Guild of Guardians, a mobile RPG game with a Play-to-Earn mechanism

In a previous article, Gamefinity introduced Guild of Guardians as one of the promising Crypto Gaming Play-to-Earn projects. However, the details were briefly touched upon. Let's delve deeper into what Guild of Guardians has to offer in terms of its earning mechanisms.

What is Guild of Guardians?
Guild of Guardians is a mobile role-playing game that allows players to turn their gaming passion into assets. The game features a Play-to-Earn mechanism and is built on Immutable X, a second-layer Ethereum blockchain solution that enables fee-free NFT transactions.

The full release of the game is expected in Q2 2023, with the initial version slated for Q2 2022.

Players will venture through dungeons, facing various challenges to collect resources. These resources are used to craft valuable items and heroes that can be traded for real money. Players collaborate to form the best "Guardian" team, contribute to their Guild, and strategize to complete the game's most challenging content.

Set in a familiar fantasy RPG world, players can embody roles like mages, warriors, elves, orcs, and more. The game's artistic style features aesthetic low-poly designs, with all characters and battles presented in 3D.

Each hero also possesses two abilities: Active and Passive.

Guilds

Guild of Guardians is a multiplayer game where players can form guilds to earn more, collect items, and progress in the game.

Guilds are divided into four tiers:

Adventurers Guild

• 20 guild members
• Guild leader guaranteed first cut of 1% of any sales

Warriors Guild

• 30 guild members
• Guild leader guaranteed first cut of 2.5% of any sales

Legends Guild

• 40 guild members
• Guild leader guaranteed first cut of 5% of any sales

Mythic Guild

• Guild leader guaranteed first cut of 10% of any sales

Guilds grant members access to gameplay modes exclusive to guild members. These modes provide avenues for players to showcase their best heroes, combat the game's toughest foes, and earn unique and rare rewards.

Pets

Initially available only through limited sales, pets can be collected and subsequently traded once the game launches.

Equipment

Guild of Guardians does not conduct equipment sales, ensuring that in-game equipment is entirely player-controlled. Players can hunt, craft, and trade hundreds of weapons, armor pieces, and accessories, categorized by rarity (Common, Rare, Epic, Legendary).

Gems
Gems are used for:

Player rewards: Gems serve as a tradable in-game currency, awarded as game rewards to enhance player retention rates.
Community incentives: Gems can be distributed to the community (developers, content creators, etc.) as motivation for game and community development, ultimately enhancing the Guild of Guardians experience for all players.
Economic balance in the game: Gems play a crucial role in building a sustainable Play-to-Earn economy and safeguarding against bots.

Earning Methods in the Game

There are various ways for players to earn while playing Guild of Guardians, including:

Hero Summoning: Each hero is an NFT owned by the player. Players can summon common NFT heroes for free and then merge them to create higher-rarity heroes (tradeable), allowing players to play for free to own legendary heroes and profit from selling them.
Upgrading: Level up to unlock higher-level powers for heroes.
Crafting: Players can contribute crafting materials to their guilds to craft blockchain items. These items can be sold on the marketplace, with profits shared based on each player's contribution.
