<h2>Overview</h2><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://gameoffthegrid.com/">Off the Grid</a> (OTG) brings a new twist to cyberpunk shooters, blending the last-player-standing intensity of <a target="_self" rel="noopener noreferrer">battle royales</a> with the strategy and loot mechanics of extraction shooters. Developed by Gunzilla Games, OTG introduces players to the gritty landscape of Teardrop Island, a dystopian battleground where corporations clash, and players make choices that influence the world around them.&nbsp;</p><figure class="media"><div data-oembed-url="https://www.youtube.com/embed/sZ1iA9LgQPY"><iframe style="width: 100%;" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/sZ1iA9LgQPY" width="560" height="352" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div></figure><h2>Game Lore</h2><p>Set on Teardrop Island, Off the Grid dives into a world controlled by powerful corporations who use enhanced mercenaries to fight for territory, resources, and influence. The game explores themes of power, corruption, and rebellion, where each faction has its own motives and goals. Players are thrown into this corporate warfare, aligning with different factions, completing missions, and discovering the layers of conflict that shape the island’s future.</p><h2>Gameplay and Features</h2><p>Off The Grid presents a captivating and immersive experience in the realm of battle royale games, distinguished by its cyberpunk setting and innovative features.</p><h4>Immersive Cyberpunk World</h4><p>The game plunges players into a futuristic universe, where neon lights and advanced technology create a vivid dystopian atmosphere. This cyberpunk theme is not just aesthetic; it infuses every aspect of the game, from the design of the environments to the technology available to players. It offers a distinct flavor that sets Off The Grid apart from other titles in the battle royale genre, providing a fresh and engaging backdrop for the intense action.</p><figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1840/1035;object-fit:contain;" src="https://assets.gam3s.gg/OTG_PS_Store_1_3b029b6a0a/OTG_PS_Store_1_3b029b6a0a.jpeg" alt="OTG PS Store 1.jpeg" width="1840" height="1035"></figure><h4>Drop In and Gather Loot</h4><p>Like other battle royales such as Fortnite, each match of Off the Grid starts with your character dropping from a plane, letting you choose your landing spot on the map. Once on the ground, you’ll search for loot crates filled with essentials like weapons, ammo, shields, and even Cyberlimbs. Speaking of firepower, OTG packs a full arsenal, from pistols and SMGs to sniper rifles and shotguns. The variety of gear gives players plenty of options to customize their <a target="_self" rel="noopener noreferrer">loadout</a>&nbsp;and adapt to the challenges they face.</p><figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1200/686;object-fit:contain;" src="https://assets.gam3s.gg/OTG_guns_23f1000a0f/OTG_guns_23f1000a0f.webp" alt="" width="1200" height="686" data-placeholder="data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAoAAAAGCAIAAAB1kpiRAAAACXBIWXMAAAPoAAAD6AG1e1JrAAAAxUlEQVR4nAG6AEX/AAAjOnvA05TT5Zje8ZfX6qXt/LHw/7bw/q/u/EQ7TgAOUnYaW3kOQWEIOFUeS2qQ//+LvtODcnZsYmwjS2gABkhsCShAEBorCCpEJ12BO4GrQH6nIm2XMkZgIjxVAAAzTwA+WhkjMyQsPE1GUm0vJygiKTc1Q0EtN0QzPAAAOlkAJDkJLEMaRWAWMkkwO0w7Ji88Mz5QLTJPISIACTJMDwAFGxIbMSYuLRQYPRUXTyYlVhsWhhgBbCce2ig550TFfC0AAAAASUVORK5CYII="></figure><h4>Don't Let the Grid Touch You</h4><p>As the game progresses, a familiar closing-circle mechanic kicks in, forcing the remaining players into an ever-smaller area. This “Grid” steadily shrinks, creating high-stakes zones for intense encounters. Some players prefer to control the center of each circle, staking out strategic vantage points early on. Others keep close to the edge, staying mobile and picking off competitors as they’re forced to move. The closing Grid adds layers of strategy, making each match dynamic and unpredictable.</p><h4>Customize Yourself with Cyberlimbs</h4><p>In OTG’s world, mercenaries enhanced by cybernetic modifications are hired by powerful mega-corporations. This setup extends into gameplay, where players can upgrade their characters with customizable Cyberlimbs. These aren’t just cosmetic changes like character skins or weapon wraps; Cyberlimbs give you distinct combat powers. Think of Cyberlimbs as a flexible take on the abilities you might find in Apex Legends: rather than having set skills, you can mix and match these cybernetic enhancements to fit your playstyle.</p><figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1920/1080;object-fit:contain;" src="https://assets.gam3s.gg/image_da5e64ae94/image_da5e64ae94.png" alt="" width="1920" height="1080" data-placeholder="data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAoAAAAGCAIAAAB1kpiRAAAACXBIWXMAAAsTAAALEwEAmpwYAAAAiklEQVR4nGPQ1taWkpJiQALMzMwMDAwiIiJS0lIM5hYWFhaWoqJiyCoYGBjWbVjp4GjHEBOTVFpaaWpqzsDAwMnJKSoqamNrkZAY/+v3F35+fgZmZiaIaTKysv0T+iprK46fOTBv/hxRUVGQIWoqsdx8ymCtXCDlaEBM2oWdXRLMZERxmrCwtLQ0AGU4GGOHZ+X1AAAAAElFTkSuQmCC"></figure><p>Cyberlimbs offer a range of capabilities, from launching missiles to enabling high jumps for better mobility, granting temporary invisibility, and even unleashing devastating melee attacks. These enhancements can be found in loot crates around the map, just like weapons, and can be swapped out to adjust your loadout as you play. This variety in abilities lets you make tactical decisions on the fly, adapting to the shifting battlefield with each encounter.</p><h2>NFTs and Blockchain</h2><p>Off the Grid (OTG) introduces a <a target="_self" rel="noopener noreferrer">blockchain-powered ecosystem</a> that adds depth and player agency to the game’s economy. Built on the GUNZ blockchain, OTG uses an Avalanche subnet to manage in-game assets securely and efficiently. At the core of this system is the GUN token, which players can earn and use to trade in-game items like cyberlimbs, skins, and weapons in the Gunzilla Marketplace. These items are represented as NFTs, giving players true ownership and the freedom to buy, sell, and trade their gear, creating a player-driven economy.</p><figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:687/311;object-fit:contain;" src="https://assets.gam3s.gg/OTG_mint_56ad251bcd/OTG_mint_56ad251bcd.png" alt="" width="687" height="311" data-placeholder="data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAoAAAAFCAIAAADzBuo/AAAACXBIWXMAAAsTAAALEwEAmpwYAAAAoklEQVR4nGNQ0zKRlFYXk1BU0NRQ0NQQk5RX19bWNzGTkZaSkJBgyC1qmDB9VV5hRUZxVvfc6UHhsZZODvZuHgryciDp3bvWvnv7MCY6oCQ/7f2b+22tdYyMzDKysqpqquISEgynj2z79u6+rY1RS0vF/z+vetuqOHl4FJWVNTTUQborijLnzOx1dbH39XGd2t/s7+PGw8MnKyenra0tISkJADAUMMgn2pN3AAAAAElFTkSuQmCC"></figure><p>A unique feature of OTG’s blockchain system is the integration of Hexes—valuable resources scattered across the game world. Hexes are collected during missions or extraction runs and serve as a critical element in minting items into NFTs. Players can decode Hexes after extraction, revealing randomized traits or stats that impact gameplay. This decoding process adds a level of unpredictability, as each Hex holds unique attributes that can enhance weapons, boost stats, or unlock special abilities when minted into NFT form.</p><figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:687/391;object-fit:contain;" src="https://assets.gam3s.gg/OTG_hex_007c52c64b/OTG_hex_007c52c64b.webp" alt="" width="687" height="391" data-placeholder="data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAoAAAAGCAIAAAB1kpiRAAAACXBIWXMAAAPoAAAD6AG1e1JrAAAAtElEQVR4nGNorG/Oyy+xs7OrLcnP9HIp9HMzV1Xh4uJKTYn7+vUTg7efr4GBgbKysqebe1FSgruBjpaCvLysTEJ85Ps3rxnExMSEhITExMSUwUBBQUFTQ1VPR8vR3i4mPIRBSEiIi4uLj4+PgYHBwsFNWVlZRVHB2FBfT0fLwsyEQVJSkpWVlYuLi4GBgY+PT1JSEmKAsaG+rbUVQ35+kZurj7KyMkSRGBgY6Dl7e2eFhYUBAGP0JhEnmUABAAAAAElFTkSuQmCC"></figure><p>The <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://marketplace.gunz.dev/">Gunzilla Marketplace</a> serves as the central hub for trading these NFT assets. Through the marketplace, players can use their GUN tokens to buy or sell items, with the game’s economy influenced solely by player transactions. Gunzilla Games has committed to not selling NFTs directly, letting players shape the market based on supply, demand, and in-game utility.&nbsp;For those seeking rewards and deeper involvement, OTG offers ways to earn GUN tokens through various in-game activities, such as completing missions, winning matches, or extracting rare resources. However, engaging with blockchain features is entirely optional. Players who prefer a traditional gaming experience can fully enjoy OTG without participating in the NFT or token aspects, while others can dive into the blockchain side to maximize their customization and potential rewards.</p><h2>Latest Updates (2025)</h2><p data-start="186" data-end="688">Off The Grid made a big step in 2025 by launching on Steam, opening the game to a wider PC audience alongside PS5 and Xbox players. Cross-platform play is fully active, but because of store rules, the Steam edition runs its blockchain features on testnet, while the full asset and wallet tools stay available on the standalone launcher. On the ecosystem side, Gunzilla continued its mainnet rollout, migrating over 21,000 player accounts and bringing validator nodes online to support the GUNZ network.</p><p data-start="690" data-end="1158">Gameplay also saw noticeable tuning throughout the year. The Red Ant Battle Pass introduced themed skins, new weapons, and the Cyberlancer limb mod, which changed melee engagements and mobility options. A major balance patch lowered overall weapon TTK by roughly 30%, added Legendary-tier guns, adjusted aim assist, and tightened recoil and movement feel. The map expanded as well, with the Midtown Harbour zone adding more vertical routes and industrial cover setups.</p><p data-start="1160" data-end="1577">To mix up pacing between matches, a 20-player Free-For-All mode was added, along with smaller combat arenas like Marshlands and Ocio to keep firefights tight. Extraction flow was also refined with quicker HEX terminal interaction, clearer risk windows, and smoother traversal animations.</p><h2>How to Get Started</h2><p>Ready to dive into Off the Grid? &nbsp;The game is currently available on Windows (via the <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/off-the-grid-7e3cc5">Epic Games Store</a> and Steam), <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://store.playstation.com/en-us/concept/10008971">PlayStation 5</a>, and <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://gameoffthegrid.com/xbox-announcement/">Xbox Series X</a>, giving players a head start on exploring Teardrop Island.

