A major turning point of the story gets introduced in Chapter 9, which ends in a cliffhanger. Chapter 10 has two parts; In the first part, the chapter picks up what happened after the events of Chapter 9's ending, which slowly turns into another turning point, the second half of the chapter, labeled as Chapter X: The Final, which leads to the epic showdown between a new ally and a lurking threat that slowly emerged from the shadows. After the threat has been dealt with, the two leading characters set on a new journey that brings peace to them after the perilous events in Orvel. In the second season of the story line, the players explore the events that happen in the Vespian Empire that got introduced in Season 1, along with the prologue stories that are part of the new King's Raid: Reload update.

The game is described as "character collection SRPG" that allows players to create their party with characters of their own choice without the gacha system, real time PVP arena, and various type of raid battles. It features real-time battles with 3D graphics. As of September 22, 2017, the game also supports other languages such as French, German, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Thai, and Vietnamese. The game also supports voice dubs in English and Korean. The Japanese server, voice, and language was added to the game on March 23, 2018. There are several playable characters called "heroes" that players can acquire through in-app purchase, hero tickets, gifting NPC heroes, or building a friendship at the inn. These heroes are divided into 7 classes (knights, warriors, assassins, archers, mechanics, wizards, and priests), 2 types of attacks (physical and magical), and initial grades that can be increased through awakening. Players can assemble a party made of 4 heroes who are able to cover the front line, middle line, and/or the back line. In some modes like world boss raid, player can make an 8-character party (though, 4 of these are automatically controlled).
