Since its inception in 2015, Tatsu Works has had one overarching goal: to grow communities and strengthen worldly relationships. Having built a massive following of over 99,000 strong on their Discord, Tatsumeeko is now moving full-steam ahead to develop their brand new multi-chain, modern fantasy idle MMORPG-lite for iOS, Android, Discord, and Web.
This game promises adventure, monster battles, personalization, and much more – so let’s get into it!
Gameplay
Tatsumeeko is an idle MMORPG-lite designed for adventure and exploration. Build your perfect party and execute combat strategies automatically to earn items, loot, and equipment while AFK!
Exploration Through Stories and Quests
Players explore the world of Ielia via interconnected nodes where they can view their characters and interact with the landscape around them. The main storyline and side quests introduce players to not only the mechanics of the game itself but to its rich lore as well.
Completed storyline missions, side quests, and events will provide rich rewards for players on their adventures! Not only will players be rewarded during these missions, but they will also gain glimpses into the background of different characters in the story.
PVE Combat: Fight Your Friends
Tatsumeeko features an auto-battler for combat engagement controlled by the composition of the player’s party, the character’s attributes, and their equipped skills, which will be utilized automatically in combat. Through careful planning and configuration, players can set up devastating combos on various enemies.
Where Creatures Abound, There’s Loot Around
Ielia is populated with a variety of life, from tame to wild, in hundreds of locations across the Steyrian continent. Players will encounter squads of dangerous monsters during their expeditions. Defeating these ferocious monsters results in loot drops containing valuable materials and more! Tame creatures may also be hunted for loot; the rarer the creature, the better the loot!
If you are looking for even more loot, dungeons and other instanced content can be found while exploring. Loot in these locations may be more valuable, containing items such as experience points, crystal shards, and even the potential for currency. Access to these will cost the player specific time-equivalent resources while providing largely predictable rewards with each attempt.
Expeditions With Friends
Cooperative Expeditions are organized and run by community dimension leaders. Raiding parties will band together as a team to battle different elemental monsters and complete all expedition objectives. And, of course, as a reward for completion, all party members will receive loot and other goodies!
Communities will occasionally experience Dimensional Invasions on their property and will need to band together to protect their space! Not all Dimensional Invasions will be the same; the level of Invasion is proportionate to the average level of active community members. By working together, Dimensional Invaders can be defeated and rewards reaped by the community!
Life Skills and Crafting
Players who love to craft, understand the value of taking the time to learn life skills. While it may be less exciting than exploring, it will ultimately benefit players in a big way through trade and leveling. We’ve mentioned resources and loot a few times — learning Life Skills will help the player by providing them with additional items crafted from materials found along their adventures. These items can be traded with other players or used to increase the user’s overall life skill levels.
Dimensional Travelers: Who are they?
Tatsumeeko features three classes of dimensional travelers: Tank, Support, and DPS. Players will select their desired class when they begin the game, which feels familiar to most gamers; where this game sets itself apart is the player’s ability to change classes to fit their situation. Whether playing solo or joining raiding parties, customizing class combinations in different scenarios is a unique and fantastic feature within Tatsumeeko!
