Review Gods Unchained ($GODS) – New Generation of Blockchain Gaming

Gods Unchained Marketplace allows users to buy and sell digital collectibles and trading cards, and compete with other players on the network. It is a turn-based game where players can use their Gods to eliminate opponents. Gods Unchained is one of the most prominent crypto-infused games to date, delivering an online collectible card game experience in which you verifiably own the cards, which are tokenized digital assets on the Ethereum blockchain. That means that you can buy and sell the cards, which range in rarity and value just like physical card games.

What is Gods Unchained?

‍Gods Unchained is one of the gaming industry’s new forays into blockchain and cryptocurrency. It is a free-to-play online trading card game that is similar to Magic: The Gathering Arena. The Gods Unchained video game describes itself as the trading card game that “pays to play.” It is shaking up the normal model of gaming commerce where players purchase the game along with in-game items that they will never be able to sell back. 

Gods Unchained is a very interesting game. For starters, it’s fairly similar to Hearthstone regarding game design and gameplay, meaning that it appeals to those passionate about online collectible card video games. On the other hand, thanks to its marketplace and ingenious card system, it also appeals to users who want to have fun while still being able to make some money while doing so.

The game offers clean, well-detailed graphics, as well as great sound effects to go with them. You will be able to figure out how to play within minutes thanks to a YouTube tutorial. Then, you will be free to start developing winning strategies on your journey to win all the prize money you can.

Outstanding Features

Gods Unchained is an intricate blockchain-powered strategy game. Its level of sophistication is unprecedented in the cryptocurrency space.

It relies on Ethereum and smart contracts, with both ERC20 and ERC721 tokens playing a pivotal role. Here is what Gods Unchained is all about:

  • Build your mystical creature army with cards that you buy or draw
  • Make your leader stronger with artifacts
  • Draw special cards that are unlocked at random
  • Find an opponent and fight strategically, keeping your mana in mind as well as the strength of each card you deploy
  • Each turn you get one more mana point until you reach five, at which point it will take you more turns to get a single mana point
  • Beat all your opponents and advance within the tournament on your way to a prize pool that is expected to reach the $1.6 million USD mark

RoadMap

Gods Unchained is a hugely popular game with a following since 2018. It is redefining the industry with a new play-to-earn model, giving gamers the chance to earn money in a virtual economy. Games like League of Legends or World of Warcraft attract millions of players and command huge sums of money. Gods Unchained aims to change the status quo and ensure the play-to-earn model is viable in the long run. If giant gaming studios like Riot and Blizzard begin to implement in-game cryptocurrencies, this could further launch crypto and blockchain as a whole into mainstream adoption. Gods Unchained will release the GODS token soon and it will be interesting to see how crypto and NFT marketplaces could work in future games. The game will be on many players’ radars, thanks to increasing popularity and heavily-watched tournaments.

Backers

Team

Gods Unchained was founded by brothers James and Robbie Ferguson. After getting involved with Ethereum in 2015, the brothers went on to build the world’s first multiplayer blockchain-based game, the first blockchain trading card game and the first ZK Rollup for NFTs on Ethereum – Immutable X. Immutable X powers the Gods Unchained game, and has investors like Galaxy Digital and Coinbase. The development team building the game consists of former employees of Riot Games and Google.

James previously led a software development team at a billion-dollar eCommerce company. He holds a Bachelor of Laws and a Bachelor of Commerce (Finance) from the University of Sydney. Through the online MIT curriculum, he taught himself coding and moved to Silicon Valley in 2014. Together with his brother Robbie, they have previously built multiple businesses, including an eCommerce platform that utilized machine learning, and a cryptocurrency arbitrage trading and lending fund.

Robbie previously built an automated capital gains tax platform at KPMG which was licensed to Australia’s largest cryptocurrency exchange. He became obsessed with Ethereum in 2015 and dropped out of a Computer Science/Law degree at the University of Sydney to found Immutable X. He was awarded the Thiel Fellowship in 2020.

Conclusion

Gods Unchained may not be the most original digital strategy card game out there, but the addition of crypto-economics adds a potentially compelling twist to what is already a really engaging and solidly polished free-to-play experience. In time, there are things that can be improved and the tutorial process to help newcomers understand the full extent of that experience, without having to read external FAQs and blog posts.

Additionally, high Ethereum gas fees have the potential to bounce players off of the game right at the moment when they’re willing to invest real money and become more engaged, but luckily that is an issue that Immutable has acknowledged and is working to address. Even so, the core game is already strong in its current state, and there’s a lot of potential for Immutable to further develop Gods Unchained into a major player in the digital card game space.

Gods Unchained will release the GODS token soon and it will be interesting to see how crypto and NFT marketplaces could work in future games. The game will be on many players’ radars, thanks to increasing popularity and heavily-watched tournaments.
