| + | }}'''Grand Chase''' (Korean: 그랜드체이스, lit. ''Grand Chase'') was a free-to-play, two-dimensional side-scrolling MMORPG developed by the South Korean company [[KOG Studios]]. Alternative names for ''Grand Chase'' include 3小俠 (''Three Young Heroes'') used on the Taiwan server but was changed to 永恆冒險 (''Eternal Adventures''). Another name used was 彩虹骑士 (''Rainbow Warriors'') on the Mainland Chinese server. The reopening of the server also used the name of the Taiwan and Hong Kong server.<ref name="multiple">[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Chase Grand Chase. Wikipedia (Retrieved; March 31, 2018)]</ref> |
||
| + | As of April 15, the game ceased development and terminated its service worldwide, with North America being the last foreign server to close in 2015.<ref name="multiple" /> The mobile sequel [[Grand Chase Dimensional Chaser]] was launched in January 2018. |
||
| − | The story focuses on the adventure of the Grand Chase group originally by [[Elesis]], [[Lire]], and [[Arme]], as the adventure goes on new characters join the team. |
||
| − | ==History== |
||
| − | In the beginning the [[Deity#Aernas' Creators|Creator God]] created other gods to take care of the creation of the universe. In order to maintain balance, he also created the demonic tribes to take care of destruction when necessary. |
||
| − | As the magical energy of the demonic tribes were considered "evil", instead of being placed in the material world with the other gods, they were separated into another reality, a magical dimension which then became known as [[Elyos]]. When it was deemed necessary, the tribes came to the material world through [[Dimensional Portal|dimensional portals]] in order to spread destruction. |
||
| + | Grand Chase was awarded as Indonesia's ''most popular online game'' in August 2011 and has spawned several spin-off games such as [[Grand Chase Lite]] and [[Grand Chase M]]. It was also considered as the ''national online game'' of Brazil. |
||
| − | <p style="text-align:center;">[[File:History Grand Chase.jpg]]</p> |
||
| + | [[ELSWORD]], another game developed by KOG, was regarded as the spiritual successor to Grand Chase, having subtle references within the story, such as using [[Elesis]] as a new character in the game. |
||
| − | Eventually, part of the demonic tribes developed into the Asmodians, who considered themselves superior beings over the other demonic creatures and created a civilization on Elyos. |
||
| + | ==Plot Summary== |
||
| − | Meanwhile in the material dimension, the gods created a beautiful new world. Four goddesses led this process of creation: Ernasis, the goddess of war and courage, Lisnar, the goddess of love and spirits, Amenias, goddess of wisdom and harmony and Agnecia, the goddess of life and purity. Honoring the leader of the gods, Ernasis, the world was called [[Aernas]]. |
||
| + | {{main|Story Timeline}} |
||
| + | The story focuses on the adventure of the Grand Chase group originally by Elesis, [[Lire]], and [[Arme]], who depart from the region of [[Bermesiah]] to hunt down the sorceress [[Kaze'aze]] who was the cause of a civil war between two kingdoms, [[Serdin]] and [[Kanavan]].<ref name="multiple" /> |
||
| + | ==Development== |
||
| − | At that time, Aernas was populated with three ancestor races: humans, elves and dwarves. The four Goddesses descended into the world to inspect its creation and, impressed with the creativity and courage of the humans, chose to accompany them in their process of evolution. While Ernasis, Lisnar, and Amenias headed for the region known as [[Archimedia]], Agnecia headed east, where she faced a great evil and sacrificed herself to save the world. |
||
| + | Grand Chase was created using the 2003 game engine, [[wikipedia:Gamebryo|Gamebryo]] system. |
||
| + | ==Gameplay== |
||
| − | The humans of Archimedia decided to honor the divine trio that was visiting them and christened the three Goddesses as Creators. They helped to found the Kingdom of [[Kounat]], the most advanced civilization of Aernas both in magic and in technology. Kounat became the home of the Celestials, a society of humans blessed by the three Goddess, and who were allies to the two neighboring kingdoms of the elves and the dwarves. |
||
| + | Grand Chase is a free-to-play game, where players need to earn currency known as [[GP]] or Game Points from completing [[dungeon]] quests or [[PvP]] to buy equipment and items, but some items could only be purchased with real-world currency. Players start role-playing as one character of their choice and can make three others. To add more characters, players are required to buy additional character slots. However, they might freely switch among the characters they unlocked before entering combat, each with their specific equipment, skills and experience level. |
||
| + | Each character is leveled and equipped separately. Equipment is character-specific except for accessories. |
