Games and beer are two things I really like. And now these two things are combined in one.
And the fun part is that you can even earn a little bit money with it . You will not get rich very quickly, but hey, all other games only cost me time and yield nothing 馃槃
When I read about CryptoBrewmaster I was skeptical at first. How could a game of brewing beer be interesting. But my curiosity took over and I decided to give it a try.
My first impression
The game is browser based so you don't have to install anything else than a browser.
The graphics of the game are quite simple. The game has a cartoonish (is that a word?) style but I like that.
When I started clicking around I discovered that a lot of options were still locked.
This is common for many games, but I couldn't find how I could get them unlocked.
When searchin for information online I found out that the game was still in Alpha and these options weren't developed yet.
And that's what's made it interesting for me. Usually when I join a game other players are way ahead of me and have built empires and unlocked all the possible options. But not in this game. Just because these options aren't available yet 馃槅
Another think I really like about the game is the speed. Or better the lack of speed. Before you can brew your beer you first have to collect the ingredients. You can do this via Daily Quests on the Bulletin Board in the pub.
Before you can claim an ingredient you need to wait a certain amount of time. This way you don't have to play the game the whole time and just check in several time a day to claim your ingradients.
As I get addicted to games pretty quickly, this one doesn't consume a lot of my time.
How to play
As I mentioned before you first go to the pub and start collecting your ingredients.
Once you collected them all; Barley malt, brewing water, Aroma hops, Bittering hops and Yeast you can go to the brewery. You can always check your backpack to see which ingredients you have.
In the brewhouse you select a recipe. For now there's only European lager.
When you selected the recipy you can add the ingredients you've collected. As you can see the ingredient cards have different colours.
The higher level your cards are the more chance you have for a higher level beer. You can see the percentages in the screenshot below.
When you press start the brewing process starts. It takes a few hours again to collect your beer.
Once you've collected your fresly brewed beer you can go back to the pub to sell it.
You do this by clicking the cash register. When you do, you've earned yourself your first CBM. You can collect CBM to get higher on the leaderboard, but you can also convert it into Hive. The minimum amount is 1000 CBM.
My conclusion
I really like this game and I think it really has potention. Since it's browser based you can play it anywhere on any device. Because the gameplay is quite slow it doesn't consume a lot of your time. You just check in a few times a day.
What I also like about this game that it new. Most of the options are still not available, but they are really active in developing new functions. They just released the leaderboard and now working on the events which is planned to be active in a few days.
After that a market and a brewing supplies store are on the road map. I'll continue gathering CBM so I have something to spend when the functions are active.
I'm really curious how this game will develop, so I'll keep playing for a while find it out.
