Arknights Is a free-to-play mobile game with tactical RPG and tower defense elements produced by Chinese developer Hypergryph. The world of Arknights, known as Terra, is set in a post-apocalyptic setting where natural disasters, known as Catastrophes, ravage the land and leave behind a valuable material known as Originium. In Arknights, players take on the role of a researcher and field commander known only as the Doctor, who at the time of the game's start, has a very severe case of amnesia. As they are thrust into the heat of combat, the player must coordinate a number of humanoid characters with animal or mythological features known as "operators" of Rhodes Island, a pharmaceuticals company that also has acts as a self-defense organization with its own private army. Operators can contribute to battles in a variety of ways, whether it may through melee or ranged combat, the healing/support of other operators, and the use of magic known as "Arts".
Arknights was released in China on the 1st of May 2019, globally on the 16th of January 2020, and in Taiwan on the 29th of June of the same year. Because of this, the Arknights r/place community, also known as Arknights Nomadic, only had a presence in the r/place 2022 canvas. The community is also a member group of the Gacha Alliance.
