RealmWalker

REALM WALKER is a single-player augmented reality RPG for Android where the real world becomes your battlefield.

Walk through your daily environment and steps accumulate passively in the background. When you have walked enough, a Tap to Play button activates. Find a comfortable spot, tap it, and watch as enemies materialize on real surfaces around you through your camera. Fight them with tap and swipe gestures, collect gear drops, and grow stronger with every encounter.

HOW IT WORKS

Walk - Steps accumulate on the main screen with no GPS required.

Tap to Play - You choose when and where to fight. No ambushes mid-crosswalk.

AR Combat - Enemies spawn on real floors and surfaces detected by ARCore. They feel physically present in your environment.

Collect and Grow - Every encounter drops weapons, armor and rings. Level up, deal more damage, and survive harder fights.

COMBAT

Tap on an enemy for a quick attack.

Swipe horizontally for a power strike at 1.5x damage.

Swipe upward for a charged strike at 2x damage with a cooldown.

Face groups of up to three enemies at once. Each enemy must be targeted individually. Enemies attack on their own timers so managing multiple threats becomes essential at higher levels.

GEAR SYSTEM

Three gear slots: Weapon, Armor and Ring.

Four rarity tiers: Common, Rare, Epic and Legendary.

Legendary items are region-exclusive. Your device location determines which legendary items can drop for you. Players in Europe, the Americas, Asia, the Middle East and Oceania each have access to a unique set of legendary gear that no other region can find.

FEATURES

- Marker-less AR via ARCore with no printed targets needed

- Real-world plane detection so enemies stand on your actual floor

- AR Occlusion support so enemies hide behind real furniture on supported devices

- Step counter using device hardware with no battery-draining GPS

- AR only activates during combat for battery conscious design

- Non-AR fallback mode for when plane detection fails

- Group encounters with per-enemy targeting

- Full RPG progression with XP, levelling and three gear slots

- Region system using GPS or timezone with region bonuses and exclusive legendary drops

- Sequential gear drop screen with rarity color, icon and comparison to current gear

- Critical hit system via the ring slot

- Persistent HP between encounters so your health is a walk resource
