I've recently started playing Knightlands - new browser based play2earn game (currently in beta).
At the core KL is just a clicker but with surprisingly many options, tasks, missions, screens and sub screens - so there is always something to do and to click at.
The game claims there is over 500+ items to gather and craft in 10 different ways and over 300 soldiers that can join your army (yes, there are armies and generals too!)
Free and normal accounts
You can have two versions of your account:
- free, where all the accounts compete for share of daily reward of 35 FLESH and the raids are free
- normal, where the shared prize is much higher (1000 FLESH) but raids require tickets
The type of your account can be changed as you please (both ways). Tickets can be either bought for money at ~$0.50 per ticket or found in the dungeon (including free version). Free account gives you some FLESH but it clearly pays better when you are doing premium raids.
The core gameplay
You are mighty adventurer and you are doing missions and raids (solo or with public group). By doing I mean starting an event, clicking Attack or Auto button and looking at the outcome. Raid participation gives you a share in a daily drop of FLESH.
Pretty straightforward but enjoyable - enemies are dropping some loot in the process, bosses are fighting back. You are spending energy/stamina while gaining gold and experience in return.
You need to keep an eye on four main bars:
- health: if it goes to zero, you die but it really doesn't matter as there is no penalty for dying and you can jump back into action in no time
- energy: used in missions to attack poor monsters which mostly don't even fight back
- stamina: used in raids to attack the big guys who can take you down rather easily
- xp: it just indicates where are you on your road to next level
Bars can be replenished by using items or currency - either regular gold (health) or shinies (better gold used for energy and stamina).
There is also dungeon exploration, which feels like completely different game (in a good sense). It has two versions:
- premium ($20 Halloween event: Halls of the dead) where you can participate in $6000 competition, finding crazy stuff in the dungeon
- free without access to the competition and with less rewards
In the dungeon you have to kill all the enemies in the level to progress. You can encounter traps, stamina and health pickups, FLESH and some useful items. You can also level up your character.
Other game mechanics
There are tons of things to do there, here is a list with short description:
- daily tasks: get rewarded for doing simple tasks
- gold mines: buy and upgrade gold mines to get some extra gold
- daily reward: visit game every single day to get good stuff
- champions tourney: compete with other players in crafting, raiding and collecting
- onyx tower: climb the tower and fight against stronger and stronger enemies
- royal sprints: crafting sprints
- trials: get extra resources by climbing trials monster ladder
- adventures: get some more stuff
- update your character and his gear
- summon, train and equip your armies and general to use them on your raids
- create, enchant and upgrade your weapons and accessories
Let's be honest - most of these activities are super simple click and forget actions but they still give you something to do in the game😉
Play2earn
Right now it is not real P2E game because you cannot do much with your FLESH. But soon it should be tradeable on a DEX - after IDO (Initial DEX Offering) at the end of the month.
There are NFTs planned in Q1 2022 too. The roadmap is quite detailed and I believe the team can do it, judging by what they achieved already. The game is currently in Beta so there are bugs, but nothing drastic IMHO.
Right now there is a competition going on with the total prizes of 30 000 USDC for top 100 players.
It may be a good moment to level up you character and get yourself familiar with how Knightlands does work - you will have some edge over other players as the game requires grind to level up. I am gonna keep playing it, not even for the tokens but for pleasure of interacting with it - and it tells something 😎
If you would like to try it, you can play it HERE.
It doesn't require a wallet right now.
Have a good day!❤️❤️❤️