Best Adventure Game

ravenquest cover1.jpg

<h2>Overview</h2>
<p>RavenQuest is a top-down pixel-based <a href="https://gam3s.gg/genres/mmorpg/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">MMORPG</a>&nbsp;that builds on the success of Ravendawn, a popular Web2 game with over 200,000 monthly players. What makes RavenQuest different is its full Web3 integration, allowing players to own in-game assets through NFTs while enjoying the game's constantly evolving world.&nbsp;While some Web3 games require upfront investment, RavenQuest is free to play, letting players dive in without any initial cost. The game has dedicated zones for those who prefer to avoid PvP, but for players who like competition, PvP offers better rewards and more earning potential.</p>
<figure class="media">

           </div>
          </figure>
<h2>Gameplay and Features</h2>
<p>RavenQuest takes a different approach to traditional MMORPG gameplay by offering complete freedom in how players build and progress their characters. Instead of locking players into a specific class, RavenQuest introduces an Archetype system where players can combine three Archetypes at any time. There are eight Archetypes to choose from: Archery, Holy, Protection, Shadow, Spiritual, Warfare, Witchcraft, and Wizardry. Each Archetype offers 18 unique spells, and combining three creates up to 56 possible class combinations. This system allows players to adapt their character to suit their playstyle, whether they prefer to be a long-range damage dealer, a tank, or a spellcaster.</p>
<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1248/762;object-fit:contain;" src="https://assets.gam3s.gg/ravenquest_classes_7ccda43d76/ravenquest_classes_7ccda43d76.png" alt="" width="1248" height="762" data-placeholder="data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAoAAAAGCAIAAAB1kpiRAAAACXBIWXMAABJ0AAASdAHeZh94AAAAxUlEQVR4nAG6AEX/AKGLiiQNMh0TMyolRTsvRkxBUUc4SWZWcf/75P/p4QAGAB0VACc8KEFiOjNtUEraq4fur5TcsML76d/bq9UAKx04SzpISzhBdFM/aV1UTyw1WS83PiZIMhxDNx5LALSbfv/bo+S1icmqedu9kRoSNyMZRTMkSikdRyQWPQC+oYD/36nmsYj/zo3/7rQyI0lGNWNKPGhbSXU9Kk4AXEtQppR1mX9pj3Fdqo15Jxk1Hw4sMx86Hw0sHg0us6VIPHp6KTYAAAAASUVORK5CYII="><figcaption>RavenQuest</figcaption></figure>
<p>Character progression goes beyond simply leveling up through combat. While slaying monsters is certainly an option, nearly every activity in the game offers experience points. Whether you choose to be a farmer, fisherman, or blacksmith, you’ll find a path to progression that suits your playstyle. The game has three key progression systems: Legacy Level, which tracks your overall growth; Archetype Level, which allows you to unlock more abilities within your chosen archetypes; and Effective Level, which determines your ability to equip gear and unlock skills. The game also employs a unique attribute system that’s flexible, so any attribute can be relevant to any class combination, giving players more creative freedom in how they develop their characters.</p>
<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:948/737;object-fit:contain;" src="https://assets.gam3s.gg/ravenquest_classes_custom_a885e35f04/ravenquest_classes_custom_a885e35f04.png" alt="" width="948" height="737" data-placeholder="data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAoAAAAICAIAAABPmPnhAAAACXBIWXMAABJ0AAASdAHeZh94AAABA0lEQVR4nAH4AAf/AAAeNBwkODdxjj19lGOOoWyGnkmFm0iBk0yElEqCkgAmN0pocoWa5Pad7P+y5/ixts6qzt29//+6+P+l6fEAAAMgJSlElOPvn///ruz/laS5p5u2vd3vzPv/1P//ABAAIC4jOh4qUlBZeFlLbkA5XGNLZmtOXFlMZmpifgAoGjFQREk2PWQwJElFLlhGM1uAb4h9ZnB9bHtjT2IAFAYvQT9aLypOSC1YTjhcVkBliG6QXk1uLhpBRjpaACYbOTUyVEE4XllMd0A0V0pDY2FSeFNDZTAjRj01VwAbECwkHEQiHkgeI04fIUglIEceFz4kHUEwJ0oaFzpVOV7EYF0DMgAAAABJRU5ErkJggg=="><figcaption>RavenQuest</figcaption></figure>
<p>Professions are a core part of RavenQuest’s economy, offering 10 options for players to choose from, including Blacksmithing, Carpentry, Weaving, Cooking, Breeding, Mining, Woodcutting, Farming, Husbandry, and Fishing. Each profession contributes to the player-driven economy, allowing players to gather materials, craft items, and help supply the game’s Tradepack system. Tradepacks are central to the economy, as they’re used to generate Silver, the in-game currency. Players gather resources, package them into Tradepacks, and deliver them to Tradeposts scattered around the world. The economy functions through a self-balancing system that simulates real-world supply and demand, with prices fluctuating based on player activity.</p>
<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:3840/2160;object-fit:contain;" src="https://assets.gam3s.gg/Winter_Break_d70db79016/Winter_Break_d70db79016.png" alt="" width="3840" height="2160" data-placeholder="data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAoAAAAGCAIAAAB1kpiRAAAACXBIWXMAAAsTAAALEwEAmpwYAAAAxUlEQVR4nAG6AEX/AGA7JAgNAFFtQKenlr3YqWh4NFRiI29/SpGgWqLSiQB6OSKCkmjs8dDCxLVIZTx5eFq5taTu7+dva1RkfVcAMAAAVkkycmVRlJKCf3puwsm5kcuwd6+htr2yrqybAGMrD390YaSgmIuJel1kT6iqn2CCeOD//KenmYaLdgClf1iZo4Jvd1yOj33E1rbo4MeKh3Pn581jalJ9jmsA//DOta+Ki5Vlvbmj4uDK5t/Fk5J3i49xlJN2oJuA+HRiOnlvI/8AAAAASUVORK5CYII="><figcaption>RavenQuest</figcaption></figure>
<p>The game also features a robust PvP system with arenas, guild wars, and open-world combat, offering extra rewards for those who participate. However, if PvP isn't your focus, you can easily avoid it and still enjoy the game’s wealth of PvE content, crafting systems, and professions.</p>
<h2>NFTs and Blockchain</h2>
<p>RavenQuest integrates Web3 by giving players real ownership of in-game assets like Estates, mounts, ships, and RavenCards. Estates, which are a key part of the game’s economy, let players farm, gather resources, and build homes. Owning land directly impacts gameplay by allowing you to produce goods faster and create Tradepacks, which are vital for earning Silver. What’s more, landowners get a cut of 50% of all $QUEST generated in the game, making these Estates a valuable long-term asset. There are five different sizes of Estates, ranging from Small to Fort, each determining how much you can produce.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Mounts and ships also exist as NFTs in RavenQuest. Moas, the game’s signature mounts, help players travel faster and transport Tradepacks more efficiently. Through breeding, you can improve your Moas' stats, like speed and strength, to make them even more useful. Ships, on the other hand, are customizable tools for both combat and trade. You can upgrade and tweak your ship’s components to suit your needs, whether you're looking to dominate in battle or move goods across the ocean faster.&nbsp;</p>

