Recently, Kingnet has forged a partnership with Shuzhi Interaction, a subsidiary of Fuyun Technology. The collaborative effort between these entities aims to bring forth a globally themed survival strategy game centered on an alien apocalypse, aptly named Codename: Dungeon. <div class="media-wrap image-wrap"><img src="https://officialwebsite-static.kingnet.com/20240131144804-1.png"/></div>The steam-based civilization on the extraterrestrial planet faces a dire threat from a radiation-intensive meteorite. Simultaneously, the meteorite alters the planet&#x27;s climate, giving rise to three apocalyptic zones on the surface: a desert, an ice sheet, and a red reef. These environmental challenges align with players&#x27; survival and developmental requirements, propelling the narrative of civilization continuity. The players will face fierce competition for resources as they advance through the steam, combustion, and electrical eras. <div class="media-wrap image-wrap"><img src="https://officialwebsite-static.kingnet.com/20240131144804-2.png"/></div>The fundamental gameplay structure of Codename: Dungeon comprises two essential components: dungeon simulation management and surface exploration. The game seamlessly integrates elements of tower defense and SLG, catering to both novice players and those seeking a long-term gaming experience. Distinguishing itself from other CokLike games, Codename: Dungeon introduces an expansive SLG map, where exploration and resource collection necessitate the utilization of &quot;modified vehicles,&quot; each with distinct performance attributes that directly impact the number of heroes engaged in battle. Consequently, the iterative enhancement of vehicles becomes a persistent goal for players. This dual approach to human and vehicular training bears a resemblance to the starship system of Star Trek Fleet Command, a popular game in Europe and the United States. Anticipated for a mid-2024 launch, Codename: Dungeon promises a dynamic and engaging gaming experience.
