In the realm of web3 gaming, the Play to Airdrop concept continues to gain traction, with Wild Forest emerging as the latest contender to embrace this trend.  Players have the opportunity to earn WF tokens (the in-game currency) simply by playing the game, owning Wild Forest NFTs, or participating in community activities.

Wild Forest's aim is to incentivize active player participation and foster a vibrant gaming ecosystem. In this article, we will cover everything you need to know about the latest Play to Airdrop trend and the unique features Wild Forest is using to reward committed players within their ecosystem. 

Web3 Mobile Gaming

To push the boundaries of web3 mobile gaming, Zillion Whales, the gaming studio known for the Mushroom Wars series, recently revealed exclusive details for their web3 RTS game. Wild Forest is the first real-time strategy (RTS) game on Sky Mavis' Ronin blockchain.

Following the recent launch of Sky Mavis' Mavis Store in January 2024, which saw popular titles like Axie Infinity Origins and Battle Bears Heroes joining the platform, Zillion Whales recently unveiled Wild Forest's exclusive NFT mint which successfully sold out on February 22nd.

Sky Mavis co-founder and CEO, Trung Nguyen, expressed confidence in Zillion Whales' choice, stating, "Wild Forest is a perfect fit for our strategy of delivering fast-paced mobile games through Ronin, as seen in their past success with Mushroom Wars, which garnered millions of downloads."

Play to Airdrop Meta

Play to Airdrop has become a buzzphrase in web3 gaming circles, following successful campaigns from titles like Heroes of Mavia and Apeiron. Now, Wild Forest is poised to join the fray, introducing its own version of the concept, promising rewards for players who immerse themselves in the game world.

Central to the Play to Airdrop model employed by Wild Forest is the establishment of an 'Honor Leaderboard', where players accumulate points (and tokens) through various activities such as advancing in the battle pass, owning Wild Forest NFTs, and community engagement.

To facilitate transparency and encourage participation, the Wild Forest team plans to put up a user interface soon so that players can track their progress in all of these areas. The Wild Forest token, WF, will be an on-chain token. Players use WF tokens to rank up cards, for premium in-game purchases, and for NFT sales.

Describing the gameplay mechanics, Wild Forest draws parallels to classic titles like Warcraft and Starcraft, albeit with unique twists. Players begin with a modest base, strategically expand their territory, harvest resources, amass troops, and orchestrate attacks on adversaries. Notably, the game introduces a deck-building aspect, wherein players assemble a roster of seven unit types before each match, adding layers of strategy and tactical depth to gameplay dynamics.

NFTs and Ronin Wallet

Wild Forest incorporates NFTs into its gameplay mechanics, allowing players to own and level up unit cards for enhanced performance. These NFTs are available through packs on the secondary market, albeit at a premium price point. Additionally, players can acquire Lord NFTs, a collection offering exclusive benefits such as early access to future releases and other exclusive ownership privileges.

Built on the Ronin network, Wild Forest necessitates the use of a Ronin-compatible wallet for seamless integration of NFTs and reward distribution. For those eager to delve deeper into the world of Wild Forest, comprehensive information is available on their website, also you can follow them on Twitter, and join their Discord.

With its innovative approach to web3 gaming and immersive gameplay experience, Wild Forest beckons players to embark on an adventure filled with strategy, competition, and community interaction.