<p>RavenCards are another crucial aspect of the game’s customization. These collectible NFT cards give players a way to boost their characters with unique abilities and stats. With 192 cards to collect, each tied to a specific Archetype, RavenCards provide tons of options for tweaking your build to suit your playstyle. The cards come in varying rarities, with higher-tier cards offering stronger buffs, making them highly desirable for both casual players and those looking to dominate in PvP. All of this ties back to the game's economy, which runs on Silver Coins and $QUEST, the premium currency. $QUEST can be earned through gameplay and traded for Silver, cosmetics, and other valuable in-game assets, creating a balanced ecosystem where player effort directly translates into rewards.</p>
<h2>Latest Updates (2025)</h2>
<p>RavenQuest officially launched in March 2025 after months of early access testing and a successful airdrop campaign that rewarded early supporters with $QUEST tokens, RavenCards, and exclusive cosmetic items.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The game’s first major expansion, Treasures Below, went live on August, marking a major leap forward for the world of Ravendawn. The update introduced Expeditions, a roguelike dungeon system filled with scaling challenges and rare loot, along with a new Ranked Arena PvP mode that uses matchmaking and MMR for competitive battles. Two new Archetypes, Ballistics and Naturalist, expanded the total class combinations to more than sixty, giving players more freedom to shape their playstyle. Meanwhile, $QUEST 2.0 reshaped the game’s token economy to reward active engagement through new leaderboards and earning mechanics.</p>
<p>On the economic side, RavenQuest carried out a $20,000 Land NFT buyback in October 2025, reducing circulating supply to stabilize and support asset value.</p>
<h2>How to Get Started</h2>

<h2>Overview</h2><p data-start="533" data-end="1006">Pixels is a browser-based farming and life-sim game that focuses on steady skill progression, resource gathering, and building a personal identity in a shared online world. The game is playable directly on browsers without needing to download anything, and players can join immediately with a simple account. The overall tone of the world is relaxed and cozy, but progression exists in the form of farming efficiency, crafting unlocks, cooking improvements, and land upgrades. The core idea behind Pixels is that the time and effort players invest in the game can be reflected in how their farms, skills, and identities grow.&nbsp;</p><figure class="media"><div data-oembed-url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jW0UfAj0riU"><iframe style="width: 100%;" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/jW0UfAj0riU" width="560" height="352" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div></figure><h2 data-start="1706" data-end="1718">Game Lore</h2><p data-start="1720" data-end="2049">Pixels takes place in the <strong data-start="1746" data-end="1765">Pixels Universe</strong>, a world built from floating landmasses and farming zones connected through small towns, outposts, and traveling paths. Life in the Pixelverse revolves around tending land, gathering resources, trading with others, and uncovering the stories of the characters who populate the world. Story progression comes mainly through <strong data-start="2090" data-end="2100">quests</strong>. These quests introduce players to key regions and characters while gradually revealing more about how the world is structured and how its systems connect. The lore is not presented as a linear storyline but instead through interactions, recurring NPCs, and slow narrative developments tied to seasonal updates.</p><p data-start="2414" data-end="2755">Players start as newcomers who are still learning how to work with the land. Over time, they learn to care for crops, raise animals, craft tools, and interact with the local community. As the world expands, new areas and updates add more context to the universe, including how resources, land, and identity function in a shared social space.</p><h2>Gameplay and Features&nbsp;</h2><p data-start="3146" data-end="3473">Farming is the central activity in Pixels. Players plant crops, water them, wait for them to grow, and harvest them for resources. Crops are used to make food, complete quests, and trade with other players. Farming efficiency increases as the player gains experience, unlocks new crop types, and upgrades tools or land layouts.</p><figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1552/989;" src="https://img.decrypt.co/insecure/rs:fit:3840:0:0:0/plain/https://cdn.decrypt.co/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/pixels-game-03.jpg@webp" alt="Should You Play Ethereum Farming Game 'Pixels' If You Don't Care About  Crypto? - Decrypt" width="1552" height="989"><figcaption>Pixels</figcaption></figure><p data-start="3475" data-end="3815">Alongside farming, players gather <strong data-start="3509" data-end="3559">wood, soil, stone, and other natural materials</strong>. Some resource types are more common, while others require travel to specific areas or working on certain types of land. Progression in Pixels often revolves around unlocking the ability to gather more types of resources at a faster or more reliable rate.</p><figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1753/808;object-fit:contain;" src="https://assets.gam3s.gg/pixels_gameplay_3_5c3de07bf5/pixels_gameplay_3_5c3de07bf5.jpeg" alt="pixels gameplay 3.jpeg" width="1753" height="808"><figcaption>Pixels</figcaption></figure><p data-start="3843" data-end="4044">Pixels includes a <strong data-start="3861" data-end="3879">Cooking system</strong>, where players combine ingredients to create meals and drinks with different effects. These can restore energy, speed up gathering, or support longer play sessions.</p><p data-start="4046" data-end="4375">There is also a <strong data-start="4062" data-end="4085">Woodcrafting system</strong>, which allows players to craft furniture, tools, and decorative items. Crafting recipes often require <strong data-start="4188" data-end="4202">Blueprints</strong>, which can be found, earned, discovered through gameplay, or occasionally given out during events. Some crafted items have practical uses, while others are purely cosmetic.<br><br>Players develop skills simply by using them. The more someone farms, crafts, cooks, fishes, or mines, the stronger their character becomes in those areas. This progression provides a long-term sense of improvement without overwhelming complexity. The pacing is intentionally relaxed and focuses on gradual improvement over time.<br><br>The early portion of the game is guided by <strong data-start="4807" data-end="4825">Chapter Quests</strong>, which introduce core systems in a structured way. These quests help new players learn the world layout, understand farming loops, and unlock new mechanics without needing a tutorial wall of text.

<h2>Gameplay and Features</h2>
<h4>Core Gameplay Loop</h4>
<p>Pirate Nation’s gameplay revolves around energy management and exploration in the procedurally generated Infinite Isles. Players use energy to send pirates on quests, gather resources, and engage in combat, all of which reward experience points (XP). As pirates level up, they unlock new abilities and become capable of completing more difficult tasks, including higher-level quests and bounties. Additionally, gems can be used to speed up quest timers, replenish energy, or replace missing resources for quests, allowing players to earn more XP faster, which in turn leads to higher pirate levels</p>
<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:931/580;object-fit:contain;" src="https://assets.gam3s.gg/pirate_nation_combined_1_d319a87bf9/pirate_nation_combined_1_d319a87bf9.png" alt="" width="931" height="580" data-placeholder="data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAoAAAAGCAIAAAB1kpiRAAAACXBIWXMAABJ0AAASdAHeZh94AAAAxUlEQVR4nAG6AEX/AFRsbIWShQA3Uw1GXxdMXTJVYmV5dQA0UR1VdV6LnwBxjZLC28oiVG0ZTWgANVMJPl8lVXAiVGo3aIElXIEAqrGx8vzuU3eFE0JdAC1IADRNFkJdF0RaN192CkFcAISMh9Xb0UBdbhI8VgAaMxRJaStdfwAaMwAiOwAjPAAYMT5OX2QAEy0eQFUABiY0SlU4VWk0SV4yTWIAJ0MACiEuOEtRAAUiEDFFAAUiAAAEAAknsYrWvpXkrYq0upA3qxLUGS0AAAAASUVORK5CYII="></figure>
<p>Pirate Nation’s card-based combat system features five elemental affinities (fire, earth, lightning, air, water) and five expertise types (accuracy, speed, damage, evasion, health). Each pirate's unique combination of these traits determines their combat effectiveness. You can upgrade your ships to introduce new cards and enhance combat performance. The game includes both player versus environment (PvE) and player versus player (PvP) modes, allowing you to test your skills against AI-controlled enemies in various quests or compete against other players in real-time for a competitive edge.</p>
<p>A key part of the combat system is the Gauntlet mode, which offers normal and hard difficulties with different rewards. Completing gauntlet challenges earns you Command Rank, unlocking trading and other in-game benefits. Deck building is vital for success, allowing you to create custom decks that align with your pirates' elemental affinities and expertise types. This strategic element lets you tailor your approach to different combat scenarios. For tips on gauntlet enemies and deckbuilding, the <a href="https://piratenation.taverns.world/deckBuilder" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Tavern Deckbuilder</a> is a helpful resource.</p>

