Legendary: Heroes Unchained

Overview

Legendary Heroes Unchained (LHU) is the first game to build a dynamic gaming ecosystem where players and creators fully own, shape, and expand their experiences. Built on the Base network, LHU’s NFTs are securely backed on IPFS, providing decentralized ownership with extensible metadata that can be used in players’ own projects and games.

In Epoch 1, players dive into dungeon explorations, interdimensional battles, and Guild-building, laying the foundation for a collaborative world that grows with each new epoch. Future features like mintable land, Guild capitals, staking, and community governance will further immerse players in a game that evolves alongside its community. LHU’s vision reaches beyond traditional gaming, enabling token holders to create new games, stories, and experiences with open-source components, customizable metadata, and fully owned assets. This ecosystem invites players to transform their LHU heroes into an entire universe of their own making.

Gameplay

In Legendary Heroes Unchained Epoch 1, players embark on a thrilling journey, honing their skills in dungeon exploration, interdimensional battles, and strategic Guild-building:

Dungeon Exploration: Players journey through ever-changing roguelike dungeons filled with formidable enemies and valuable rewards. Each environment presents unique challenges, hazards, and loot, providing resources essential for hero progression and customization through the hero fusion system.

Hero Collection and Customization: As a hero-centric on-chain game, LHU allows players to acquire, level up, and customize a diverse array of unique heroes. Each hero possesses distinct stats, abilities, and affinities, enabling players to build strategic teams. Progression lets players personalize and enhance their heroes, crafting powerful allies for the journey ahead.

Interdimensional Battles: Beyond dungeon runs, players engage in interdimensional battles, challenging other players and NPCs. These battles emphasize team strategy and hero synergy, offering opportunities to earn rewards, stake heroes for in-game bonuses, and climb daily event leaderboards.

Guild Formation and Collaboration: Community is central to LHU. Players can join or establish guilds, pooling resources and strategies to compete for leaderboard positions, where exclusive, limited-edition NFT rewards await. These achievements provide a head start into Epoch 2, where guilds can stake tokens, mint land, and establish domains. As LHU evolves into Epoch 3, guilds will face intense inter-guild wars. By Epoch 4, a guild’s dominance and domain will shape the broader ecosystem, with DAO governance empowering members to influence the future of LHU, creating unique, player-driven game versions made available by open-sourcing parts of the core game.

NFTs and Blockchain

Legendary: Heroes Unchained boasts non-fungible token (NFT) Heroes with immutable Traits that are permanent and unalterable. Each Hero's unique Stats, Skills, and battle mechanics are determined by these Traits. As the game progresses, the Heroes' Level and Evolution Tier become permanent properties of their NFTs. When purchasing a Hero from the Marketplace, the Hero's Level and Evolution Tier are transferred to the new owner. Heroes enter the game ecosystem through Drops and begin at Level 1 and Evolution Tier I. Through gameplay and progression, Heroes can level up, evolve, and increase in power.

Each Hero is introduced to the ecosystem with a fixed Print Run, with the Rarity Trait dictating the number of copies available in the ecosystem. Rarer Heroes have a smaller number of copies available. To enable all players to enjoy LHU for free, a limited number of Starter Heroes that are not NFTs are available. These Heroes can be leveled and evolved but cannot be traded or owned. The Starter Heroes allow players to begin playing the game without committing to purchasing their first NFT.

Recent Development

Legendary: Heroes Unchained is transitioning to Base, an Ethereum Layer 2 network, enhancing the game's scalability, security, and transaction efficiency. This move is part of the v3.0 update, featuring a revamped guild system with new roles, guild currencies, and a sigil maker for customization. Players will also encounter upgraded artifact mechanics, two new biomes (Tundra and Underworld), and exclusive Champions of Korelis NFTs for high-ranking competitors. Early access was started on September 24th, offering unique opportunities for allowlist and loyalty pass holders​.
