Sdorica

• Developer — Rayark • Publisher — Rayark • Platforms — * iOS • Android • Released — April 19, 2018

Characters are divided into three classes: support, attack, and defense. Each character has three corresponding skills or attacks, relating to the number of orbs matched in the bottom of the screen. Players build teams of three characters, one of each class. Depending on what content is played, characters may be locked rather than freely chosen for challenges or storylines. There are two slots in the team for advisors, which provide passive or active abilities that affect the entire team. Two rows of orbs corresponding to class colors (white, purple, and yellow for support, attack, and defense, respectively), fill the bottom of the screen with advisor abilities along the sides. The combat is turn-based, with enemies having a number above their head representing the amount of actions before their attack. The game is played through a single-player campaign; however, players are able to join guilds with other players that allow for messaging, donations, in-game markets, and guild-specific rewards and challenges. The game is progressed through chapter stages, with each stage having three waves of enemies or one final boss to defeat, with interluding dialogue.

Sdorica is set in the fictional continent of Vendacti where players act as Watchers, or keepers of history. It initially follows the story of Angelia, the princess of the Sun Kingdom, as she prepares to take the throne from her late father. She is joined by Naya, a security officer, Pang, a traveler from the East Alliance, and Tica, a Rune Academy student. After meeting with Chieftain Crushfang and Dagger, two bears ruling nearby caves, Angelia is kidnapped and rescued by Naya and another officer, Sione, and goes into hiding in the Slums. Tica meets a girl named Leah while on a mission for the Rune Academy and they work together to find a magical seed. In the Slums, Angelia and Naya meet and Nigel and Hyacinth, as well as Lio, Leah's twin brother. They fight off void monsters, where Hyacinth is bitten and dies of her wounds. After receiving intelligence from Yamatsuki, a friend of Nigel, he finds out Angelia's real identity as the princess and confronts her over the current king, Theodore and his plans to make a flying castle, and they plan to head to the desert. Dagger meets Roger, Kittyeyes, and Nolva, and they head to a doctor to treat the void disease that Roger has. Aosta, the doctor, is able to treat Roger, and they stay in a nearby village. Pang enters Maple Lake and meets Yan-Bo, who he asks to train with. Yan-Bo declines, and Pang confronts his past indecisions by stopping Hestia and Karnulla from killing each other.
