On June 14, 2024, Starship Launchpad announced its second project to launch tokens on the platform, named Legend of Arcadia. The goal of Legend of Arcadia is to provide users with a seamless experience featuring exciting elements.
What is Legend of Arcadia?
Legend of Arcadia is a tactical card game NFT inspired by the popular Web2 game Kingdom Hearts. Arcadia combines blockchain technology and is developed under a play-to-earn mechanism, offering free gaming experiences along with valuable rewards.
On June 14, 2024, Legend of Arcadia became the second project launched on Starship Launchpad.
Gameplay of Legend of Arcadia
The story of Legend of Arcadia takes place in the toy world of Arcadia, a continent created by Dr. Oliver. Under Dr. Oliver’s leadership, the toy inhabitants of Arcadia often endure intense working conditions, creating conflicts between the two sides.
Players take on the role of training a team of up to 5 characters (5 NFT Heroes) to engage in battles. Throughout participation, players must collect additional items to upgrade characters, enhance strength, and achieve victory.
The NFT Heroes are divided into four types, each with unique skills and strategies:
- NFT Toy Hero
- NFT Gatcha Balls
- NFT Toy Hero Recast
- NFT Toy Hero Upgrade
Since characters will automatically fight using their inherent skills, the key to winning the game lies in building a suitable team.
Besides the main task of participating in battles, the game also offers various activities that help users earn rewards:
- Completing daily quests to earn rewards
- Solving complex mazes to unlock treasures
- Exploring new lands to collect rewards
- Mining materials

In-game Assets
Legend of Arcadia features three main types of assets: NFT Hero, White Ore, and Obsidian.
When players first join Legend of Arcadia, they will be given a free NFT Hero representing their character in the game. These NFTs initially possess only basic skills, and players must upgrade their Heroes to increase their chances of winning.
Alternatively, players can acquire veteran NFT Heroes with advanced skills by purchasing them from other players, saving time in the process.
Regarding White Ore and Obsidian, players will receive these assets after winning battles and participating in various in-game activities. White Ore and Obsidian are crucial assets, as players combine them to mint the project’s token, ARCA. This token is considered a reward for the players.
Game Modes
Legend of Arcadia features two main game modes: Story Mode (Player versus Environment – PvE) and Arena Mode (Player versus Player – PvP).
PvE is where new players begin to explore the world of Arcadia, aiming to expand their experience and collect the following rewards:
- Energy: Used to mine White Ore
- EXP: Used to upgrade NFT Heroes
- Gear Items: Improve skills and increase the strength of NFT Heroes
There are four missions players can participate in within PvE:
- Adventure: Engage in battles with bots to earn Energy and EXP. The purpose of this mode is to help players understand the skills, strengths, and weaknesses of each character.
- Mining: An activity to mine White Ore, allowing players to use NFT Heroes for excavation.
- Labyrinth: Allows players to explore and solve complex mazes to earn Energy, EXP, and in-game items (Gear Items).
- Lottery: A lucky draw activity with Obsidian as the reward.
PvP Game Mode
PvP is a direct competition mode where participants face off against each other to win. The PvP arenas include three types:
- Arena: This arena is unlocked after players complete Chapter 3 in the Arena activity of PvE mode. In this arena, players can challenge each other and earn Obsidian as a reward.
- World Boss: This mode allows players to battle against monstrous creatures, also known as final bosses. To participate in this arena, NFT Heroes need to possess high-level skills and items to have a chance at victory. After winning, players receive Boss Points. Boss Points can be used to exchange for items in the Boss Point Shop, including ASTRO Packs, ASTRO EXP, and Obsidian.
- Toy Brawl: This mode allows players to participate in tournaments with a betting nature. If victorious, players receive White Ore as a reward.

About the Arcadia RuneQuest Event
Currently, Legend of Arcadia has not yet launched the game to the community. However, the project has developed the Arcadia RuneQuest program for early users.
Arcadia RuneQuest is an airdrop event built on the X Layer network, allowing users to participate and earn Gatcha points. Gatcha points are used to calculate future airdrop token ARCA points.
The activities in Arcadia RuneQuest are relatively simple, such as: following the project’s X account, interacting with Tweets, and more.
Note: Users need to prepare some OKB tokens to cover gas fees for activities on Arcadia RuneQuest.
Additionally, if users hold the NFT Sword of Grandia, their accumulated reward points will be multiplied by 12.