<p>Exploration is a big part of Pirate Nation. You can dive on quests across the Infinite Isles, find hidden treasures, and fight creatures. The world is procedurally generated, so every quest is unique. Completing quests and bounties rewards you with items, resources, and XP, essential for leveling up your pirates and ships. Players can build settlement buildings, like the Shipwright, on their islands. These buildings act as player-owned businesses that other players can use for a fee. Building and upgrading these structures adds depth to the player economy and offers more ways to earn resources.</p>
<p>Pirate Nation hosts global events, such as world bosses and team-coordination challenges, introducing new mechanics and rewards. The game also has gacha experiences, where players can win exclusive items and skins through events like the Wishing Well.&nbsp;PvP was introduced as part of the game’s most recent updates, allowing players to create or join PvP lobbies using a code-based system. PvP battles pit players against one another, Future updates plan to introduce leaderboards and more balanced rewards.</p>

<p>Pirate Nation supports user-generated content (UGC) and modding, letting players create and share new gameplay experiences. This openness encourages creativity and extends the game's lifespan. The game's modding platform is permissionless, meaning all game logic and data are publicly available onchain for anyone to build on.</p>
<h2>NFTs and Web3</h2>
<h4>Founder’s Pirates</h4>
<p><a href="https://marketplace.proofofplay.com/nft/game.piratenation.piratenft?chain=mainnet" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Founder’s Pirates</a> are the premier NFTs in the Pirate Nation ecosystem. Initially, owning a Founder’s Pirate was the only way to access the game. These NFTs are unique and offer exclusive benefits, such as special quests and early access to future games. To accommodate new players without diminishing the value of the original NFTs, the game introduced Gen1 Pirates, which are soulbound and free to mint. While Gen1 Pirates allow new players to join and play, they do not provide the exclusive benefits that Founder’s Pirates offer, maintaining the prestige and value of the original collection. A more precise explanation of these NFTs differences is explained in this infographic.</p>
<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1673/905;object-fit:contain;" src="https://assets.gam3s.gg/pirate_nft_comparisons_7a82b89d65/pirate_nft_comparisons_7a82b89d65.png" alt="" width="1673" height="905" data-placeholder="data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAoAAAAFCAIAAADzBuo/AAAACXBIWXMAABJ0AAASdAHeZh94AAAApklEQVR4nAGbAGT/AAAmVrjH/8rX/yRJehY5cAQuXI2f1q+79QYvXzdRgwAAFjzE//++//82UXZvhKUAACit5fLA//8sPV7OwtIAACRNV4CTSHWGAClRBS1QAB9HQGZ+OmV6ABM6KEZgAAcxXpip3Y6j3zRLbFRbagAnWKS255+27SU0WWtmgQAAGT6Ty9eNzdwxR2NbZHcAAC6RyNOT1+ckITSEZWVdwEGy/+uAVQAAAABJRU5ErkJggg=="></figure>
<h4>$PIRATE Token</h4>
<p>$PIRATE is an ERC-20 token on the Ethereum Mainnet used within Pirate Nation. Players can convert $PIRATE to Gems, used for various in-game activities like purchasing energy and speeding up quests. The tokenomics of $PIRATE aim to empower the community, with most tokens allocated to players and ecosystem pools. Staking $PIRATE and Founder’s Pirates NFTs earns players Proof of Play Points, rewarding early supporters.</p>
<p>Pirate Nation's economy is fully onchain, ensuring transparency and fairness. The game uses three types of currencies: Pirate Gold (soft currency), Gems (hard currency), and $PIRATE (ERC-20 token). Players earn and spend these currencies through various in-game activities. The economy balances free-to-play and play-to-earn models, allowing players to trade resources and items on the <a href="https://marketplace.proofofplay.com/nft/game.piratenation.tradeablegameitems?chain=apex" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Proof of Play Marketplace</a>.</p>
<h2>How to Get Started</h2>
<p>Pirate Nation is now available on <a href="https://piratenation.game/play" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">browsers</a>, making it easy for anyone to dive into the adventure. If you're looking to fully immerse yourself in the game and unlock additional perks and earning opportunities, consider acquiring either the <a href="https://marketplace.proofofplay.com/nft/game.piratenation.piratenft?chain=mainnet" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Founder's Pirates</a> or Gen1 Pirates. These special characters not only enhance your gameplay experience but also provide unique advantages that can give you a competitive edge.&nbsp;<br><br></p>

<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.

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>

<h2>Overview</h2><p>The only Web3 game to be backed by Supercell, Moonfrost aims to attract both traditional players transitioning into digital play and dedicated Web3 audiences, featuring a unique “prepare-to-earn” design that allows players to earn in-game and own in-game assets in an optional yet meaningful way that’s not only highly approachable but is integrated at a narrative and gameplay level into the core experience. Moonfrostgame combines the charm of beloved classics like Stardew Valley and Animal Crossing with a modern twist.<br>&nbsp;</p><figure class="media"><div data-oembed-url="https://www.youtube.com/embed/IreVzUhTA4A"><iframe style="width: 100%;" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/IreVzUhTA4A" width="560" height="352" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div></figure><p>Set in a world full of mystery and wonder, Moonfrost's lore centers around a substance called Frost, which begins falling from the skies, altering the world and its inhabitants. Players will uncover the secrets behind Frost through interactions with a diverse cast of characters, each with their own stories and challenges. This narrative weaves a tale of unity and overcoming differences in a time of division​</p><h2 data-start="1196" data-end="1212"><strong data-start="1199" data-end="1212">Game Lore</strong></h2><p data-start="1214" data-end="1568">Moonfrost takes place in a once-peaceful region now experiencing the arrival of <strong data-start="1294" data-end="1303">Frost</strong>, a shimmering substance that began falling from the sky. Frost changes the land in unpredictable ways. Strange spires appear during certain weather events, glowing with energy, and both wildlife and people react differently depending on how exposed they are to it.</p><p data-start="1570" data-end="1937">You arrive as a newcomer, meeting villagers who all have their own histories and personal challenges relating to Frost. Some see it as a resource to be studied. Others fear what it may be changing inside them. Relationships matter here. Every character has a role in the story, and learning their perspectives is a big part of understanding why the world is shifting.</p><h2>Gameplay and Features</h2><p>Immerse yourself in an enchanting next-gen pixel art world soaked in atmospheric lighting and relaxed lo-fi beats.&nbsp;FROSTfall is a unique weather state and community-wide event that causes shards of FROST (the token of Moonfrost) to rain down from the sky, causing FROST Spires to rise from the ground, which can be mined with others to earn the token before FROSTfall ends and they shatter.</p><figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1920/1080;object-fit:contain;" src="https://assets.gam3s.gg/Moonfrost_game_image_1_acd0947fc7/Moonfrost_game_image_1_acd0947fc7.png" alt="" width="1920" height="1080" data-placeholder="data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAoAAAAGCAIAAAB1kpiRAAAACXBIWXMAAAsTAAALEwEAmpwYAAAAxUlEQVR4nAG6AEX/AE9PgTs1ZFNHcranv9m0x//W5v/H3P/j9v/k+P/l8wBXX5RMS3WUhZ+dhad9XIniorTotsvluc3/0d//3eoAAiFUZlZ0yo+ainOPlHKaw4mip3mUu4Sg5J63+a7IACciR0hEZVlFZVpBbGQ/XFo3U31YalUsQHdGXMSHmgCGepB0co9OOVpOKUAZAA5ZPVFsSlwkABCfeX24h5IAeXSO3bLY/9H8LhctHQsdcldpRiUvJgMSUi01SiMwXllZgKiFK7oAAAAASUVORK5CYII="><figcaption>Moonfrost</figcaption></figure><p>Farm crops and gather resources and unlock countless crafting recipes that will allow you to progress, build your dream home and expand your gameplay capabilities to better prepare for when FROSTfall is active.

