<h2>Overview</h2>
<p>Big Time is&nbsp;a multiplayer action RPG where you team up with friends to adventure across time and space. Explore ancient mysteries and futuristic civilizations as you battle your way through history.</p>
<p>Every dungeon is procedurally generated, offering players precious NFT and non-NFT loot along their way while offering a special experience every time you boot up the game. Collect in-game items or hang out with friends with limitless environments and adventures that give you infinite replayability. </p>
<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1920/1080;object-fit:contain;" src="https://assets.gam3s.gg/Big_Time_game_image_3_e490b3bb5e/Big_Time_game_image_3_e490b3bb5e.png" alt="" width="1920" height="1080" data-placeholder="data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAoAAAAGCAIAAAB1kpiRAAAACXBIWXMAAAsTAAALEwEAmpwYAAAAxUlEQVR4nAG6AEX/AGCEtQAwdE9xo4qt0N3//01srQALYgAAVQAAWQAPYAAnZqMAN4EAN4Q9dLJyodR5q90mYaoaV6MARpRvoNMAo+z/r+v/m9Lwrtjr0vr/1Pr/3v//o9Puntb1ufT/AKd+h6qAhMObnZJ8h/XAuO6qoeylm8+Vk62YoX2gvwCKSlGyZWSvbW2XcHeNZ3GAbHmReYSRhpCqo6+rwtUAjHJ7lX+GZF9tnoiQiHyLsn2Aq4WKr3F15JSLt6euURtmMrikot8AAAAASUVORK5CYII="><figcaption>Big Time</figcaption></figure>
<p>You can queue up with a maximum of 6 players in your party, with different play styles to conquer dungeons. Each hosting various monsters lurking around it, with objectives you need to complete before facing the dungeon’s boss fight to gather resources, find rare collectible NFT items, and earn $BIGTIME tokens.</p>
<p>These objectives can vary from disarming bombs and collecting flowers to slaying certain types of enemies, which often drop clothing and armor items inspired by different time periods.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Players will first have to choose a starting class. Each player's experience differs based on the character class selected.  Pocketwatches allow players to switch between different classes. Pocketwatches for each class are used to save players’ progress as they level up.</p>
<h2>Classes</h2>
<p>En route to conquering dungeons and slaying monsters, you'll come across challenges and tasks that require specific skill sets to be victorious and succeed - here's a quick breakdown of each of these character classes:</p>
<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1500/537;object-fit:contain;" src="https://assets.gam3s.gg/Big_time_6_classes_7cc40b7893.png" alt="" width="1500" height="537" data-placeholder="data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAoAAAAECAIAAAA4WjmaAAAACXBIWXMAAAsTAAALEwEAmpwYAAAAhUlEQVR4nGMItFTz1dfylRZRFtPSVDHTCTEPjY4pkMvsqGj+/f8bw9wk19o47xxXHT92kQAtg76s+K3d7TMjwtoz4ievnMeQYiAd62LsZ66ozcAgx8BrpCphq2Pk6+ZvZWojZ+LEoMjHIcXHIcXAwMDIziWowcbLKSAs7GrroqCqqaxlCAC0CR5HwkrL2AAAAABJRU5ErkJggg=="><figcaption>Big Time</figcaption></figure>
<ol><li><b>Time Warrior:&nbsp;</b>The Time Warrior is an aggressive, front-line fighter that wields melee weapons to deliver close-up carnage.</li><li><b>Chronomancer:&nbsp;</b>a powerful ranged damage class that uses magic to decimate its foes.</li><li><b>Quantum Fixer: </b>a<b>&nbsp;</b>masterful support class. Heal your allies, and bring misery to your enemies.</li><li><b>Shadowblade: </b>an agile and stealthy melee fighter, dealing death to those who stand in the way.</li><li><b>TechBlade: </b>a mix between the deadly Shadowblade class and the supportive skills of the Quantum Fixer. This class helps you heal your allies while also dealing significant damage.</li><li><b>BattleMancer: </b>a unique blend of the Chronomancer and the Time Warrior. Choose this class if you feel like going straight into the fray while also dealing elemental damage with your spells.</li></ol>
<h2>Enemies</h2>
<p>Defeating enemies across dungeons can provide you with collectable items and token rewards, with tougher boss fights typically stated as the secret behind the rare drops.</p>
<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1400/648;object-fit:contain;" src="https://assets.gam3s.gg/674ea8afc206a14779c91e8116a6c5b9_6b17047e96/674ea8afc206a14779c91e8116a6c5b9_6b17047e96.png" alt="big-time-enemies.png" width="1400" height="648"><figcaption>Big Time</figcaption></figure>
<p>The game hosts a wide range of enemies from across time and various realms with large insects, robots and even a T-Rex standing in your way, each requiring a different approach to defeat and progress.</p>
<p>The studio is also constantly teasing and announcing new enemies and bosses to defeat, therefore the Big Time world promises endless replayability and challenging quests as the game development continues.</p>
