It seems that the auto-battler craze is here to stay.
In January 2019, a Chinese game studio called Drodo created a custom game mode called Dota Auto Chess for the much-hyped and well-known esports MOBA title Dota 2.
Everything else became history: The genre, called “auto battle chess”, has exploded and gained a life of its own as hordes of players wholeheartedly embraced the concept globally, spawning multiple titles with the same concept.
It's addictive: Who wouldn't want to conquer the world with automated characters and strategies that come to life in full 3D?
Well, it's now coming into the world of the blockchain in a resounding way.
Cyborg Legends is an auto-battler game that features eight races with differing appearances, abilities, and skillsets. Players get to choose between multiple P2E and PVP modes, which means that there's a lot of potential replayability!
What does Cyborg Legends promise to do?
Cyborg Legends promises to do be a P2E/NFT game that is accessible on any device, anywhere from the world at any time. They also promised players that they would only have to push the buttons when needed, which is a far cry from the endless grind of traditional MMORPG games.
What does Cyborg Legends have going for it thus far?
One salient point that any player could appreciate even though the game is not out yet is the fact that the NFTs are compatible with OpenSea, LootEX, and NFTrade. This means that even if the game never launches at all, players could still trade their cards as NFTs on the open market - and they have already fetched prices beyond their original mint rates at this point in time, as shown in the activity tab for the game on OpenSea.
As a result, the game is basically "rug pull-proof" due to the fact that its most basic product, the hero NFT, is already an asset that isn't controlled by the developers themselves.
Being a rug pull-proof game is a huge advantage, especially in an environment where much-hyped P2E gaming projects turn out to be outright scams.
Another salient point is the fact that the developers have always communicated their intentions on all their official channels in a timely and easily understandable manner. This is a key element for games in the P2E gaming space that is vital for creating a diverse, wide-reaching, and long-lasting community.
The final salient point is that the game's development still continues at a reasonable pace, which shows that the developers and their partners are committed to bringing a quality blockchain game to life.
What is the prognosis for Cyborg Legends?
Given that there are millions and millions of people out there who are fans of the said genre, Cyborg Legends is a promising title for the near future.
Here's to hoping that the development phase goes smoothly...and that the game's public build is shipped out soon!