We are all Moonfrost.&nbsp; This is Moonfrost — and the adventure is only just beginning.</p><h2>NFTs and Blockchain</h2><p data-start="120" data-end="1191">Moonfrost integrates web3 elements in a way that feels optional and supportive rather than required. Players can enjoy the full farming, crafting, building, and exploration experience without ever interacting with blockchain features. However, for those who choose to connect through Open Loot, Moonfrost introduces a player-owned layer of tradeable digital collectibles that tie directly into crafting progression and the game’s economy. The main collectible assets include Frost Workbenches, FROSTprints (blueprints), and Luck Charms.&nbsp;</p><figure class="image"><img src="https://assets.gam3s.gg/Moonfrost_nft_items_85d91a76f1.webp" alt="Moonfrost nft items.webp" srcset="https://assets.gam3s.gg/xsmall_Moonfrost_nft_items_85d91a76f1.webp 64w, https://assets.gam3s.gg/thumbnail_Moonfrost_nft_items_85d91a76f1.webp 245w, https://assets.gam3s.gg/small_Moonfrost_nft_items_85d91a76f1.webp 500w, https://assets.gam3s.gg/medium_Moonfrost_nft_items_85d91a76f1.webp 1000w" sizes="100vw" width="1000"><figcaption>Moonfrost</figcaption></figure><p data-start="120" data-end="1191">Workbenches and blueprints determine what a player can craft and at what rarity, and both of these can be freely traded or rented between players. Meanwhile, Luck Charms can be attached to crafted tools to boost the “Luck” stat, which increases the chances of receiving rare drops from everyday activities such as mining, fishing, lumbering, or gathering. Once a tool is crafted, however, it becomes account-bound and cannot be traded, keeping the impact of progression tied to the player’s time and playstyle rather than speculation.</p><figure class="image"><img src="https://assets.gam3s.gg/Moonfrost_Economy_1_64686f110f.webp" alt="Moonfrost Economy 1.webp" srcset="https://assets.gam3s.gg/xsmall_Moonfrost_Economy_1_64686f110f.webp 64w, https://assets.gam3s.gg/thumbnail_Moonfrost_Economy_1_64686f110f.webp 245w, https://assets.gam3s.gg/small_Moonfrost_Economy_1_64686f110f.webp 500w, https://assets.gam3s.gg/medium_Moonfrost_Economy_1_64686f110f.webp 1000w, https://assets.gam3s.gg/large_Moonfrost_Economy_1_64686f110f.webp 1920w" sizes="100vw" width="1920"><figcaption>Moonfrost</figcaption></figure><p data-start="1193" data-end="1857">The game also features a layered currency system that mixes standard in-game soft currencies with a future on-chain token. Standard currencies like Sil, Craftcoin, and event tickets are available to every player and support normal progression. Players who choose to link their account receive CRYO, a placeholder gameplay currency that will later transition once the official FROST token launches. Liquid Luck exists as a premium off-chain currency for convenience purchases but is never required. This structure keeps the gameplay fair while allowing the web3 economy to operate as an opt-in system for players who want deeper ownership and trading opportunities.</p><h2>How to Get Started</h2><p data-start="339" data-end="585">Moonfrost is currently in <strong data-start="365" data-end="381">Early Access</strong>, and you’ll need a <strong data-start="401" data-end="414">Gnome Key</strong> to join.

<h2>Overview</h2><p>Parallel Studios is developing a trading card game called Parallel, which operates on the play-and-earn principle and utilizes NFTs. The game is being built within a decentralized ecosystem established by the Echelon Prime Foundation (Echelon).&nbsp;</p><p>The game's storyline is set in a dystopian future where Earth has become uninhabitable due to a cataclysmic tragedy known as "The Event," caused by a new form of fission using anti-matter as fuel. The radiation from this event forced humanity to flee to space, splitting into three expeditions to Mars, Europa, and the outskirts of the asteroid belt.</p><figure class="media"><div data-oembed-url="https://www.youtube.com/embed/fIw_kHqE2Rw"><iframe style="width: 100%;" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/fIw_kHqE2Rw" width="560" height="352" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div></figure><p>Thousands of years later, as each parallel of humanity prospered in their respective locations, they discovered that Earth had become a planet of pure, harvestable energy due to the maturation process sparked by "The Event."

To play the game, players need at least one complete deck consisting of 40 cards, which can belong to a single Parallel or a combination of Universal cards that can be used in all decks.</p><p>The game features several modes, including The Ladder, where players face off against each other one-on-one, and Sectors, which allows players to build an initial 30-card deck and progress to the next battle if they win, with the option to replace some cards within the deck. The rookie queue is a training ground for new players, with access to immutable rookie decks that can be customized as they progress.</p><p>If you're familiar with traditional trading card games like Hearthstone, you'll find that Parallel incorporates classic TCG mechanics with its own unique twist. The game features a variety of keywords and abilities that may remind seasoned players of those classic dynamics, yet it brings fresh strategic depth and challenges to the table. Abilities like "Assault" supercharge units like the Unseen Commando after dishing out damage to opponents, while "Armed" gives units the upper hand by letting them strike first in combat. "Defender" allows units to block incoming attacks, safeguarding your key players. The "Muster" ability kicks in when a unit hits the field, ramping up your strategic options. There are also "Pacifist" units that, although they can't attack, can still defend if paired with the right abilities. "Decay" adds a layer of strategy with a ticking damage effect from Earthen cards, and "Attuned" toggles units between active and dormant states, creating timing challenges. Lastly, "Shielded" units dodge the next targeted effect, potentially thwarting your opponent's plans.</p><h2>NFTs and Blockchain&nbsp;</h2><p>Parallel sets itself apart in the trading card game (TCG) landscape by harnessing the power of blockchain technology, which not only empowers players with genuine ownership of their digital assets but also offers unprecedented freedom in trading these assets. At the core of Parallel's appeal are its cards, which players can buy, sell, and trade on the game's dedicated <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://parallel.life/cards">marketplace </a>using the in-game currency, $PRIME. Each card is distinct, featuring various levels of rarity and cosmetic effects.</p><figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1902/827;object-fit:contain;" src="https://assets.gam3s.gg/parallel_cards_c7033b7965/parallel_cards_c7033b7965.png" alt="" width="1902" height="827" data-placeholder="data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAoAAAAECAIAAAA4WjmaAAAACXBIWXMAABJ0AAASdAHeZh94AAAAh0lEQVR4nAF8AIP/AAQDBxwbGUNHPY2VoJRdWZ1SQHF4b76Ban5hXGBXWQAUExQ5OTaFiIWBfn1YOTlgMy1gX1ZaQz9TQURQRkkACxkhIS43Lz1Kp6qxiWVTJiwnQFRTlKOlgJGTYWhmAC4/T0pVaUVRXu/+/4ViWFZNQIGkoGFtbU5VVUFDQc85KybsEdvkAAAAAElFTkSuQmCC"></figure><p>In addition to cards, Parallel has other collectibles. Notably, <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://opensea.io/collection/parallel-avatars">Parallel Avatars</a> represent unique characters from the game’s five factions and play a pivotal role within the expansive Parallel universe. Setting an Avatar as your profile not only personalizes your gaming experience but also grants bonuses such as an extra $PRIME upon winning matches and early access to future updates of the game.<br>&nbsp;</p><figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1400/350;object-fit:contain;" src="https://assets.gam3s.gg/parallel_avatars_5f74c4d393/parallel_avatars_5f74c4d393.jpg" alt="" width="1400" height="350" data-placeholder="data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAoAAAACCAIAAADuA9qHAAAACXBIWXMAAAsTAAALEwEAmpwYAAAASUlEQVR4nAE+AMH/AIdxaLmppikcFvLXzU9RUePu+VZWVqGgphUAAP/w9ABMQT13bW8eGRtwamSDgoG5uboxLitUTk4dFRLawcWFSxtzcxnXXwAAAABJRU5ErkJggg=="></figure><p>Furthermore, the game introduces an array of <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://opensea.io/collection/parallelalpha?search[query]=key">Keys</a>, each offering different in-game advantages and rewards. These Keys can dramatically affect gameplay; for example, some increase $PRIME earnings, grant access to exclusive content, or provide additional strategic options during matches. This includes the Overclock Key, which rewards win streaks with more $PRIME, and the Multifold Key, which amplifies the effects of NFTs in your deck.</p><h2 data-start="130" data-end="159">Latest Game Updates (2025)</h2><p data-start="161" data-end="619">Throughout 2025, Parallel focused on making the game easier to start and more meaningful to play long-term. The starter progression was reworked so new players unlock Paragons and faction tools just by playing matches, letting them build functional decks without needing NFTs. Parallel League continued to evolve into the core competitive mode, with ranked seasons that clearly track improvement and seasonal rewards tied to performance rather than grinding.</p><p data-start="621" data-end="1144">On the competitive side, the year was defined by the Parallel Prime Championship circuit. The season opened with the championship event in Las Vegas and continued through a structured calendar of Opens, Minors, and Majors across the year. Smaller Opens provided accessible entry points for emerging players, Minors served as stepping stones, and Majors offered the biggest prize pools and direct qualification paths. The system made it easier to follow storylines, rising players, and faction trends throughout each season.</p><p data-start="1146" data-end="1576">PRIME rewards and NFT-related bonuses were also rebalanced to keep the economy stable and competitive integrity intact. Avatar and Key effects were tuned to focus more on identity and progression pacing rather than match power.</p><h2>How to Get Started</h2><p>Parallel is now available for everyone to jump in and play.