||
| − | <p style="text-align:center;">[[File:History Goddess.jpg]]</p> |
||
| + | After each expedition, characters would gain EXPs. When sufficient EXP is obtained, the player's character will level up. Higher levels improve stats and grant access to better equipment and moveset. EXP can also be gained through PvP. |
||
| − | Under the command of the three Goddesses, Archimedia became a region favored by the gods. Some of them even fell in love with humans and from this love arose special children. These children stood out as having above average skills and, over time, began to lead the Celestials. With the help of this civilization, the elves developed their magic even further, while the dwarves specialized in technology. |
||
| + | When choosing a dungeon to play, players are given the option to create a party of their own or join one created by others. Each dungeon consisted of a certain number of floors, or levels with a boss on the final floor. |
||
| − | <p style="text-align:center;">[[File:History Kounat.jpg]]</p> |
||
| + | Items needed to complete quests would automatically be given at a certain point after the monster was defeated. Other items were distributed via the "Dice" system and each member rolls their own set of dice. The size of the inventory can be increased through Cash or some Events. To encourage group play, there is a slight experience boost when working together. |
||
| − | With the advancement of the three civilizations of Archimedia, the gods finally were satisfied with their creation. The most powerful of the Celestials was named the king of Kounat, and the gods set out to create the dimension of [[Xenia]], leaving behind only the three Goddesses, Ernasis, Lisnar and Amenias. |
||
| + | The [[Relay Dungeon]] can be entered the same way as a normal dungeon. Up to 4 players can form a party and attempt the Relay Dungeon together. The bosses have increased stats, making them harder to defeat. After a boss was defeated, a chest opens which contained many valuable items including Cash items. This mode was only available during certain events.<ref>[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Chase#Gameplay Grand Chase. Wikipedia (Retrieved; September 26, 2018)]</ref> |
||
| − | However, while Aernas and Kounat thrived, Elyos declined into war, where the demonic tribes organized themselves against the powerful Asmodians. It was then that the great hero of the Asmodians, [[Void|Duel Pone Jack/Zec Avenger]], went crazy in combat and ended the war, virtually decimating all combatants on both sides of the battle and nearly killing the powerful Asmodian wizard [[Oz|Oz Pone Max Reinhardt]]. |
||
| + | ==Members of the Grand Chase== |
||
| − | With the Asmodians now commanding them, the demonic tribes began to rebuild. Wanting to avoid a new war in Elyos, the Asmodian leader Heitaros Cratsus decided to erect a demonic army, emphasizing that the demonic tribes were threatened by the existence of other civilizations outside of their world and therefore they should act first by destroying these other beings. |
||
| + | There are twenty playable characters players can choose within the game, each with unique backstories and distinct abilities. Each character has three job advancements, each with their fighting mode and personalities. |
||
| − | |||
| + | {| class="wikitable" style="text-align:center; font-text-align:right; width: 100%;" |
||
| − | Willing to take the fight away from Elyos, Heitaros began focusing on the destruction of other dimensions. He led his army of demons through dimensional portals and headed into Aernas. The largest dimensional portal appeared to the east of Kounat, and the demonic tribe army marched for the capital of the city. |
||

| + | !<center>'''Background'''</center> |
||
| − | Although not all the inhabitants of Elyos agree with the invasion, they had no time to try to stop it since Heitaros acted very quickly. The raid also surprised the king of Kounat who, desperate, invoked the help of the three Goddesses, Ernasis, Lisnar and Amenias, and thus they led the forces of Kounat against the demonic army in a wild and terrible battle on the Artione Field. |
||
| + | !<center>'''Membership'''</center> |
||
| − | |||
| − | The number of victims increased every moment, until the ultimate weapon created by Kounat, the Aernas Hammer, was finally activated. It was a weapon that united magic, technology, and even the divine power of the gods. Unfortunately, the weapon required so much energy that it could only be used once. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Fortunately, once was enough. The power of the Aernas Hammer was so great that it eliminated all of the demonic army infantry. Heitaros suffered serious injuries and fled back to Elyos through a portal. Without a leader, the rest of the army began to scatter across the continent. |
