Overview

Knights Chronicle Overview

Knights Chronicle is a free-to-play 3D mobile MMORPG for Android and iOS from Netmarble, a Korean developer known for titles like Marvel Future Fight, ChronoBlade, and Seven Knights. At its core, it is a party-based adventure where you move through a vibrant fantasy world, complete objectives across maps, and fight constant waves of enemies as the campaign steadily opens up more stages and challenges.

Combat is built around turn-based encounters, with each hero bringing a set of skills that can be rotated for damage, utility, or survivability depending on the situation. The game leans heavily into spectacle, giving many abilities distinctive animations that help sell the impact of ultimates and high-rarity characters. Progression revolves around collecting heroes, strengthening them through upgrades, and evolving them over time so your roster can keep pace with tougher content.

For players who prefer group play, Knights Chronicle also supports cooperative battles. You can team up with as many as five friends for real-time action in co-op dungeons, turning the usual solo stage grind into a more social experience where roles and timing can matter more.

Knights Chronicle Key Features:

  • Turn-Based RPG Combat – take on enemies and boss encounters by choosing skills in a turn order, rewarding smart decision-making and good team composition.
  • Co-operative Battles – party up with up to five friends for real-time co-op, aimed at clearing demanding dungeons together.
  • Variety of Heroes – collect heroes across different rarities and styles, then develop them to expand your options for party building.
  • Unleash Powerful Skills – use character abilities to exploit weaknesses and swing fights, with dramatic attack sequences that emphasize big moments.
  • Colorful Anime Graphics – explore a 3D world with anime-styled character designs, paired with expressive 2D portraits.
