/Empath)
• Phantom (Rogue/Psion)
• Invoker (Psion/Psion)
• Behemoth (Bulwark/Rogue)
• Predator (Rogue/Rogue)
• Revenant (Empath/Rogue)
• Enchanter (Psion/Empath)
• Mystic (Empath/Empath)

Elements, like classes, have basic elements, namely:

• Air
• Nature
• Fire
• Earth
• Water

Just as multiclasses have their own combinations within the illuvial itself, which greatly influence the outcome of the battle, so the elements have their own development capabilities, here are a few known combinations at the moment:

Here’s a good example:

Drone and resources

To successfully develop his progress, the player needs to use a drone- a smart gadget that helps store illuvials and participate in battles, but its functions are not limited to this. The drone can mine various resources on the planet’s surface and transform them into something useful. Some resources can be used to create weapons, armor and upgrade creatures. Other resources can be sold at a profit, which will help the player earn in-game currency.

Capturing Illuvials and Crystal Shards

To capture the Illuvials, the player needs powerful crystal shards, which have a random quality and strength when mined from the ground, so the player should be provided with powerful shards before setting out on the journey. The higher the power of the shard, the more rare and valuable it is, depending on the power of the shard you can capture rarer Iluvials. The shards themselves can also be purchased on the in-game exchange.

ILV Token and Economic Opportunities

The main currency of the Illuvium game is the ILV token. It is used to reward players for progress in the game, and can be earned in PvP or PvE battles by completing quests and other in-game activities. ILV tokens can be used to purchase additional items, characters, and participate in the game’s economic system.

If a player fights an illuvial against another player, they can win tokens. These awards are locked for a year.

There is a second in-game token called “sILV” that allows users to bypass the year-long wait to unlock their ILV rewards. sILV can be used to purchase gaming assets.

The distribution of ILV tokens is as follows:

Pre-Seed: 500,000

Seed: 1.5 million

Team: 1.5 million

Treasury: 1.5 million

Launchpad: 1 million

Profitable farming (in game): 3 million

Game rewards: 1 million

All tokens have already been distributed, with the exception of tokens for income farming and game rewards. Tokens have long lock-up periods over several years, and yield farming has received most of the supply. Yield farming is designed for players who stake their tokens, and the team has released an updated version of their staking platform. In-game rewards are not active yet as the game has not been released to the general public.

Illuvium Board and Community Engagement

The Illuvium Council is a group of ILV token holders who determine the game’s future, governance models and improvement proposals. The Council is elected by coin holders and has the ability to influence the economic aspects of the game, rewards, NFTs and other perks.

Illuvium beta

Illuvium has not yet been released, but users can access the beta version. Illuvium’s release date was planned for the first quarter of 2022, but was pushed back and there is currently no clarity regarding the release date. At the moment, the beta version can be played by a limited number of players.

If a player wants to access the game, they must fill out a registration form for the closed beta, the Illuvium private beta requires registration and approval.

Private beta registration requires information such as discord username, computer specs, video card, and email address. This allows the Illuvium team to process beta testers with PC configurations that can support the game.

Conclusion

Illuvium is a AAA multiplayer tactical combat game that could be a game-changer for GameFi. The economic aspects, earning opportunities, and community involvement make this game especially interesting for gamers and NFT collectors. If you’re looking for a new world to explore and adventure in, Illuvium is a great choice!

The varied gameplay and symbiosis of 3 modes with the ability to capture illuvials in the game makes the game multifaceted and will probably make players come into the game not for monotonous tasks, but for pleasant emotions, the spirit of competition, collecting and, of course, earning money.
