Illuvium offers a captivating blend of collectible NFT RPG and auto-battler elements, immersing players in an expansive open-world experience teeming with over 100 unique creatures known as Illuvials. In this alien world, players mine, harvest, discover, capture, and engage in battles to dominate the land.
The Illuvium Overworld serves as the RPG component of the franchise, where players embark on a journey to explore seven towering regions of the continent. Their mission: to capture Illuvials while unraveling the planet's mysteries. Energy is key during exploration, as players must manage it wisely to avoid being sent back to the central hub. Encounter Illuvials, however, comes at the cost of energy.
To capture an Illuvial, players need a shard, but success isn't guaranteed. The quality of the shard and the player's luck determine the outcome. Captured Illuvials become valuable NFT additions to the player's collection. Additionally, players customize their characters and select a Polymorphic Subordinate Drone (PSD), a crucial companion capable of mining minerals, crafting items, and collecting resources.
The Overworld presents numerous opportunities for adventurous players to capture rare and powerful Illuvials, offering lucrative rewards. Yet, as the captured population increases, capturing Illuvials becomes more challenging, preventing overpopulation and adjusting capture rates accordingly. Moreover, encountering rare Illuvials becomes increasingly rare over time, adding depth and challenge to the gameplay experience.