While each Summon's individual skill set distinguishes them from others, they understand that their collective strength is what truly makes them formidable.</p><figure class="image image_resized" style="width:75%;"><img style="aspect-ratio:600/338;" src="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/497120/52e022208f84770e07fefda4eff71fb86eb3b1df/ss_52e022208f84770e07fefda4eff71fb86eb3b1df.600x338.jpg?t=1761280009" alt="Screenshot #1" width="600" height="338"><figcaption>Wildcard</figcaption></figure><h2>Champions</h2><p>In Wildcard, numerous worlds send their finest champions to compete in the arena. Every hero, accompanied by their sidekick and summoned creatures, contributes a distinct set of abilities to the battlefield. At the moment, only two champions have been revealed; Bolgar and Locke. We take a deep dive into the lore and history of each character.&nbsp;</p><h4>Bolgar</h4><figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1080/1080;object-fit:contain;" src="https://assets.gam3s.gg/bolgar_3e586a09ea/bolgar_3e586a09ea.jpg" alt="bolgar.jpg" width="1080" height="1080"><figcaption>Wildcard</figcaption></figure><p>Bolgar, originally known as Neralis, was once the prince and heir to the throne of the Saering royal family. As a young boy, he was betrayed by his jealous younger brother and cast into a deep crevasse while playing in the woods. Within the crevasse, Bolgar encountered a bear cub, and they engaged in a fierce battle. Both sustained injuries, and their blood mingled, creating a magical connection that caused them to fuse into a single being - they became "werebeared."&nbsp;</p><p>Bolgar was drawn to the sport of Wildcard. His ability to recognize the unique talents of other creatures and incorporate them into his gameplay made him a formidable strategist. Bolgar's deep understanding of his teammates allowed him to become a better leader, as he embraced his role as one of the champions in the Wildcard arena.</p><h4>Locke</h4><figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:4096/4096;object-fit:contain;" src="https://assets.gam3s.gg/locke_97f405b04e/locke_97f405b04e.jpg" alt="locke.jpg" width="4096" height="4096"><figcaption>Wildcard</figcaption></figure><p>Locke is the rising star of the Chronian Wildcard team. As a former lead techno-engineer, he was responsible for creating many of the robots and upgrades used by the Chronos Royals in battle. Despite his background, Locke always dreamed of playing Wildcard himself and even developed his own unique ability, Chronowarp, in case the opportunity ever arose.</p><p>Locke's chance finally came when King Valla announced "open tryouts" – allowing any citizen of Chronos to compete against Prince Boone for a spot on the Wildcard team. The tryouts were a mere facade, as King Valla intended to appear egalitarian, assuming no other Chronians could possibly defeat his son. However, he was in for a shock when a masked man in a flowing techno-cloak appeared, wielding the never-before-seen Chronowarp power, and consistently defeated Boone.</p><p>Frustrated, King Valla demanded the mysterious contender to reveal his identity. As Locke removed his helmet, the crowd recognized him as the lowly engineer and celebrated him as the new champion of the people. By Valla's own rules, Locke was promoted to the Chronos Wildcard team, displacing Boone from the major league. This turn of events left the entire royal family humiliated and Boone enraged.</p><h2 data-start="100" data-end="120">Decks and Summons</h2><figure class="image image_resized" style="width:75%;"><img src="https://assets.gam3s.gg/W_Ilcard_deck_7e0b35e3ad.jpg" alt="WIlcard deck.jpg" srcset="https://assets.gam3s.gg/xsmall_W_Ilcard_deck_7e0b35e3ad.jpg 64w, https://assets.gam3s.gg/thumbnail_W_Ilcard_deck_7e0b35e3ad.jpg 245w, https://assets.gam3s.gg/small_W_Ilcard_deck_7e0b35e3ad.jpg 500w" sizes="100vw" width="500"><figcaption>Wildcard Deck&nbsp;</figcaption></figure><p data-start="122" data-end="547">In Wildcard, your deck determines the lineup of summons you can call into the arena during a match. Each summon has a defined role — some hold the frontline and soak pressure, others deal burst damage, provide ranged support, or disrupt enemy positioning. Your Champion fights in real time, while your summons help control space, create openings, and shift momentum, making deck choices just as important as mechanical skill.</p><p data-start="549" data-end="975">Building a strong deck is about synergy with your Champion’s abilities and your teammate’s playstyle. Aggressive Champions may lean on fast, high-impact summons to push tempo, while defensive or control-focused Champions might rely on shielders, area control units, or disruptive creatures to shape the pace of the fight.</p><h2>Wildfile</h2><p>Wildcard's Wildfile feature offers a dynamic digital profile for players, enabling them to document and showcase their gaming achievements and status. This tool allows players to connect globally, participate in collectible challenges, and earn unique rewards and badges. Additionally, the Wildfile facilitates competition by tracking players' involvement in game events through an extensive leaderboard system. Players can also customize their avatars, personalizing their presence in the Wildcard universe to reflect their unique identity and preferences.<br>&nbsp;</p><figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:802/592;object-fit:contain;" src="https://assets.gam3s.gg/wildfile_8ef354bb1c/wildfile_8ef354bb1c.png" alt="" width="802" height="592" data-placeholder="data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAoAAAAHCAIAAAC+zks0AAAACXBIWXMAABJ0AAASdAHeZh94AAAA5ElEQVR4nAHZACb/ANHR1r65p87Ep9bOvNbLu9zX0ePcyOPbyOXdzeTcyADEyNG7o17TtFnHrG67m3HQvqPXsUPUr0rVtFvPpzwA6+zt7O3r3d3dzs7N0NDQztHV0dTX4eLj6Onq6OnqAOTl6PX2+o2PkD8/QDY3OUs7KykjHXp8f/r6/Obn6gDk5ej29vqLi4sqLzVWRyiKTABYKQBxdXn7/P7m5+oA5OXo+Pn7gICBAAAAIx4SUDgNHwAAamxt////5ebpAOXm6e/w9LKytXJycnF0eHl/hl9laaqrrfX4+ebn6jBkireLU4cpAAAAAElFTkSuQmCC"><figcaption>Wildcard WildFile&nbsp;</figcaption></figure><h2>NFTs and Blockchain</h2><p>Recently, Wildcard launched its first NFT collection called the <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.wildcardgame.com/wildpass">Wildpass</a>, which quickly sold out on <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://magiceden.io/collections/polygon/0xef41141fbc0a7c870f30fee81c6214582dc2a494">Magic Eden</a>.

