Storyline

Arknights: Endfield takes place on a moon called "Talos-II", and the player takes upon the role of the "Endministrator" of the titular "Endfield Industries" corporation. The moon Talos-II was colonized 152 years prior to the beginning of the game's story by pioneers from Terra, the planet that serves as the setting of the previous game, accessing it through a dimensional portal known as an "Cosmic Gate." The portal was destroyed five years after the colonization of the moon during the Aggeloi War, leaving the Terran pioneers stranded on Talos-II and eventually building their own civilizations. Several concepts, factions and characters from Arknights appear, such as Originium, an energy-rich mineral enabling the use of special pseudo-magical abilities called "Arts", and "Rhodes Island", the pharmaceutical corporation which the player character belonged to in Arknights. Similarly to Terra, Talos-II is a world of natural disasters known as "Catastrophes", most notably a dangerous supernatural disaster called "Corruption", which causes distorted environments and abnormal physical phenomena in the affected areas. Much of Talos-II is wilderness and no-man's land. An endemic species of creatures called "Aggeloi" act as the primary threat to civilization; while armed raiders known as "Landbreakers" live in the fringes of society making a living off scavenging and crime. The pioneers belong to different nations and organizations, cooperating and competing with each other on a regular basis. With the resumption of the exploration of the ruins by the major powers of Talos-II, the Protocol Recycling Department was rebuilt under the leadership of Endfield Industries' Superintendent Perlica. The Endfield Engineering Center has integrated a large number of prototype equipment from the Protocol Recycling Department and successfully developed the "Automated Industry Complex". In order to prove the reliability of the system's transmission technology, the Protocol Recycling Department chose "Valley No. 4", the most barren area of Talos-II, as its target, attempting to use it as the basis for its gradual exploration outwards.

Gameplay

Arknights: Endfield is a real-time 3D action role-playing game with strategic elements. Unlike the original Arknights, which features tower defense mechanics, Endfield introduces a semi-open world experience with base-building and strategic management elements. The core mechanism of combat is the combo skill system. Players control a four-member team simultaneously, with the ability to switch between characters during battle, each of which has unique skills and abilities. Combat operates through a semi-real-time system where players can switch control between different characters, utilizing skill combinations and tactical coordination to defeat enemies. The system includes multiple attack types: basic attacks, tactical skills, combo skills, and ultimate abilities. Basic attacks are further divided into normal attack, drop attack, final attack (of a sequence), and execution/finisher moves. The four-member team shares three skill gauges, and any operator can consume one to use a tactical skill. The skill gauges recharge over time, and operators not under direct control perform only basic attacks. Heavy hits from basic attacks can directly add segments to the skill gauge and increase enemy imbalance values. When an enemy's imbalance gauge fills completely, they enter an imbalanced state, taking increased damage and the next heavy attack becomes an execution attack. This imbalanced state lasts temporarily before disappearing, requiring players to re-accumulate imbalance through strategic combat. Endfield features a base-building system that combines exploration with resource management and aspects of a factory simulation, similar to those found in games like Factorio or Satisfactory. Players harvest resources from remote mining nodes connected by custom ziplines, refine and process materials at specific machines, and route them through conveyor belts for crafting. The system requires budgeting and routing electricity, assigning inputs and outputs, and managing various ore types. Developers have stated they aim for an 50:50 ratio between RPG elements and factory building portions, but players may customize their gameplay balance according to their personal…
