Grand Chase (Korean: 그랜드체이스, lit. Grand Chase) is a free-to-play, two-dimensional side-scrolling MMORPG developed by the South Korean company KOG Studios.Grand Chase has servers in South Korea, Taiwan, Brazil, Philippines, United States, Latin America, Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia. Alternate names for Grand Chase include 3小俠 (Chinese: lit. Three Young Heroes) used on the Taiwan server; however, it has now been changed to 永恆冒險 (Eternal Adventures).
Storyline
The Serdin and Kanavan Kingdoms, the biggest kingdoms on the
Bermesiah Continent, coexisted in peace until their lands were slowly
overcome by the evil Queen of Darkness, Kaze’aze.Kaze’aze managed to infiltrate the Kanavan Kingdom by murdering the Kanavan Queen’s most loyal and trusted retainer, and then disguising herself as him. As a result, Kaze’aze was able to get close to the Queen and entice her with the ways of darkness.
Kaze’aze blinded the Queen of Kanavan’s eyes to truth and led her to wage a five-year war against the Serdin Kingdom. All of Bermesiah Continent was devastated; many heroes fell in battle, and even the Queen of Serdin sacrificed her life in hopes of ending the fighting.
The death of the Queen of Serdin broke Kaze’aze’s hold over the Queen of Kanavan, who, after finally regaining her senses, erupted with fury over Kaze’aze’s treachery. Kaze’aze escaped before the Queen of Kanavan could execute her. This lead the Queen to dispatch Trackers to punish the Queen of Darkness. But after years of searching, she was nowhere to be found and the Queen’s Trackers vanished as well; forcing the Queen of Kanavan to abandon her search.
The Serdin Kingdom experienced a series of bizarre incidents related to Kaze’aze after the Five-Year War: these events revealed that Kaze’aze manipulated the Kanavan and Serdin Kingdoms into fighting each other. The newly appointed Queen of Serdin is now determined to prevent Kaze’aze from starting another war between the two kingdoms for the sake of the entire continent.
The Queen of Serdin has prepared to confront Kaze’aze and counter her evil plans by organizing Grand Chase, an elite corps that will fight for all of Bermesiah.
Background Information
The beginning of the Grand Chase guild started out with a trio of girls: Elesis, Lire, and Arme. This soon expanded to the Druid Ryan, the Spell Knight Ronan, the Fighter Jin, the Thief Lass, the Dancer Amy, the Gladiator Sieghart, the Rune Caster Mari, the and finally the Demons Dio, Zero, Ley, and Rufus. The main goal of the Grand Chase was to hunt down and defeat Kaze'aze, the mastermind, until the Chase realized a greater threat.
Originally, the Chase came about to defeat Kaze'aze, however they realized with even her gone, evil does not cease. Silver Land was influenced by the Black Knight Victor who served under the darkness and betrayed the Silver Knights, the very organization he created. Xenia was devastated when the Ascendant God Thanatos was corrupted with greed and power, and started taking over his land as well as having Victor infecting Silver Land. Archimedia came about when demons from another dimension appeared and created destruction. In Alcubra, a mysterious object called the "Crown of Sands" intrigued the Chase and prompted them to find it.
Gameplay
While gameplay in Grand Chase is primarily keyboard-driven,
the game menu's interface is, by contrast, primarily mouse-driven,
although some in-game key commands may be user-defined. Due to the
combos and special attacks, the game has a feel that is similar to side-scrolling fighting games such as Double Dragon,
while the appearance and design of the backdrops, as well as the
characters and monster, puts the game in an anime-esque setting. While
it is an action game, the designers took care to not make a "button
masher".The game is free-to-play, where players need to earn currency known as Game Points (GP) from completing dungeon quests, individual missions, or defeating other players to buy better equipment and items, but there are some items that can only be purchased with real-world currency. In Grand Chase, players start off role-playing as one of three main heroines (or Sieghart on the Korean server), and will be able to unlock more playable characters by completing specific missions. These missions can be bought with GP or from the cash shop. However, the player may freely switch among the characters he or she has unlocked before entering combat, each with their own specific equipment, skills and experience level.
Experience
After each expedition into a dungeon, characters gain experience points.
While the amount of experience gained is partially dependent on the
player's performance in a dungeon, and the player's character's level,
every player will gain some experience. The player's character is also
given additional experience upon the completion of every mission. When
sufficient experience is obtained, the player's character will advance
by one level. Higher levels improve statistics and grant access to
better equipment. Experience can also be gained through player versus player,
and the amount of experience gained through this game mode is
significantly higher than the amount awarded through the completion of
dungeons at higher level.Dungeon Mode and Parties
When entering a dungeon, a player may form a group of players, also known as a party, to complete it. When choosing a dungeon to play, the player is given the option to create a party of their own or join one created by another player. The creator of the game, known as the host, can regulate whoever joins his or her party by locking the game with a password, or otherwise leave it unprotected, allowing any user to join. He or she is also given the option to kick any player prior to or after the completion of a dungeon. Each dungeon consists of a certain number of floors, or levels, usually with a boss on the final floor.