||
| − | |||
| − | However, it took the three Goddesses, who were already greatly weakened by the battle, a large amount of concentrated power to fully energize the Aernas Hammer. Before completely exhausting their strength, they realized that they would need to leave Aernas and return to their own heavenly dimension in order to recouperate and restore their energies. Before they left, the last thing they did to make the world safe was to seal off all the portals linking Aernas and Elyos. |
||
| − | |||
| − | The demons who were left behind and stuck in Aernas began to corrupt other creatures, giving rise to various [[monsters]] and putting a definitive end to the era of peace in which the world was. But it soon turned out that the monsters were not the only threat. A great evil had arisen within Kounat itself, and none other than its Prime Minister, [[Baldinar]]. |
||
| − | |||
| − | <p style="text-align:center;"><span style="text-align:center;">[[File:History Baldinar.jpg]]</span></p> |
||
| − | |||
| − | Without anyone knowing, Baldinar had found the legendary [[Klara Libri]], a sacred tome that contained all the secrets of the world, including all the information about the gods, the Creator God and the demonic tribes. Ambitious, Baldinar became insane and hatched a plan to become the new Creator God, and thus obtain absolute control over both the powers of good and of evil. |
||
| − | |||
| − | He began studying the demons that had been trapped in Aernas and collected their Demonic Essence, the source of the power of darkness. To function as the source for the power of good, he decided to use the power of the Goddesses which still remained within the Aernas Hammer. Following the instructions of the tome, he used this power to create the [[Soul Stone]], a crystal that contained the divine power of the gods. His plan was to unite with the Hammer, the Stone, and the Demonic Essence, thus obtaining the ultimate weapon to become the new Creator. This eventually led to Kounat's tragedy. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Baldinar tried to use the Soul Stone to power the Aernas Hammer. He wanted to eliminate all that could become obstacles in their path, starting with the [[Highlanders]], champions of the gods who had participated in the war. However, the only Kounatians who could control the energies of the Stone were members of the [[Kounat Royal Family]], who were able to withstand the "[[geas]]" imposed on them by the gods, a kind of "consequence" to be able to use that power. Due to the corrupted Baldinar, the Aernas Hammer went totally out of control, causing a gigantic explosion that consumed entire the kingdom. |
||
| − | |||
| − | <p style="text-align:center;">[[File:History Kounat 2.jpg]]</p> |
||
| − | |||
| − | Thus, the advanced civilization of the Celestials met its end, the complete annihilation of the kingdom becoming a legend in the future. The explosion was so powerful that it also hit part of the kingdom of both the elves and the dwarves, killing both of their kings. With this, the dwarves believed that the elves had released a terrible magic to murder their king, while the elves thought that the dwarves had created a machine to destroy them. This initiated the endless war between the two races in Archimedia's crumbling region. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ==Present== |
||
| − | |||
| − | <span style="">Decades after the destruction of Kounat, despite the fact that the demonic tribes have disappeared along with the destruction of Kounat, the void left behind by the most powerful kingdom of the humans allowed dozens of monsters thrive.</span> <span style=""> Taking advantage of this situation, [[Kaze'aze]], the Queen of Darkness, encountered the forces of darkness and began her campaign for world domination.</span> |
||
| − | |||
| − | <p style="text-align:center;"><span style="text-align:center;">[[File:History Serdin.jpg]]</span></p> |
||
| − | |||
| − | <span style="">On the continent of [[Bermesiah]], humans lived in harmony with the local elves, who preferred to isolate themselves in their forests and islands, far from civilization that once again grew and expanded.</span> Humans were divided between the two biggest kingdoms: [[Serdin]], which explored the path of magic, and [[Kanavan]], famous for its heroes and mighty warriors. The peace was sealed by vows of friendship between these peoples. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Together, the kingdoms coexisted in peace until their lands were slowly overcome by the evil Queen of Darkness. Kaze'aze managed to infiltrate the Kanavan Kingdom by murdering the Kanavan Queen's most loyal and trusted retainer, and then disguising herself as him. As a result, Kaze'aze was able to get close to the Queen and entice her into the ways of darkness. Kaze'aze blinded the Queen of Kanavan's eyes to truth and led her to wage a five-year war against the Serdin Kingdom. All of Bermesiah was devastated; many heroes fell in battle, and even the Queen of Serdin sacrificed her life in hopes of ending the fighting. |
