When it comes to gaming, certain genres are always in vogue.
Shooter RPGs. Survival games. Immersive action-adventure odysseys
focused on exploration and discovery. And, of course, battle-based
games that revolve around towering fighting machines known as
mecha. This isn’t a surprise, of course. Talking robotics with
cannons for arms have broad appeal, as evidenced by the success of
the Transformers franchise, a series that has generated $4.86
billion at the global box office. Making it the
13th-highest-grossing movie franchise of all time. But what happens
when mecha enters the metaverse? That’s a question a new
blockchain-based gaming project wants to answer. Mecha-verse
Massacre An adrenaline-pumping ARPG (Action Role-Playing Game) that
leverages digital currency and NFTs to furnish players with endless
earning opportunities, Mecha Morphing is set in a vast virtual
world that represents Earth circa 2107. The climate doomsayers have
been vindicated: the world is deluged by biblical floods, brutal
snowstorms and searing heat waves. In this unforgiving milieu, a
tyrant named Sarin has ascended to the throne. A sort of futuristic
Leopold, Sarin has amassed precious resources (metals, fossil fuel,
etc) for himself and his feudal lords while waging a cruel campaign
against the general populace. Just to underscore his villainy, ol’
Sarin has an army of mass-produced cyborgs to do his bidding too.
Luckily, a cast of cyberpunk rebels are fronting up to Sarin’s
despotic regime, sourcing and trading natural resources and the
mecha they create. Players in this nightmarish metaverse, then,
have a glimmer of hope: the more materials they can accrue, the
more skills, armour and weapons they can find, the stronger their
characters will become. Play-to-earn (P2E) opportunities abound,
with gamers able to earn financial rewards for their exploits under
Sarin’s callous dictatorship. Battles, of course, constitute a
major part of the game – and players improve their characters’
stamina with every victory over opposing mobs and cyborgs.
Skirmishes are AI-generated based on the combatants’ stats and
health (as verified by Chainlink), as well as the random attributes
of the environment in which the fighting takes place. Mecha
Morphing’s developers have also intuited that PvP (player vs
player) will be implemented in the future, whereupon gamers can
challenge other rebels to duels. In the initial roll-out though,
the main action will consist of PvE (player vs environment), arena
battles, bounty mode (complete tasks to earn prizes) and looting,
where characters launch raids on regions that contain valuable
resources. It’s also possible to “forge” weapons and armour by
assembling the necessary materials to produce a powerful weapon
that can then be wielded on the battleground. With virtually all
items tokenized as NFTs (including land), players are free to trade
them on the marketplace. Thus, a talented and enterprising player
could create a mini-economy based purely on upgrading characters,
winning battles, and selling coveted assets and mecha in the
marketplace for profit. If a player is lucky enough to acquire a
land NFT – and the terrain is rich in resources – the token-holder
might alternatively elect to trade materials while retaining the
land itself as a long-term investment. You see, land NFT
token-holders get to collect the resources the land produces
regularly. That said, the terrain can lose value if plunderers
successfully loot its valuable materials – which can, in turn, be
used to forge better weapons. Mecha Market Projects like Mecha
Morphing seek to combine appealing graphics and engaging gameplay
with the profit-generating potential of DeFi protocols –
principally trading, in this case. Thus, away from the
scorched-earth landscape and skyscraper-tall cyborgs, an internal
market facilitates purchases using the in-game currency, $MMC. With
$MMC, players can purchase gacha boxes, mystery chests that hold
materials, tokens, mighty mecha, and potions. As mentioned, they
can also score valuable materials from other players. Another nifty
element of the game is its achievement system, which tracks how
much the player has earned during his lifetime and how many levels
they have reached. When a certain threshold is crossed, the player
is rewarded with a status that confers bragging rights and unlocks
improved earning calculations. Mecha Morphing is set to launch its
testnet on December 27, with an IDO and mainnet launch expected in
Q1 of 2022. Having received investment from a slew of high-profile
blockchain VCs (Rarestone Capital, Innovion and Shima Capital to
name a few), the ARPG is looking like a strong bet to become a
major player in the fast-growing mecha-verse ecosystem.
