Discord has skyrocketed in popularity over the past few years as it has been marketed as a messenger for gamers to a more general communication platform. Discord servers are perfect for websites, internet personas, and more – it’s one of the easiest ways to build an online community for a brand, service or hobby.
Thanks to this popularity, there has been a surge in the development of third-party applications such as Discord bots These bots are getting more and more creative as Discord gets older, and some have evolved into full fledged text / graphics games that people can play entirely through Discord.
For those interested in gaming and anime, the good news is that many of Discord’s most unique gaming bots fit these niches. In this article, we’ll take a look at three of the most interesting Discord games for PC and anime fans that can be played through a bot.
Karuta
Karuta is a new bot launched in February 2020 that is rapidly gaining popularity. It offers a fun way to collect over 70,000 individual anime characters as cards via Discord.
When added to the server, Karuta works by allowing individual players to run a command (k! Drop) at a given interval of time, which drops a set of cards in the public channel for the player and other players to choose from. Beneath these cards will be a set of reactions, numbered up to three, that players can tap or tap.
The one who responds first will receive a card corresponding to the reaction number, after which the player’s capture skill will cease to work.
Cards will also be automatically dropped when players are actively communicating on the server. On large servers, the designated Karuta channel is often very busy due to both the active and passive drop method.
Karuta is a global economy Discord game, which means that cards obtained on one server are saved on all others. Cards are dropped with one of five qualities – Damaged, Bad, Good, Excellent, or Mint – that visually affect them. There are also printed numbers, adding an extra layer of rarity and vanity. Players can spend gold to upgrade cards to perfect condition, which opens up access to further development and cosmetic options, such as coloring.
Karuta also has a very active trading economy and several different currency types to keep things interesting. The bot also takes a very tough stance against fraud, preventing players from using multiple accounts or bots, and blocks players who commit these violations. The cards of these players are then sent to a special global auction system, where they are again distributed throughout the economy.
For anime aficionados, collectors or finaliters, Karuta is an incredibly addictive bot.
Pokécord
Pokécord has been around for years and has established itself as one of the surest ways to experience the world of Pokémon through Discord.
To play Pokécord, simply add the bot to the server and allow it to track the channels that users are actively communicating with. When this happens, Pokécord will automatically spawn Pokémon so that members of the server can catch them. To catch a Pokemon, players need to type p! Catch followed by the name of the Pokémon.
Pokécord is a mix of random trivia and typing speed competition. The most knowledgeable Pokémon fans who can type the fastest will find that they have the largest collection of Pokémon.
When captured, each Pokémon rolls out a level and IV, or individual values ??that help determine its overall strength level and value (for trading). This takes the bot economy much deeper than just catching the Pokémon the player might want – the ultimate goal is to catch the Pokémon with the perfect IV. Each Pokémon is passively leveling up as players chat on Discord servers that have a bot.
While “catching them all” is the main advantage of Pokécord, there is a robust combat system that takes advantage of the IV. While other bots like Myuu are better able than Pokécord to mimic the real combat experience of Pokémon, the sheer size of Pokécord – currently over a million Discord game servers – keeps it at the top. Pokemon fans will love this bot.
Mudae
In this article, Mudae presents an interesting interpretation of the collectible game of other bots. Mudae is a Discord bot with anime and video game characters that allows individual servers to manage their own local “economy”. Karuta and Pokécord are global, which means that players’ progress is transferred with them between servers, but Mudae allows server owners to control the game.
In Mudae, players can select collectible characters based on several options: $ hg selects male characters from video games, $ wa selects female characters from anime, and so on. to describe favorite male and female characters, respectively.
In Mudae, clicking on the heart reaction under unclaimed rolls will allow players to “marry” these characters, giving them sole ownership. Since the game is localized, this means that only one person can claim for each character.
Mudae also has a deep currency system, kakera, which allows players to level up badges that enhance their gameplay. For example, players can use their kakeru to create a bronze badge that will give them an extra slot in their wishlist that will ping them when the character they want is thrown.
Mudae integrates both anime and playable characters and is especially good on small servers due to its ultimate spawning system.
The Discord games listed above are a great addition to any server packed with video game or anime fans, and all three are regularly updated to keep them fresh. Do you have questions or comments about these bots? If so, feel free to leave comments below.
