Exploring the Game "Crypto Rumble": Core Gameplay Edition
Crypto Rumble
Crypto Rumble is a card RPG + match-3 Web3 game built on the Zypher Network game engine. Based on the Zypher game engine, all game logic is based on the server abstraction technology of the Zypher Network, completely constructed on-chain without relying on centralized servers. Game assets, processes, and results can be directly verified on the blockchain, ensuring transparency and integrity, providing players with a fair and just gaming experience and true asset ownership.
From the game's content perspective, Crypto Rumble describes a legendary chaotic world that values combat, where players need to strategize to become the wisest commander and leader in this chaotic world.
Basic Gameplay
Before each game round, players need to select three heroes from their hero pool as their team members, while also choosing different equipment from their inventory to provide certain attribute bonuses to the heroes. The ultimate goal of each game round is to defeat the BOSS with different attributes.
In the battle against the BOSS, a turn-based system will be adopted. During the player's turn, players need to move blocks to achieve match-3, and after successfully eliminating blocks, the three heroes will attack the BOSS, with the total attack points for each round being the sum of the attack points of the three heroes.
The effectiveness of the player's attack on the BOSS depends on the heroes' attributes, levels, and qualities, as well as the number of blocks eliminated in a single move (the more blocks eliminated, the higher the damage dealt to the BOSS). The game usually limits the number of moves players can make, and defeating the BOSS before running out of moves results in victory. If all heroes are defeated before running out of moves, or if the BOSS is not defeated after running out of moves, the game results in failure.
Heroes are the most critical element in the game. We need to strategize and select different heroes to form teams, as different hero classes have advantageous match-up characteristics, such as Samurai defeating Assassins, Mages defeating Samurai, and Assassins defeating Mages. When a hero's attributes counter the BOSS's attributes, an advantageous match-up is triggered, granting the hero a 50% damage bonus, thereby showcasing their natural advantages; conversely, damage is reduced by 50%. Therefore, we need to strategize troop deployment to achieve optimal results against different BOSSes.
At the same time, we also need to continuously upgrade heroes (the level range for each quality of hero is 1~100) and enhance their quality to improve our team's combat power, thereby gaining a better gaming experience and higher influence and rewards in game battles.
Currently, Crypto Rumble has set up three main game modes: PvE, World Boss mode, and PvP mode.
- PvE Mode
PvE mode is the classic level-clearing gameplay, where players consume 100 VIT Points to deploy up to 3 heroes for PvE battles. Successfully completing challenges rewards players with corresponding experience points and game item rewards. The PvE gameplay consists of 30 levels, with the difficulty increasing as players progress through the levels.
In the regular challenge mode, the game sets the BOSS type, BOSS health, move count, experience points, and $GOLD rewards for each level. Players can choose different hero lineups for targeted deployment (more information can be found in the game).
In addition to the challenge mode, the PvE gameplay also features a hero mode, which doubles the original PvE BOSS attributes. As the game difficulty rises, the rewards for defeating the BOSS will also increase accordingly.
- World Boss Mode
World Boss mode is a mining gameplay based on the PouW (Proof of Useful Work) consensus mechanism. In this mode, players must pay 1,000 $GOLD (platform token) to purchase a ticket and gain eligibility to challenge the world BOSS (90% of the $GOLD tokens paid by players enter the seasonal prize pool).
In the game, players can choose up to 3 heroes to fight against the world BOSS. Each battle lasts for 3 minutes, and at the end of the battle, players are ranked based on the damage they dealt to the world BOSS. Players will receive mining rewards based on their rankings.
World Boss mode operates on a seasonal cycle, with each season lasting 7 days (based on UTC-0 time). The reward pool is fully distributed each season and does not carry over to the next season. Players can freely join or exit the season. At the end of each season, players can claim ranking rewards from the prize pool based on their final rankings.
- PvP Mode
PvP mode is a multiplayer online competitive mode, where players can select 3 heroes to form a team and compete against each other in the PvP arena. Before the PvP game starts, players need to place a bet using $CR tokens, with betting amounts of 100 $CR, 500 $CR, or 1000 $CR, which will determine the amount of rewards players ultimately receive.
The PvP mode will use an automatic matching system to find opponents. Within a 3-minute limit, players compete based on the damage dealt to the BOSS, calculated in the same way as in PvE and World Boss modes, based on the number of blocks eliminated. At the end of the time, the player who dealt the most damage to the BOSS wins and receives 90% of the total bets from all players in the room, while the remaining 10% will be taken as platform fees. Additionally, the winner will receive extra $CR PK rewards.
The PvP mode will run on the z4 engine of the Zypher Network, ensuring real-time gameplay and experience for players during PvP games. This game mode will be launched soon.
Crypto Rumble is set to launch on the Zypher Layer3 chain Zytron Pioneer in November 2024, and will airdrop blind boxes and other game assets to active users on the Linea mainnet and ETH mainnet. Players can participate in the "Treasure Ark" event to earn blind box rewards by staking related assets (https://ark.zypher.network/). For every 0.5 ETH / 0.5 wstETH / 0.5 ezETH / 0.5 STONE / 0.5 weETH staked, players will receive a mysterious box containing a Crypto Rumble hero.
The Treasure Ark event will distribute a total of 10,000 Crypto Rumble hero mysterious boxes, each containing heroes that can enhance the player's team combat power! There is no limit to the number of boxes a single player can receive; players can continue to stake and collect until they are all distributed.