Items needed to complete quests will automatically be given to the
player at a certain rate after the monster is defeated by any member of
the party. All other items are distributed to different party members by
a "dice" system. When an item is picked up by any party member, each
member of the party rolls their own set of dice; the outcome ranged from
2 to 100. The player with the highest number wins the item. The player
is unable to roll the dice for items if their inventory is full. The
size of the inventory can be increased with +10 and +30 Bags, which can
be acquired by purchasing with Cash or through some Events. To encourage
group play, there is a slight experience boost when working together.
Because each party has a maximum limit of four players, and each player
may freely choose whichever character he or she wants to use, there is a
chance that two or more players will control the same playable
character. However, they can be identified separately through their
screen name.Relay Dungeon
The Relay Dungeon can be entered the same way as a normal dungeon. Up to 4 players may form a party and attempt the Relay Dungeon together. In the Relay Dungeon the player fights through every boss on the Continent in order. The bosses in the Relay Dungeon have increased statistics, making them harder to defeat. After a boss is defeated, a chest opens, which contains many valuable items, including Cash items. Any boss that has been released in a dungeon can be chosen. This mode is only available during certain events.
Player versus Player
Players can also compete against each other in combat. There are two types of player versus player combat in Grand Chase,
Team Battles and Survival, with additional options of choosing between
Tag and Fight, No Item and Item Mode. Win/loss statistics are recorded
for these matches. There is no time limit.
Modes
Team Battles
Team battles consist of two, four, or six players and can be played in one-, two-, and three-a-side formations. Each player is given the option to join either the Serdin Team or Vanna Team, although they cannot change sides during a match. As such, it is theoretically possible for a Team Battle to be unbalanced in terms of the number of players per side; but this is only possible if one of the players disconnects during the loading or leaves in the middle of the game, otherwise the teams must be even in order for the host to start the match. Team battles encourage players to plan their attack strategies and co-operate with one another to defeat the opposing team. Players are unable to harm their teammates.Survival
A mode where anywhere between two to six players battle with the other players until only one player is left alive. The surviving player, once a match is over, is given first place and then it is ordered based on whoever has the most kills. The top ranked half of the Players in the room will get a win (if there is an odd number of players then the number of winners is rounded down). This is done to encourage players to fight instead of hide and run from the others until he or she is the only player left alive aside from the actual winner (the person who fought and survived against all others (the winner in terms of fair play)).Smashing
This mode appears as a special event, usually centered around holidays like Halloween and Christmas. This mode is generally considered the same for all special events. The only difference in this event is the target of the "smashing". For example at Christmas the target of the smashing might be a snowman and for Halloween the player might be asked to smash pumpkins. When smashing, two teams attempt to smash the special seasonal items that belong to the opposing team. The team who accomplishes this first wins the game. However, like Team Battles, the opposing teams can be unbalanced. Players are still allowed to kill other players in this mode. However, it should be noted that every player in a smashing event has unlimited lives during the event and if a player is killed he or she will respawn after a 3 second countdown.Honor Guard
This mode is essentially a team battle where one member of each team is randomly selected as a 'Warlord' upon the start of the match, shown by a red/blue marker. The aim of the game is to successfully defeat the opposing team's Warlord twice before your own is beaten. Warlords are given double regular stats to help defend themselves from the opposing team, while other players have stats equal to each other. Furthermore, a Warlord has only two lives, whereas other players can respawn after defeat endlessly. Should a Warlord be defeated once, the other team's Warlord suffers from a drastically lowered level of defense for 10 seconds. As well, warlords cannot regenerate health. Similar to the Smashing modes, respawn time is increased to 5 seconds for all players.Tag Match
Tag Match allows players to play with two characters of their choice. By pressing a button, they can switch characters during the course of a fight. However, if one of the characters is killed, the player can no longer switch to that character. Then the player is automatically switched to their other character.Item Mode
When Item Mode is turned on, power ups will be dropped onto the battlefield at regular intervals throughout the match and can be used by the player that picks them up. These power ups grant the player special abilities, such as invisibility or invincibility, for a short duration of time. Each player can store up to three power ups at any time and use them in any order they wish. If a player is killed while holding items, the items are dropped and available to be picked up by another player.Website: http://www.grandchase.co.id
