The provided source material details promotional activities for the video game Aura Kingdom: Impact, focusing on pre-registration and veteran reward programmes. These programmes offer digital in-game items and rewards to players who sign up or return to the game, operating as promotional incentives rather than traditional product samples. The information is derived from official promotional pages and community databases related to the game's launch and updates.
Pre-Registration Programme
A pre-registration campaign was active for Aura Kingdom: Impact, allowing players to sign up in advance of the game's release. By completing the pre-registration, participants received a unique referral link. This referral system was structured to reward players with escalating in-game items based on the number of friends they successfully recruited. The specific referral milestones and associated rewards are as follows:
- Invite 1 person: Custom Head - Magic Top Hat
- Invite 5 people: Back - Aura Kingdom Cross
- Invite 10 people: Muramasa's Key of Gaia
The programme also included a tiered milestone system for the overall pre-registration numbers. Rewards were promised once global pre-registration targets were reached, and these could be claimed by logging into the game after its official release. The documented milestones were 100,000, 200,000, 500,000, 800,000, and 1,000,000 registrations. The specific rewards for each milestone were not detailed in the provided source material.
Veteran Gift Pack
A separate programme was available for returning players, described as "Former Envoys of Gaia." This initiative was designed to reward veteran players for returning to experience the new 'Funnel Gun' feature. The offer included an "Eidolon ~ Activation" reward and "Aura Kingdom 5000 Loyalty Points." The source material states that these rewards would be distributed via redemption codes after the game's launch. This programme is presented as an incentive for lapsed players to re-engage with the game, rather than a sample of a physical product.
Game Context and Features
The promotional materials for Aura Kingdom: Impact describe it as a game set in the world of Azuria. Key features highlighted include the use of "Eidolons," which are described as powerful companion warriors that players can call upon for combat assistance. The game emphasizes combat mechanics that involve teaming up with these companions for "spectacular combos." The art style is noted for its "stunning art," which includes detailed characters, monsters, and landscapes. The game also offers multiple methods of travel within its world. The source material includes a brief, repetitive description of a character known as the "Dragon King of Doom," whose origin is described as mysterious. Another class mentioned is the Paladin, described as a heavily armored combat strategist who uses a sword, armor, and shield as weapons to withstand attacks and support their team.
Database and Update Information
A separate source, AuraKingdom-DB, is identified as a database for the game. It serves as a resource for game information and has been updated regularly with game patches. The database's update log shows a history of updates corresponding to game patches, with entries from 2018 to 2019. These updates included fixes for map coordinate displays, error corrections, and the addition of new features such as an "Adventure Encyclopedia" tab for items exchanged through that system. The database also noted instances where patch notes were partially translated, such as the omission of the 41st floor of a specific dungeon in the translated notes.
Platform and Distribution
The promotional activities for Aura Kingdom: Impact are linked to the Steam platform, a digital distribution service for video games. The game's Steam store page and community features were used to promote the pre-registration and wishlist campaigns. The source material includes references to Steam's interface, such as the ability to add the game to a wishlist and access news updates. The Steam platform supports a wide range of languages, as indicated by the extensive list of language options available for the store and community pages. This indicates that the game and its promotional programmes are intended for a global audience, though specific regional restrictions for the offers are not detailed in the provided material.
