[ZYY Runescape]Chronicle: RuneScape Legends Preview - Deck Building In Lovely Gi

Posted by esogoldforsale on February 19th, 2016

You'd be forgiven for thinking Chronicle was RS Gold's answer to Hearthstone. It's a collectible card game where you build decks for RuneScape characters, play minions, equip weapons, and compete against opponents in ten minute matches. Yet even with these elements, Chronicle feels fresh and new. It manages to subtly twist the systems we've seen in multiple CCGs into a unique narrative experience - one I didn't want to stop playing even after my brief time playing.

Chronicle: RuneScape Legends is about guiding Legends on complete, ten-minute campaigns across the RuneScape setting. Players must assemble and play decks of enemies, allies, and power-ups which form your encounters in each region of Gielinor. Where Chronicle differs from most CCGs is you're not trying to dominate opponents - you're playing to strengthen yourself. The ultimate goal is to create a challenging, but rewarding adventure which improves your character before they enter a final battle with their rival.

A Chronicle match unfolds over the course of five chapters, each of which lets you play up to four cards. Enemy cards must be defeated in combat, but reward, gold, health, or permanent attack bonuses upon victory. Once you earn enough gold, you can spend them on ally and weapon cards which provide bonuses without a combat exchange. The order you play these cards in is crucial - you'll need a weapon or significant attack bonuses before taking on powerful boss characters. It's also important to balance rewards from low-level enemies who are easy to defeat with those from strong foes who carve away huge portions of your health.

Your own personal adventure isn't Chronicle's only consideration - there's also a rival player to account for. Rivals are online opponents who complete the adventure alongside you, and will be your final boss on the last chapter. They'll fight enemies, upgrade personal abilities, or directly influence your own game. Many card effects can reduce a rival's gold or health, destroy weapons, and spark brief combat exchanges. This could throw an unexpected wrench into your adventure, leaving you without enough gold to play an ally -Deadman Gold or without your weapon just before facing a deadly beast.
