Gameplay:
The current pre-alpha stage of Champions Ascension focuses largely on a PvP arena battler. And the less crypto savvy players out there will be happy to know that no wallet is necessary to play the game, as the team wanted to open it's doors to the masses.
Right now, the four main criteria that affect your success in PvP are your attacks, family, essence, and parts. The objective is straight forward — two players enter the arena, but only one can exit. To earn rewards and move up the game's competitive ladder, all you have to do is demonstrate that you are the superior player by prevailing over your opposition. But if you prefer, you can also just hang out with your pals and play a slew of mini games that are available in the town centre.
Champions Ascension will feature multiple game modes. Some will be AI-controlled auto-battlers, whilst others will require players to command their own Champions on the battlefield by moving, attacking, and using their abilities. It's worth mentioning that the game is planned to be cross platform in the future including mobile, as said by the team.
In the future players will be able to interact and explore their surroundings by going on missions, engaging in combat, and taking on monsters and bosses. You'll also be able to gather materials through finalizing quests which can be used to craft higher-level items, increase the rarity of gears, or ascend your champion into higher tiers for access to more features and even greater power.
3v3 PvP was perhaps the most highly anticipated addition to the game recently which luck would have it was released today so I was able to check that out, and in this mode you'll be able to team up with your buddies, strategize over voice comm, and storm the Colosseum to earn rewards together. I'm a sucker for anything team orientated, where you can enjoy the spoils of war as a group - so this gets a big green tick from me.
Massina:
Although PvP combat is the game's main focus, Champions Ascension will also include a constantly growing open environment similar to those seen in games such as World of Warcraft, complete with town construction and social aspects. In the future you'll step in to the games realm Massina and experience an immersive world filled with adventure.
Economy / Play 2 Earn:
The game is based on the Ethereum Blockchain and centered around Champion NFT's. To purchase, trade, and transact in the games promised economy, users will require an Ethereum compatible wallet such as Metamask.
It's Free 2 Play and you won't actually require the use of NFT's, but you will however want them if you plan on compounding your earnings. There will be a number of ways to earn rewards including battling, staking, land ownership, breeding, crafting and more. There are even plans for asset holders to help build operational content within the game, to create their own path of earnings. One of the key ways to earn though will be by selling goods in the in-game marketplace to generate that value and profit.
Version 2 of the Whitepaper is said to hit within the next month or two, so I will update you on that once it arrives, but in V1 of the whitepaper there were poised to be 3 tokens that encompass the economy, it's staking, and earning capabilities. I won't go in to detail of those tokens, as their use cases are subject to change in V2 of the whitepaper when it drops.