sparkball cover.jpg

<h2>Overview</h2>
<p>Sparkball is an adrenaline-packed 4v4 competitive action game developed by <a href="https://beopti.gg/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Opti Games</a>. It uniquely blends the fast-paced combat of a brawler with the strategic depth of a MOBA (Multiplayer Online Battle Arena). Often compared to a mix of League of Legends and Rocket League, Sparkball focuses on balancing scoring goals and engaging in combat. This combination creates a high-energy experience that demands both strategic thinking and quick reflexes, making each match a thrilling challenge.</p>
<h2>Gameplay and Features</h2>
<p>Sparkball's gameplay is centered around intense 4v4 matches where players control unique heroes with distinct abilities. The game is played from a top-down perspective, and the main objective is to score goals by getting the ball into the enemy’s net while also engaging in combat to control the ball. Unlike traditional MOBAs, Sparkball does not have lanes or minions, focusing instead on direct player interaction and skill-based combat.</p>
<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1920/1040;object-fit:contain;" src="https://assets.gam3s.gg/Sparkball_Map_Topdown_22a8e8dca2/Sparkball_Map_Topdown_22a8e8dca2.png" alt="" width="1920" height="1040" data-placeholder="data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAoAAAAFCAIAAADzBuo/AAAACXBIWXMAAAsTAAALEwEAmpwYAAAApklEQVR4nAGbAGT/APvg9dWvu21SNKq5rI6beb60nd/R2/zg7//z/2lWYACwj5fT8f+UgWmIZi1uY0VnUjKNeFuViHymkLJcNEcAMD8ZcoppkYuHmZRgiqdpi5toeWlNc0Q/KA0ceWOAAC46BmZdM0dVPD9lKmJxMGx0Lk1OHzouLiMAABcAHACBZ3GZcXWGfnxPQBdaPRJeRiOWjohmeqdBKz4kN2Wi+UH3d0glTAAAAABJRU5ErkJggg=="></figure>
<p>Each hero in Sparkball has unique abilities that influence their playstyle and role within the team. Players must work together, utilizing their heroes' strengths to outplay the opposing team. The game emphasizes strategic passing and positioning, with players needing to manage their fatigue levels while carrying the ball. Special pickups and augments add variety and depth to each match, providing unique advantages and encouraging dynamic gameplay strategies.</p>
<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1280/720;object-fit:contain;" src="https://assets.gam3s.gg/Sparkball_heroes_a88bfeb89d/Sparkball_heroes_a88bfeb89d.jpg" alt="" width="1280" height="720" data-placeholder="data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAoAAAAGCAIAAAB1kpiRAAAACXBIWXMAAAsTAAALEwEAmpwYAAAAxUlEQVR4nAG6AEX/AP/Irf+vhf+bYf+jZf+weP+tg/+MXf+viv/Anv+jewDWp3bQiGLNh0GgbUvQkX/QaFvEblqcck3/z5v/1qgAS7jXYVtTVj1HRyw4TTdYTzt1NCxIcnFLsoRQ/v/sAACW7jc0QWMvUT4zSkJTVlM2PAArQyEwMBskIwCJtwCwlIo3CRRWEyd9VFdSPDs2AABSVXUBapEAkL0pxP8An5urYV+ARWCBfoiYT1txDn6qIr35JLv/Fq7/AJ7zfFpVf3Fyw/8AAAAASUVORK5CYII="></figure>
<p>One of the core aspects of Sparkball is its ball-handling mechanics. Players can pick up the ball by walking over it and can pass it to teammates using either direct or lob passes. Direct passes are fast and accurate, ideal for quick plays, while lob passes can cover more distance but are slower and easier to intercept. Managing these passes and maintaining control of the ball under pressure is key to success. Combat in Sparkball is fast-paced and relies heavily on player skill. Heroes have abilities that can be used to attack opponents, defend teammates, or disrupt enemy plays. Fatigue is an important mechanic to consider; as players carry the ball, their fatigue level increases, making them more vulnerable to attacks. If a player’s fatigue reaches a certain point, they will become "broken" and drop the ball, creating opportunities for the opposing team.</p>
<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1920/1080;object-fit:contain;" src="https://assets.gam3s.gg/Sparkball_screen1_995958473d/Sparkball_screen1_995958473d.jpg" alt="" width="1920" height="1080" data-placeholder="data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAoAAAAGCAIAAAB1kpiRAAAACXBIWXMAAAsTAAALEwEAmpwYAAAAxUlEQVR4nAG6AEX/AC1OXmudm43IwIK2spvBxZugqbu6xZGyuGWdlFxxeABAaXB8uKWCuaWCqJbA68eYx6qy68CJva2Ws7J/nJ0AUoJqjMSQaZVjwM6L5P+itNN+puKQts+h8M7Pn5WaAFqEWWyaYF2ESeH/lNT/l6TGdoW2aPDQo//z5uXArwAVRTxVo2RecVeEdWxwgXBLeluNdlq0jXKRbmpnS04ANlVmPGBOAA0OABYkCSlSIzRTK0M0ER0AOEwpGUYytyVd9kwNlb0AAAAASUVORK5CYII="></figure>
<p>Pickups scattered across the map provide temporary boosts or abilities, similar to power-ups in games like Super Smash Bros. These pickups can turn the tide of a match by giving players tools like grappling hooks, speed boosts, or even weapons to knock opponents out of the way. Additionally, between rounds, players can choose from various augments that enhance their hero’s abilities, adding a layer of strategy and customization to each game.</p>
<p>In Sparkball, teamwork and communication are crucial. Players need to coordinate their movements, plan their attacks, and execute strategies to outmaneuver the opposing team. Whether focusing on scoring goals or dominating in combat, a well-coordinated team has a significant advantage.</p>
<h2>NFTs and Web3</h2>
<p>Sparkball, previously known as "Sparkadia," is making a strong return to the web3 space with the support of Opti Games. The game initially featured Sparkadia NFTs on the Immutable blockchain, but the rebranding may bring changes. Future announcements will clarify whether existing NFTs will still be relevant in Sparkball.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Sparkadia covers the studio's broad range of media, including books, TV shows, and future games, as well as the web3 ecosystem. It acts as a comprehensive platform like Battle.net and serves as a companion app for Sparkball, similar to how Skyrim uses mods. The token and NFT utility within Sparkadia include staking, identity and ownership, user-generated content and custom maps, fantasy sports and betting, and tailgating</p>
<h2>How to Get Started</h2>
<p>Sparkball is currently in its early development stage and is expected to launch in Q2 2025. The game can already be wishlisted on <a href="https://store.steampowered.com/app/672890/Sparkball/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Steam</a>. Players eager to try out this MOBA and Rocket League hybrid can participate in the upcoming Sparkball Season Zero event. This exclusive 10-day early access period will feature exciting tournaments and rewards for invited players.

<h2>Overview</h2>
<p>Champions Ascension brings back the Roman empire's gladiator days, but this time in the&nbsp;Colosseum Eternal arena. The game brings with it a high stakes adventure <a href="https://gam3s.gg/genres/fighting/" target="_self" rel="noopener noreferrer">fighting </a>gameplay and rich lore of the characters living within Massina's world.&nbsp;Engage in gladiatorial combat as your chosen Champion strives to bring glory to his or her House in Massina. Whether you become forgotten in the Ministry of Bone, or ascend as an Eternal, your fate will be determined by violent clashes between the essences themselves.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Develop your own story, and influence Massina. Collect, train, equip, and manage your own stable of brave and brutal gladiators.&nbsp;In Massina, they worship the god of combat. Blood on the sand symbolizes sacrifice, as legends are made in the Colosseum Eternal. With taverns, games, adventure, and political intrigue, you will be able to make new allies, venture into Massina, and experience an immersive world.&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Champions NFTs</h2>
<p>The world of Massina revolves around Champions NFTs. Players will start off new characters as grunts and have to ascend them to challenger, gladiator and finally the eternal tier where they can become an NFT.&nbsp; As you fight in the arena, you will earn essence and other resources needed to level-up and ascend your champion. Players can also earn Gold through arena victories and holding Prime Eternal NFTs. This currency is key to various in-game activities, from summoning Grunts to crafting Essence Crystals.</p>

<p>Due to the fact that each part contributes to the Champion's abilities differently, this makes battles always feel fresh, as each Champion will be able to gain or lose different advantages based on the Family and Class it belongs to, as well as the essences of its parts. In addition to 12 Families, there are 6 Classes, 2 Families per Class, and 7 Essences that each Champion derives its power from. Their breakdown can be found below:</p>
<h5>Essence</h5>
<ul><li>Life</li><li>Arcane</li><li>Death</li><li>Fire</li><li>Water</li><li>Earth</li><li>Air</li></ul>
<h5>Class</h5>
<ul><li>Demon</li><li>Beast</li><li>Celestial</li><li>Humanoid</li><li>Dragonkind</li><li>Undead</li></ul>
<h5>Evolution</h5>
<ul><li>Challenger</li><li>Gladiator</li><li>Eternal</li><li>Prime Eternal</li></ul>
<p>The Prime Eternal are the highest tier of champions and what all players in Champions Ascension should strive to have. They are a collection of 7622 NFTs that are all unique and no more will ever be minted again. They bring special perks for their holders, namely daily rewards, and having the strongest Divine combat parts.</p>

<p>The current alpha stage of Champions Ascension focuses on multiplayer PvP modes such as 1v1, 3v3, and Free-For-All.&nbsp;As Champions ascend through tiers, they unlock Feat Cards, special abilities that can significantly impact battles, such as instantly recharging dashes or inflicting a bleed effect on opponents, adding strategic depth and unpredictability to every fight​. There's also a dungeon fight against the crocodile boss "Old Sally", with the promise of more PvE modes down the road as well. Your goal in each mode is the goal of every champion, stay alive and finish off your opponents.</p>
<p>The major factors that affect the battle for each champion are...</p>
<p><b>Family:</b> dictates certain aspects of a champion's traits, including speed, health, damage, movesets, and the Fury of the Titans ultimate.&nbsp;</p>
<p><b>Essence:</b> A champion's core essence plays into how much damage you receive and take from other essence types. Each essence has an advantage against one other type of essence.&nbsp;</p>
<p><b>Parts:</b> Each champion that is ascended to the Challenger tier or above will have 5 part abilities. Each part provides the character with a unique special attack that is power rated based on the part's rarity and level.</p>
<p><b>Environment:</b> Lure enemies into traps or knock them into lava to deal massive amounts of damage.<br></p>

<p>Each PvP mode also has a hardcore option in which you can earn the game’s premium currency of gold. Be careful though, if your champion dies in hardcore and isn’t eternal, it will face permanent death. Once dead the champion is only good for sending to the butcher to receive bone, used to craft and purchase other items.</p>

