Blockade Games has outlined the concept behind its upcoming idle team-based MMO called Codename: Metaboss. In a series of tweets the development team explained how the weekly story of this blockchain game will unfold through player choices. In addition players will earn rewards.
Codename: Metaboss is playable in a browser. In order to start playing, gamers need to have Metamask or Portis installed, because that's how the user's Ethereum wallet will connect to the game. In addition players will need to have their non-fungible tokens stored in the same wallet as the one that's linked to their wallet extension.
The week will start with a recruitment phase, during which players are allowed to choose and switch between factions. In Codename: Metaboss the game will check for non-fungible tokens (NFTs) in the crypto wallet. Each NFT affects a faction differently, and the number of rewards are calculated based on the amount of people that join a faction. So, no worries.
After the recruitment phase, the second half of the week starts. This is known as The Showdown. During this phase players have access to infiltration, analysis and assault. Through voting they can choose their faction's strategy. Even when it's not your faction's turn, you can play defensive options. Players get to pick actions every hour.
Every Sunday a new chapter will start and rewards will be distributed. The story unfolds based on player choices. Then, on Monday, the recruitment phase will start again. This whole process will last two weeks, after which Codename: Metaboss will probably be beaten.
When Codename: Metaboss was announced in early March, the blockchain game was touted to be the biggest boss fight in gaming history. It unites creatures and characters from different gaming universes in one gigantic battle. Players will use all non-fungible tokens in their wallets. This includes items from games like for example Axie Infinity, Cryptokitties, Gods Unchained, The Sandbox and Decentraland. Each NFT represents a certain amount of power.
In 2019 there have been 436 thousand gamers playing blockchain-powered games. More than half of them played games on the Ethereum blockchain. In the first two months of this year there’s been an increase in players thanks to new games like Axie Infinity, Brave Frontier Heroes and the launch of Decentraland. As a result this could mean that approximately 250 thousand gamers will join in the battle for Codename Metaboss.
Obviously this game won’t be as visual as many other games, but it does highlight the true potential of interoperability. It allows one game to use tokens from over one hundred other games!