<h2>Game Economy</h2>
<p>Diving into Big Time’s economy, it’s clear this isn’t your standard in-game economy. While most games like League of Legends or Fortnite have a straightforward approach where the game devs sell cosmetic items directly to players, Big Time flips the script. In this ecosystem, players have the power as the pivotal creators and traders of cosmetic items.&nbsp; These skins are digital collectibles that come with a finite supply, ensuring each item’s uniqueness and intrinsic value. Equipping certain items in the game can grant players access to exclusive game areas and portals.</p>
<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1280/720;object-fit:contain;" src="https://assets.gam3s.gg/big_time_ingame_economy_468151f4ea/big_time_ingame_economy_468151f4ea.jpeg" alt="big-time-ingame-economy.jpeg" width="1280" height="720"><figcaption>Big Time</figcaption></figure>
<p>The $BIGTIME token is the core token of Big Time’s economy, these tokens are mostly available through gameplay. The scarcity of Hourglasses, necessary for producing $BIGTIME tokens, creates a fascinating dynamic. As the player community expands, the demand for $BIGTIME is poised to increase against a fixed supply, potentially elevating its value and impact within the game.</p>
<p>To understand the economic heartbeat of Big Time, let’s look at its value chain:</p>
<ul><li>Time Wardens are the creators of Hourglasses, essential for the generation of $BIGTIME tokens.</li><li>$BIGTIME Collectors use these Hourglasses to earn tokens through their gameplay adventures.</li><li>Crafting Aficionados (owners of Armories and Forges) utilize $BIGTIME tokens to craft Cosmetic Collectibles.</li><li>These collectibles are then made available on the <a href="https://openloot.com/marketplace?gameId=56a149cf-f146-487a-8a1c-58dc9ff3a15c" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">marketplace</a>, inviting a player-driven marketplace.</li></ul>
<p>Big Time's economy is considerably more complex, with Collectibles like Hourglasses and Workshops intricately linked to $BIGTIME and Time Crystals (a Web 2.0 currency). For more insights into this game's economy, feel free to visit our B<a href="https://gam3s.gg/big-time/guides/" target="_self" rel="noopener noreferrer">ig Time guides</a>&nbsp;page.</p>
<h2>SPACE and Personal Metaverse</h2>
<p>Big Time's concept of a player base is called the Personal Metaverse, which can be expanded using Space NFTs. Players will receive their Personal Metaverse for free in the early stages of the game. and only the player and their friends can access their personal metaverse.</p>
<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:2406/1364;object-fit:contain;" src="https://assets.gam3s.gg/big_time_space_explained_45e8f068e3/big_time_space_explained_45e8f068e3.webp" alt="big-time-space-explained.webp" width="2406" height="1364"><figcaption>Big Time</figcaption></figure>
<p>On the other hand, SPACE is your personal piece of the game's virtual world. It's where you can build, decorate, and hang out with friends. Think of it as your own digital playground where you can connect workshops like Forges and Armories, and hunt for treasures like Cracked Hourglasses. You buy SPACE from the Open Loot Marketplace, and its rarity and size determine how much you can do with it, from how many workshops you can connect to the amount of decorations you can place.&nbsp;</p>
<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1200/1698;object-fit:contain;" src="https://assets.gam3s.gg/big_time_space_breakdown_38a044d8ad/big_time_space_breakdown_38a044d8ad.png" alt="big time space breakdown.png" width="1200" height="1698"><figcaption>Big Time</figcaption></figure>
<h3>Preseason Leaderboard Event</h3>
<p>Big Time's introduction of the $BIGTIME token, paired with a successful preseason <a href="https://gam3s.gg/big-time/guides/big-time-token-preseason-leaderboard-airdrop/" target="_self" rel="noopener noreferrer">leaderboard event</a>, has led to the giveaway of 97,500,000 $BIGTIME tokens over three months. Participation begins with earning a point to enter the leaderboard, with multiple strategies to climb the ranks such as inviting friends, which grants you 50% of their points, alongside points for in-game achievements and crafting. The preseason phase is exclusive, operating on an invite-only basis, allowing players to extend invites to friends and earn bonus points based on their leaderboard success.</p>
<h3>Seasons</h3>