||
| − | |||
| − | <p style="text-align:center;">[[File:History War.jpg]]</p> |
||
| − | |||
| − | The death of the Queen of Serdin broke Kaze'aze's hold over the Queen of Kanavan, who, after finally regaining her senses, erupted with fury over Kaze'aze's treachery. Kaze'aze escaped before the Queen of Kanavan could execute her. This lead the Queen to dispatch the [[Kanavan Trackers]] to punish the Queen of Darkness, but after years of searching, she was nowhere to be found and the Queen's Trackers vanished as well, forcing the Queen of Kanavan to abandon her search. |
||
| − | |||
| − | The Serdin Kingdom experienced a series of bizarre incidents related to Kaze'aze after the Five-Year War: these events revealed that Kaze'aze manipulated the Kanavan and Serdin Kingdoms into fighting each other. The newly appointed Queen of Serdin is now determined to prevent Kaze'aze from starting another war between the two kingdoms for the sake of the entire continent. The Queen of Serdin has prepared to confront Kaze'aze and counter her evil plans by organizing Grand Chase, an elite corps that will fight for all of Bermesiah. |

Revision as of 02:09, 5 February 2020
Grand Chase (Korean: 그랜드체이스, lit. Grand Chase) was a free-to-play, two-dimensional side-scrolling MMORPG developed by the South Korean company KOG Studios. Alternative names for Grand Chase include 3小俠 (Three Young Heroes) used on the Taiwan server but was changed to 永恆冒險 (Eternal Adventures). Another name used was 彩虹骑士 (Rainbow Warriors) on the Mainland Chinese server. The reopening of the server also used the name of the Taiwan and Hong Kong server.[1]
As of April 15, the game ceased development and terminated its service worldwide, with North America being the last foreign server to close in 2015.[1] The mobile sequel Grand Chase Dimensional Chaser was launched in January 2018.
Grand Chase was awarded as Indonesia's most popular online game in August 2011 and has spawned several spin-off games such as Grand Chase Lite and Grand Chase M. It was also considered as the national online game of Brazil.
ELSWORD, another game developed by KOG, was regarded as the spiritual successor to Grand Chase, having subtle references within the story, such as using Elesis as a new character in the game.

The story focuses on the adventure of the Grand Chase group originally by Elesis, Lire, and Arme, who depart from the region of Bermesiah to hunt down the sorceress Kaze'aze who was the cause of a civil war between two kingdoms, Serdin and Kanavan.[1]
Development
Grand Chase was created using the 2003 game engine, Gamebryo system.
Gameplay
Grand Chase is a free-to-play game, where players need to earn currency known as GP or Game Points from completing dungeon quests or PvP to buy equipment and items, but some items could only be purchased with real-world currency. Players start role-playing as one character of their choice and can make three others. To add more characters, players are required to buy additional character slots. However, they might freely switch among the characters they unlocked before entering combat, each with their specific equipment, skills and experience level.
Each character is leveled and equipped separately. Equipment is character-specific except for accessories.
After each expedition, characters would gain EXPs. When sufficient EXP is obtained, the player's character will level up. Higher levels improve stats and grant access to better equipment and moveset. EXP can also be gained through PvP.
When choosing a dungeon to play, players are given the option to create a party of their own or join one created by others. Each dungeon consisted of a certain number of floors, or levels with a boss on the final floor.
Items needed to complete quests would automatically be given at a certain point after the monster was defeated. Other items were distributed via the "Dice" system and each member rolls their own set of dice. The size of the inventory can be increased through Cash or some Events. To encourage group play, there is a slight experience boost when working together.
The Relay Dungeon can be entered the same way as a normal dungeon. Up to 4 players can form a party and attempt the Relay Dungeon together. The bosses have increased stats, making them harder to defeat. After a boss was defeated, a chest opens which contained many valuable items including Cash items. This mode was only available during certain events.[2]
Members of the Grand Chase
There are twenty playable characters players can choose within the game, each with unique backstories and distinct abilities. Each character has three job advancements, each with their fighting mode and personalities.
