Riot Forge has finally revealed the gameplay of Ruined King: A League of Legends Story. It is a single-player, turn-based RPG that will take players deep into the world of Runeterra and uncover Bilgewater and the Shadow Isles’ mysteries.
World
According to the developers, players will be able to explore the world of Runeterra. You can navigate through the streets of Bilgewater and uncover the mysterious dungeons located in the Shadow Isles. Throughout your journey, you will encounter various puzzles, secrets, and traps. You will also have to get through new enemies and monsters that will be roaming around the area.
You can interact and chat with friendly NPCs or initiate combat with enemies. Each champion in the game features two Dungeon Skills, which they can use to initiate a combat in the dungeons. Players can also use these skills to interact with creatures and their surroundings while exploring various locations. There will also be puzzles and secrets in the game that can only be solved with specific champions.
Gameplay
As seen in the trailer, the champions that will be featured in Ruined King: A League of Legends Story include Ahri, Miss Fortune, Yasuo, Braum, Illaoi, and Pyke. Unlike in League of Legends, the game uses a turn-based lane initiative combat system. This means that champions will take turns casting their abilities. Champions also have passive abilities and can use items during a battle.

- Attack Power
- Armor Penetration
- Critical Chance
- Critical Damage
- Evade