<p>Looking ahead, Big Time's global launch will introduce Seasons, offering a fresh influx of content that is expected to last every 90 to 180 days. Seasons will feature new cosmetic collectibles (both craftable and non-craftable), special events, and gameplay content, designed for both fun and competitive play.</p>
<p>Seasons highlights a community-wide race to craft a unique rarity cosmetic collectible, emphasizing collaboration and competition among players. Crafting these unique items requires accumulating thousands of lower-rarity collectibles, highlighting a joint effort of the Bigtime Players to finally craft the elusive Unique collectible</p>
<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1920/1080;object-fit:contain;" src="https://assets.gam3s.gg/Bigtime_race_aabe4af537/Bigtime_race_aabe4af537.png" alt="" width="1920" height="1080" data-placeholder="data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAoAAAAGCAIAAAB1kpiRAAAACXBIWXMAAAsTAAALEwEAmpwYAAAAxUlEQVR4nAG6AEX/AGxdf35pkn10r11deQAKAAAEABkdGxkfHw0AGRwGMgBeRYuSaMageN2HZ9NdPpg6LUxNX3lGVGAvFEEXAicALUd+l5/n0eP/oGbrlzbEXz2GOnKBKUU+GCIcPDE/AFpXiXSZvJvC2nWDozJ5ei6OcTWBaliKgafCzWdoiABceaW8yNiJcXZ7qp+F7PSh6/K129a3wtLWvtLgvOYAWGZqkp6ZZU1sbGJ3lLa2Y4iFan2DWUtinHWd//T/F8RUBIS1fkAAAAAASUVORK5CYII="><figcaption>Big Time</figcaption></figure>
<h2>Latest Updates (2025)</h2>
<p>In 2025, Big Time went fully free-to-play and open access, removing the invite-only barrier and making the experience available to all. The team also ran “Christmas in July”, a seasonal event with a 1.2 million $BIGTIME token prize pool, pushing players to complete challenges and rank on leaderboards.</p>
<p>The game’s core token mechanics are now clearer: $BIGTIME drops when you run dungeons with a charged Hourglass, and that token is then used in Forge / Armory to refine, craft, upgrade gear, and speed up timers. On the content side, the roadmap includes Seasons—periodic cycles introducing fresh collectible cosmetics, new gameplay, and competitive events every 3–6 months.</p>
<h2>How to Get Started</h2>
<p>Big Time is now free-to-play and fully available, so anyone can download and play right away. To get started, visit the official Big Time website and head to the <a href="https://www.bigtime.gg/download" target="_self" rel="noopener noreferrer">Download section</a>. You’ll be redirected to the Open Loot Launcher, which is the platform that hosts the game. Once the launcher is installed, sign in or create an account to begin your adventure through time.</p>
<p>After logging in, you’ll choose your first Pocket Watch, which defines your starting class and saves your progress. You can switch between Pocket Watches later to try different roles like the Time Warrior, Shadowblade, or Quantum Fixer. Jump into your first dungeon solo or with a group of up to five other players, take on randomized objectives, and defeat bosses for loot, cosmetics, and materials.</p>
<p>When you’re ready to build and craft, head to your Personal Metaverse, where you can connect workshops like the Forge or Armory to upgrade your gear. Players who equip a charged Hourglass can also earn $BIGTIME tokens directly from dungeon runs, which can then be used for refining, crafting, and speeding up upgrades. </p>

Big Time

Need to start over when you switch pocketwatches

Objectives can get a little too repetitive

<h2>Introduction</h2>
<p>Big Time is the flagship title of Big Time Studios. The game is a cooperative RPG that combines fast-action combat, the collectability of NFTs, and a history-spanning adventure.&nbsp;Big Time puts a lot of emphasis on playing with friends and joining other players’ parties to work together in clearing the various dungeons spread across the game’s vast universe.</p>
<p>All of this is done in an attempt to uncover a mysterious threat that’s tearing down the very walls of time itself. The latter statement isn’t just for show as well, and you realize that when you see Albert Einstein randomly standing next to a T-Rex dinosaur on the sea shore of Epoch City.</p>
<p>Big Time offers unlimited adventures, with an extremely distinctive art style, stunning visuals, and a vibrant world.</p>
<h2>Gameplay</h2>

          </figure>
<p>Every dungeon is procedurally generated, offering players precious NFT and non-NFT loot along their way while offering a special experience every time you boot up the game. This leaves you with almost neverending content to chew through.</p>
<p>However, this is a double-edged sword that so far has proven to be a blessing and a curse for Big Time. Players are able to play the game for countless hours grinding for newer, better, or shinier gear than what they currently have. On the other hand, this process happens while facing the same dinosaurs about 60 times.</p>
