Oz: Broken Kingdom is an immersive strategy and role-playing game inspired by L. Frank Baum's world.
Gameplay and Storyline
In Oz: Broken Kingdom, players are transported to the famous world of Oz, but with a twist. Notably, the familiar characters such as the scarecrow, the lion, and the tin man are involved in much darker adventures. The game's aesthetic and setting veer away from the sweetness and innocence of the original versions, providing a fresh, engaging perspective.
The game involves strategic turn-based combat, requiring players to complete different challenges. The combat system is based on a deck of cards that players must manage, considering unique characteristics, mana cost, and game turns for each card. The game doesn't shy away from its similarities to other well-known strategy games like Hearthstone, with many of the game menus and elements appearing to be reminiscent of such games.
Character Classes and Abilities
At the start of a battle, players can select a character with special abilities that correspond to a certain class. Each of the Oz characters represents a different class: the scarecrow is akin to a mage, while the lion resembles a strong warrior. As players progress and level up, they can add new cards to their deck, enhancing their effects and making them more powerful.
Production Value and Monetization
Despite being a free game, Oz: Broken Kingdom boasts impressive production value. The game's business model relies on in-app purchases, allowing players to expedite improvements or add new, superior cards instantly. These purchases eliminate the need to participate continuously in the extensive story mode or other alternative events like arena battles or limited-time fights. However, players who prefer not to spend can follow the yellow brick road and progress through the game by completing challenges and leveling up.
