What Arknights is and who it suits

Arknights is a strategy RPG set at Rhodes Island, a pharmaceutical company caught between a deadly infection and the unrest that follows it. You play as a key member of the company, working alongside the leader Amiya.

It suits players who want tactical planning combined with character-based RPG progression. The game is rated PEGI 16 and sits in the Strategy category.

Recruiting, training and deploying Operators

Operators are the characters you build your squad from. The listing describes hundreds of them spread across a variety of classes, and each class opens different ways to approach a fight.

You recruit Operators, train them, then assign them to operations. The developer says your choice of Operators and tactics shapes how each mission plays out.

Auto Deploy and running missions

Auto Deploy is a system that handles deployment for you during operations, so you do not have to place each unit yourself. The developer presents it as a way to free your hands for other decisions.

Missions are the main activity, and they centre on protecting ordinary people from those trying to plunge the world into turmoil.

Building your Rhodes Island base

The Base construction system lets you set up a base at Rhodes Island and arrange it the way you want. It is the part of the game for decorating and organising your space rather than fighting.

Base building sits alongside recruitment and missions, so the same Operators you train can be used within the base.

Art, music and voice acting

The game uses an anime visual style, and the developer describes the soundtrack as robust. Voice acting comes from several well-known Japanese actors and actresses, who voice the story and characters.

These elements are presented as the game's audio and visual identity rather than separate features you switch on.