<p>The NFT loot distribution is purely arbitrary, at least based on the hours we have put into the game. It doesn't necessarily go towards the best performing players in your group nor the most influential member. It sometimes goes to the least contributing member of your party, and if you aren't a premade group of friends, it can be irritating at times.</p>
<p>Since we are on the topic of groups, Big Time allows you to take up to 6 players with you in your party to conquer dungeons. Each one of them has various monsters lurking around it, with objectives you need to complete before facing the dungeon’s boss fight.</p>
<p>These objectives can vary from disarming bombs and collecting flowers to slaying certain types of enemies. Not only that, monsters in Big Time will often drop clothing and armor items inspired by different time periods, allowing you to express yourself in a way that reflects you the most and show off your fancy gear to everyone online in your lobby.</p>
<p>The objectives have improved slightly over the course of the beta phase updates released so far. However, Big Time still suffers from the objectives' purpose mostly being chores rather than drawing you in to the game's rich lore and vibrant universe. </p>
<p>Often times you will find yourself dedicating your Shadowblade to just blaze through enemies, completely ignoring them, to complete the collecting flowers objective for example. Add to that the final objectives sometimes being completely tedious and time consuming for no other reason than just keeping you inside that dungeon to slay 20+ enemies with no real major difference in the loot you receive along the way and the one you get at the end of a dungeon.</p>
<h2>Time &amp; SPACE</h2>
<p>Time Machines and&nbsp;<a href="https://youtu.be/VblJ0hvl7Io" target="_blank">SPACE&nbsp;</a>are another core gameplay mechanic in Big Time. Players will earn their first Time Machine in the early stages of the game, and from that point onwards, you can expand it and personalize it as you wish to reflect who you are. This isn’t all what they do though. Time Machines of certain levels will allow you to unlock unique playable features and utility.</p>
<p>The question here is, how do I upgrade and expand my Time Machine? Well, the limited-edition SPACE NFTs come into play. SPACE comes in five rarities; Rare, Mythic, Legendary, Epic, and Exalted. Each has three sizes; small, medium, and large.</p>
<p>All of which are currently available on Big Time’s open market for purchase, and each piece expands your Time Machine in correspondance to the number of plots included in each SPACE depending on its rarity and size.</p>
<p>Players will first have to choose a starting class. Players will not be able to change classes until they find a&nbsp;pocketwatch&nbsp;by defeating enemies. Pocketwatches allow players to switch between different classes. Pocketwatches for each class are used to save players’ progress as they level up.</p>
<p>However, it is worth noting Big Time puts you in a spot where you need to make tough decisions with pocketwatches. The need to start from scratch when equipping pocketwatches from a different class is completely understandable, but what feels difficult to digest is the reasoning behind starting from level 1 when you are upgrading your pocketwatch within the same class.</p>
<p>It deters you away from equipping a better pocketwatch within your same class unless it is a significant upgrade. While playing, I often found myself just sticking to my common Chronomancer pocketwatch just because I don't want to lose all the progress I made with it to equip an uncommon with slightly better stats.</p>
<h2>Summary</h2>
<p>Having said that, Big Time is the closest thing we have in web3 gaming to a replayable, enjoyable, and cooperative game that keeps you coming back everyday to grind away for better gear to stand out from the crowd. The feeling when you see a flashy character in the game's world brings memories of World of Warcraft and other MMOs we used to play growing up.</p>
<p>For now, the game's shortcomings lie in its "grind" being a little too repetitive and not innovative enough at times. Add to that the regular pocketwatch punishment, even when upgrading within the same class.&nbsp;</p>
<p>There are other factors contributing to making Big Time unique. Its gameplay-first approach, unique art style, unorthodox token economy, and its stellar team. We haven’t touched on the Big Time team yet, but it is one of the main attributes driving the massive success and anticipation built around Big Time.</p>
