Let’s Join the Mystical War in Code Atma!

The current version holds 107 Atmas that you can collect. When you summon an Atma, you’ll see that they are ranked, from 1 – 5 stars. Each rank has different maximum levels. Every Atma has different roles and elements. There are 6 elements of Atma which consist of earth, wind, fire, water, moon, and sun. Also, there are 5 roles of Atma: rogue, ranger, healer, tank, or wizard. In the tutorial, you will start with a third-rank Atma called “Tumang”, it is a tank moon type (Tumang is a character from an Indonesian Folklore named Sangkuriang).

You can summon more Atmas as the game progresses and there are few different ways to do this. Sometimes you can get new Atmas from rewards when playing the campaign, or you can summon Atmas by purchasing them with diamonds or use summon tickets. There are micro-transactions in-game. You may use real funds for purchasing diamonds, equipment, Atma XP, and so on. Sometimes there are various limited deals and bundles from Agate Games. If you’re lucky, you can summon a fifth-rank Atma which is the strongest one (I was particularly lucky as I found two fifth-rank Atmas already). Don’t worry, the rewards you will get from finishing each episode’s campaign or quests are generous, there are several daily quests and events you can complete as well, and last but not least, Code Atma has a feature called “Offline Income”. When you’re not playing the game, there is an income that you can collect when logging back in (you can get golds, Atma XPs, equipment items, summon tickets, even diamonds, etc.). I don’t think you should use real funds much in-game as the rewards from playing and offline income are worth it already.

When you’re fighting with stray Atmas or Seekers, whether in the campaign or against real players, the battle gameplay mechanics in Code Atma are turn-based. Who moves first is depending on which Atma has the highest speed skill but you won’t be able to choose specific targets as the Atma attacks automatically. When in battle, the Atma’s energies will be filled by attacking or being attacked each turn and when the energy bar is full, you can use it to release special abilities. Each Atma has elemental advantages and disadvantages, so you have to choose and utilize them wisely to make their attacks and defenses more effective. You can upgrade levels and equip items for each Atma before battle by collecting Atma XPs and souls. You can set the battle animations to 2x faster and auto-use abilities for your preferences (This might also help with low-spec phones to reduce game lag).

Code Atma draws heavily on Indonesian traditional mythology because the Atmas’ designs and names are inspired by Indonesian folklores like Sangkuriang, Legenda Buaya Putih, or Srikandi.

You will encounter references to Indonesian ghosts like Kuntilanak, Pocong, Jenglot, Genderuwo, Kuyang, and rituals like Babi Ngepet. The background music from the cutscenes can make you fired up when in battle and there is a sad vibe tune in some scenes as well. Unfortunately, the current version is only available in Bahasa Indonesia (Indonesian language), although there are few English sentences. For those who don’t understand Indonesian but want to play the game, I’m afraid you will have to wait until other language options are being added. Since there is a “language” button in the settings, I believe Agate Games will add more languages for Code Atma soon. Furthermore, the game is still an early version and not all features have been unlocked yet (like friends & languages). You can play a Player vs Player (PvP) mode in the Fight Club feature, although it’s not directly playing with each other in real-time as it is some sort of ghost battle in which you can increase your ranks. But don’t worry, you won’t lose anything if you’re defeated.
