Lokapala
When I was a highschool student, I found a mobile game that developed by Indonesian developer.
The tittle is Lokapala. I am interested to play it because the characters are based on Indonesian hero and
mythology from Indonesia. This game has genre as MOBA (Multiplayer Online Battle Arena), but I think
this game is unique and different from other MOBA games. There are three most interesting point on this
game, that is the characters, gameplay, and the features.
Firstly, each characters have a background story that based on Indonesian hero or Indonesian
mythology. For example, there is a character named ‘Vijaya’. This character, especially the design are
inspired from the first king during the era of Majapahit Kingdom. Not only that, the developer said they
want to introduce the forgotten heroes to society, so people will know that there are many heroes who
have contributed greatly for this country.
Secondly, the gameplay. Gameplay of this game is actually same as MOBA in general, the way to
win is that both teams must to destroy all of the towers. But, there are several things that make the
gameplay of this game become interesting. For example, there is a feature called ‘Vahana’. Vahana is a
vehicle that makes players move from one place to another quickly. Next, if the match has touched 25
minutes, all of the remaining towers from each team will unite and turn into a golem. Then this golem
will walk to the middle of the map and fight each other until one of the team wins, this thing also what
makes this game different from other MOBA games.
Thirdly, there are some interesting features on this game. For example, we can find a feature
named Bibliotecha. This feature contains the background story from each characters and we can know
from what or who that character inspired, this feature can also increase our knowledge. Furthermore,
every month this game will hold interesting events that if we completed all mission we will get an free
item or a voucher.
All in all, this game has been developed for two years and has experienced very significant
development. The developer said they made this game with just 70 people and they will continue to try
develop this game to be better. With every updates, this game has gotten better and better. Also, next
year, Lokapala is planned to release on Asia server. Now, I still play this game and I hope with these
interesting features and gameplay people on other country will interested to play Lokapala.
