In the world of Loregok, where flocks of local dragons hunger for fame, neighbourhood trolls crave funds to pay rent, and global corporate commercialism thirsts to quench its bottom line, comes a fresh source of raw entertainment—you.
Some of you yearn for the spotlight as Contenders. Others may have taken a wrong turn on their way to the restroom. Those desperately seeking fame and fortune can enter joyfully unhinged dungeons built by both the developers and the community. From outrageous waves of enemies to outrageous enemies on waves, nothing is off the table in King of Meat.
Conquer the seemingly endless catalogue of devious dungeons to unlock new leagues, challenges, and more. However, completion alone isn’t enough. Whether you are crowned victorious or perish anonymously, you’ll need to impress your audience with stylish weapons, combos, and over-the-top Glory Moves. Here’s Coach Yurgurt to help you become the ultimate contender.
Meet Coach Yurgurt
Welcome to King of Meat! I’m Coach Yurgurt, legendary rookie, all-star veteran, and the most overqualified coach in all of Loregok. Not that I need an introduction. This is the most exciting show in the universe thanks to Contenders like us.
The best Contenders need a coach, but enough about you. I was self taught. Weapons, movement, Glory Moves, Trophies, progression, swagger. I know the Road to Stardom like the back of my dismembered hand.
Incoming arrows? Scars do wonders for personal branding. Buzz saws? Less hair means more agility. Rabid fans? Best to request donations. But any coach will say that. I’ve been to the bottom of the deepest lava pits, on top of the tallest spikes, and inside the most dangerous exploding barrels. Now, that makes for legendary experience.
Pop quiz. Who will be inducted into the Hall of Pain next season? If you said Coach Yurgurt, you’re smarter than I’d like to admit. The second best answer is you. They may have banned me as a Contender, but they can’t ban my legacy. Together we’ll skip the tryouts and shoot straight to the top.
Weapons
How do you want to be known in combat? Wild card weapon wielder like me? Weapon specialist? How about a support Contender? There's a weapon for every playstyle. Four types of melee weapons and four types of ranged weapons to be exact. Here's the genius part, you can mix and match them any way you want. Looking for a sword and shield with a bomb launcher? Done. Hammers with crossbows? Pure devastation. I pioneered this strategy, naturally.
My debut kicked off a new era for the Gax. I probably gave my teammates the biggest boost they've ever felt. But, after multiple waves of enemies and some broken strings and bones, I realised why should I support everyone, when I can just support myself?
Sword and shield offers perfect balance, medium speed, and medium damage. Hammers? Slow but DEVASTATING! I once flattened three enemies with one swing. Arcane Knuckles are my specialty: quick combos, lightning-fast strikes with less damage per hit. When you're as skilled as me, quantity becomes quality.
Following a formal complaint from the Bonepickers union, I was assigned ranged weapons. There’s crossbows, flintlocks, boomers, and bomb launchers. Pair Arcane knuckles with a bomb launcher like I did for pure tactical genius. Eventually I mastered everything in the Contender arsenal. As you level up, you'll learn more signature combos, unlock new weapons that better suit your style, and become immortalised through your favourite form of combat.
Sometimes your weapon chooses you, but you always choose your road to stardom.
Glory Moves
Glory Moves! I’m not talking about myself gloriously moving up the Road to Stardom. No, we’ll save the best stuff for later. Let’s start with the Hot Potato—raw, round, explosive. A lot like my younger self.
Toss that spud between your allies for a little extra oomph. Just don’t take a bite. When you’ve got the best angle, boom—no matter who, or what, stands in your way. Want something sweeter? Grab a Cluster Duck. Not as charming as my record-breaking rookie season, but almost as deadly. Lost a limb or three back then to fowl play. If you’re even half the Loregokian I am... well, less is more right?
If the Hot Potato is a mighty single serving, the Cluster Duck is multiple courses of adorable destruction. Perfect against those big groups hungry for carnage from you little Contenders. Fearlessly slash forth amidst your feathery chaos. Still, massive destruction doesn’t mean we never take damage.
The soothing heals of Essence Drain once carried my squad to the finish line. Of course, I carried that Essence Drain straight into spikes. Some unjustly call it the start of my decline. I call it a noble sacrifice.
Contenders these days got it good. Tons of enemies for the Essence Drain. That’s even more damage converted to health. Pair it with the Cluster Duck for fast team heals, if you have the coordination. The best Contenders, I’m talking about myself for once, we know teamwork, especially how to make the team work for us.
Now you see why I’m the most overqualified coach for the next generation of Contenders. Get ready to show me how you will unleash your ridiculous when King of Meat releases on October 7.
