Aurory has announced that its flagship title, Seekers of Tokane, has been officially renamed Amiko Legends. The update, revealed on October 31, signals a new phase for the web3 RPG, though the core gameplay remains largely consistent with the previous version. In the announcement, shared on X, Aurory described the rebrand as "the next chapter," suggesting the change is part of broader plans for the game. The most visible update in this version is the renaming of the collectible creatures from Nefties to Amikos, while the rest of the systems, locations, and gameplay mechanics remain unchanged.
Aurory Rebrands to Amiko Legends
Amiko Legends is a free-to-play roguelite RPG that centers around exploration, turn-based combat, and collectible creatures. Players begin their journey in the village of Blanche before traveling across the lands of Tokane to battle enemies, gather loot, and complete quests. The game uses procedurally generated maps, providing new environments and challenges on each run. Players can engage in single-player PvE or compete in PvP through Blitz Battles, maintaining the strategic combat style from the previous game.
Amikos, formerly known as Nefties, are collectible creatures that players can train, customize, and use in combat. Squads can be built with different abilities and traits, and players can face wild Amikos, complete areas, and earn rewards. The rebrand does not change how Amikos function in gameplay, and players familiar with the previous title will find the core systems largely unchanged.
Seekers of Tokane to Amiko Legends
The renaming of Seekers of Tokane to Amiko Legends represents the primary change in this update. The creatures in the game are now called Amikos instead of Nefties, but the gameplay loop, maps, combat systems, and PvP modes remain consistent. Players continue to explore Blanche and the surrounding lands, participate in Blitz Battles, and train their Amikos as before. While Aurory has not introduced major gameplay changes yet, the rebrand may lay the foundation for future updates and expansions.
Aurory began as a web3-focused studio co-founded by Yann Penno and Paul Vadillo with the goal of blending JRPG-style gameplay with blockchain ownership. The studio’s early efforts included Aurory Tactics, a PvP-focused turn-based battle mode where players could fight using Nefties. Over time, Aurory shifted toward a more open, adventure-based experience, which resulted in the creation of Seekers of Tokane. That project now continues under the new Amiko Legends branding.
In-Game Economy: OKA and TOKE
Amiko Legends operates within the AURY token ecosystem. Players earn rewards by completing adventures or winning Blitz Battles. Weekly AURY rewards are split into two pools, OKA and TOKE. Prime Amiko squads earn OKA when their starting Amiko has sufficient OKAnergy, and switch to TOKE when it runs out. Teams with Standard Amikos also earn TOKE. These sub-tokens can then be converted into $AURY payouts.
Crystals serve as an off-chain in-game currency, used to hatch eggs, upgrade Amikos, purchase cosmetic items, and access event content. Crystals can be earned through both PvE and PvP gameplay, even if a player loses a match. Eggs collected during exploration may hatch into Prime or Standard Amikos, though losing a run will result in forfeiting the loot and returning to Blanche without rewards.
Village of Blanche and New Features
The village of Blanche remains the central hub for social interaction, events, and avatar customization. Amiko Legends continues as a live-service game, with content released in stages. Players can personalize their characters with outfits and accessories, many of which are obtainable through gameplay or via Crystals. The game maintains its social and community-focused systems, allowing players to meet, interact, and participate in ongoing events.
Aurory conducted a private playtest in London with 32 participants and a broader study involving over 2,500 players from the US, UK, Japan, and South Korea. Feedback from testers highlighted the art style, music, and turn-based combat as key strengths. Amikos received positive remarks for their designs and collectible qualities, while exploration was noted for its engaging environments, though some players suggested adding more variety for extended play sessions. The study also showed that mainstream players remain cautious about blockchain integration, prompting Aurory to focus on making these features more accessible.
Final Thougths
New players can create an Aurory account using a social login or by connecting a Solana wallet like Phantom or an EVM wallet such as Metamask. Upon signing up, players receive a Starter Egg that hatches into their first off-chain Amiko. The game is available for download through the Epic Games Store or Aurory’s portal. Players begin in Blanche, build their Amiko squads, and can participate in both PvE and PvP modes.
Aurory is expected to provide more information during its upcoming Roundtable AMA on November 7 via Discord. The session is likely to cover player feedback from early tests, potential future updates, and the direction of Amiko Legends. Until then, the current game experience remains largely the same as before the rebrand, aside from the updated names.