<p><b>Ascending to Eternal NFTs<br></b></p>
<p>As you recruit new champions, they will start out as Grunts that can ascend through the ranks to challenger, gladiator and eternal tiers. To level up your character you must battle and earn the essence of your opponents. Essence can be consumed raw to gain XP or crafted into crystals that can be traded to other players for crypto, or consumed for additional bonus XP.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<p>Both crystals and scrolls are needed to ascend your champion to the next tier. These items can be earned or crafted in game. You can also trade these items with other players on the marketplace.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Each tier you gain will give your champion more power and also applies bonus XP to your account’s progression of Chrono XP. The higher tier your account is, the more rewards you earn.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Ascending your champion to become Eternal will be a tough road. Once there you can transmute your champion into an NFT. Keep them for special bonuses and glory, or sell your powerful champion to other players, the choice is yours! </p>

<h2>Overview</h2><p>MapleStory Universe represents a groundbreaking evolution in the realm of online gaming. Integrating MapleStory NFTs at its core, this virtual world ecosystem offers a unique blend of tangible and intangible values, revolutionizing player interaction and ownership.&nbsp;</p><p>Originating in 2003 in South Korea, MapleStory, a beloved <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://gam3s.gg/genres/mmorpg/">MMORPG</a>, has captivated over 250 million players globally with its engaging 2D side-scrolling gameplay, evolving into a cultural phenomenon with over $5 billion in revenue.&nbsp;Nexpace (Blockchain arm of Nexon), the game's developer, has now innovatively merged MapleStory with blockchain technology, enhancing the gaming experience and ushering in a new era for this iconic game.</p><figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1200/687;object-fit:contain;" src="https://assets.gam3s.gg/MAPLEU_G3_7873d085e7/MAPLEU_G3_7873d085e7.webp" alt="MAPLEU-G3.webp" width="1200" height="687"><figcaption>MapleStory Universe</figcaption></figure><p>MapleStory Universe builds on the legacy of MapleStory IP combining the charm of the legendary IP with advanced blockchain technology, promising a dynamic, secure, and enriched gaming experience for both veteran players and newcomers. This new venture marks a significant milestone in the evolution of online gaming, setting a new standard for player engagement and community building.</p><h2>MapleStory n</h2><p data-start="770" data-end="1374">MapleStory N is Nexon’s multiplayer online RPG built within the MapleStory Universe ecosystem. It keeps the familiar side-scrolling combat and character progression that long-time MapleStory players know, but it runs in a newer ecosystem where some earned in-game items can be turned into on-chain assets. The focus is still on leveling, farming spots, improving equipment, bossing, and slowly developing your character over time. Instead of changing how MapleStory plays, MapleStory N introduces a system where certain items you worked for can become tradeable beyond the game through blockchain layers.</p><figure class="image"><img src="https://assets.gam3s.gg/msn_g1_3339d78666.png" alt="msn g1.png" srcset="https://assets.gam3s.gg/xsmall_msn_g1_3339d78666.png 64w, https://assets.gam3s.gg/thumbnail_msn_g1_3339d78666.png 245w, https://assets.gam3s.gg/small_msn_g1_3339d78666.png 500w, https://assets.gam3s.gg/medium_msn_g1_3339d78666.png 1000w" sizes="100vw" width="1000"><figcaption>MapleStory Universe</figcaption></figure><p data-start="1999" data-end="2672">MapleStory N takes place across the familiar Maple World, where each region has its own history, characters, and ongoing conflicts. Players take the role of Explorers who travel between towns, fight monsters that threaten the balance of the world, and uncover storylines as they progress. The tone remains light and playful, with recognizable NPCs and locations. Rather than retelling or rewriting MapleStory history, MapleStory N focuses on letting players experience the Maple World through progression-based exploration and boss challenges. The lore acts mainly as a backdrop for the grind, character building, and adventures players create for themselves along the way.</p><figure class="image"><img src="https://assets.gam3s.gg/msn_g2_43b3bdd7f7.png" alt="msn g2.png" srcset="https://assets.gam3s.gg/xsmall_msn_g2_43b3bdd7f7.png 64w, https://assets.gam3s.gg/thumbnail_msn_g2_43b3bdd7f7.png 245w, https://assets.gam3s.gg/small_msn_g2_43b3bdd7f7.png 500w, https://assets.gam3s.gg/medium_msn_g2_43b3bdd7f7.png 1000w" sizes="100vw" width="1000"><figcaption>MapleStory Universe</figcaption></figure><p data-start="1376" data-end="1731">At a moment-to-moment level, it feels like classic MapleStory. Players pick a class, explore regions, grind monsters, enhance gear, and take on bosses as they get stronger. The game takes place in a timeline and content structure closer to older MapleStory before major modern systems were added, which gives progression a slower and more deliberate pace.MapleStory N is a part of MapleStory Universe, which includes additional apps and tools that support trading, exploration, and social activity. However, the core gameplay loop remains similar to what made MapleStory popular across the years.</p><figure class="image"><img src="https://assets.gam3s.gg/msn_g3_6962a7a543.png" alt="msn g3.png" srcset="https://assets.gam3s.gg/xsmall_msn_g3_6962a7a543.png 64w, https://assets.gam3s.gg/thumbnail_msn_g3_6962a7a543.png 245w, https://assets.gam3s.gg/small_msn_g3_6962a7a543.png 500w, https://assets.gam3s.gg/medium_msn_g3_6962a7a543.png 1000w" sizes="100vw" width="1000"><figcaption>MapleStory Universe</figcaption></figure><h2>NFTs and Blockchain</h2><p data-start="514" data-end="957">MapleStory N keeps almost all of its gameplay items off-chain. Players progress, enhance gear, farm resources, and boss just like in the classic MapleStory experience. The blockchain layer only appears <strong data-start="716" data-end="787">when a player chooses to convert certain items into on-chain assets</strong>. Items must meet specific enhancement or value conditions inside the game before they become eligible for conversion, so you cannot simply buy power or skip progression.</p><figure class="image"><img src="https://assets.gam3s.gg/image_d38fb8bdcf.png" alt="image.png" srcset="https://assets.gam3s.gg/xsmall_image_d38fb8bdcf.png 64w, https://assets.gam3s.gg/thumbnail_image_d38fb8bdcf.png 245w, https://assets.gam3s.gg/small_image_d38fb8bdcf.png 500w, https://assets.gam3s.gg/medium_image_d38fb8bdcf.png 1000w" sizes="100vw" width="1000"><figcaption>MapleStory Universe</figcaption></figure><p data-start="959" data-end="1339">The purpose of this <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://gam3s.gg/maplestory-universe/guides/maple-story-n-guide-how-to-play-and-earn/">conversion </a>is to give long-term items that were earned through regular gameplay the option to exist as tradeable assets in the wider MapleStory Universe ecosystem. The on-chain version of an item is functionally the same as the in-game version, but it gains portability and the ability to be listed on the ecosystem marketplace if the player wants to trade it. NESO is the primary resource earned through playing the game. Players can convert NESO to NXPC at a fixed rate of <strong data-start="1455" data-end="1480">100,000 NESO = 1 NXPC</strong>. NXPC is used across MapleStory Universe as the common on-chain currency.</p><h2 data-start="131" data-end="164">Latest Game Updates (2025)</h2><p data-start="166" data-end="576">Throughout 2025, MapleStory N focused on making overall progression feel smoother and more approachable. NESO gain rates, Alchemy returns, and several field leveling routes were adjusted so players have clearer paths from early to mid-game without relying on a few overcrowded meta maps. These changes helped daily play feel more consistent, especially for newer characters or returning players starting fresh.</p><p data-start="578" data-end="912">The on-chain conversion interface was also refined. Item enhancement milestones and conversion eligibility indicators are now easier to read, reducing confusion around when an item can be moved on-chain if players choose to do so. This kept the blockchain layer optional and supportive rather than something that dictates progression.</p><p data-start="914" data-end="1301">Seasonal events continued to run regularly through the year, offering time-limited cosmetics, materials, and bonuses tied to in-game activity. These events helped refresh the routine play loop and gave all players short-term goals to work toward. New Explorer classes were also introduced during this period, adding more variety in leveling styles and party compositions for boss fights.</p><h2>How to Get Started</h2><p>MapleStory N is fully live and you can play right away by creating an account, downloading the <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://msu.io/maplestoryn/main">client</a>, and choosing your class to begin leveling and gearing. If you later decide to trade converted items or move assets in and out of the MapleStory Universe marketplace, you can optionally complete identity verification (KYC) on the web portal to unlock higher transfer limits and full on-chain trading access.</p>
