In 2022, various types of game projects are constantly launched in the GameFi track, but there are relatively few games worth paying attention to. Some projects cannot attract players, and the daily activity is worrying; the development progress of some other so-called 3A RPG games is slow, and they have been unable to be officially launched. Some GameFi projects with low thresholds and rich gameplay have attracted the attention and participation of many players. Monsterra is a multi-chain game that ranks among the top on BNB, Avalanche and Terra, with Free to Earn and Play to Earn modes, which allows millions of users to enjoy the fun of the game and higher returns at the same time. The project team combines its rich experience in traditional games with the outstanding advantages of blockchain technology, and invests a lot of energy to build an innovative, well-structured and huge Monsterra NFT Game ecosystem.
Monsterra Core Gameplay
Monsterra is a P2E and F2P combined development game, which is similar to the farm game mode we are familiar with. It is inspired by Axie Infinity Pet World and some very popular traditional game modes such as Clash of Clans and Boom Beach. In Monsterra, there lives a magical creature called Mongen, who can improve his strength by expanding his territory, planting plants to get fruits, and hatching and breeding animals. He can also fight with other players or accept challenges from others.
Players can choose to play for free or purchase items in Monsterra's marketplace to increase their income according to their wishes. If they choose to play for free, players can still experience all the features of the game, but the income will be lower than that of players who purchase NFTs to play the game. Monsterra provides a very fair profit mechanism for each player, and the input and income are positively correlated.
Players who invest a portion of their funds to purchase NFTs will save a lot of time and energy, and easily build an empire with land, wealth, and Mongen pets in Monsterra. Players with more NFTs can shorten the time to build a defense system, and have more advantages in PVP and competitions and gain benefits faster.
No matter how much money you have, you can find a suitable way to play in Monsterra. In order to allow more players to find the fun of Web3 games, Monsterra has designed a large number of tasks in the game that free players and low-investment players can complete and get rewards.
Monsterra's inclusive product design allows millions of game enthusiasts to enjoy the fun of games without prior investment and earn passive income while playing games.
With its excellent product design, project concept and user experience, Monsterra's popularity on BNB Chain has reached the forefront of the same track and was rated as one of BNB Chain's star projects in September 2022.
Monsterra gameplay details
Monsterra currently supports web version and mobile terminal. The release of mobile terminal will provide players with a more convenient way to play games and make full use of fragmented time. Players can log in to the game by connecting to the MetaMask wallet. After the first login, the system will randomly give the player a MongenNFT, allowing players to play for free without spending money.
In the game, Mongen is the player's pet, with different attributes, which can be produced by hatching eggs. Eggs can be obtained through breeding, and eggs of different rarity have different market prices. Players can hatch eggs to obtain pet characters with corresponding probabilities and rarity, thus having relatively rare abilities.
There are 5 different Mongen races in the game, namely Beast, Tectos, Mystic, Celest and Chaos. Beast is good at defense, Tectos has strong combat ability, Mystic has the ability to perceive and control combat, Celest and Chaos also have special abilities in the game.
After entering the game, players will immediately receive 2 Soulcores (Mongens' eggs) and 7 plots of land. These are the most basic items for players in the game. Players can use these items to upgrade and cultivate the Mongen pets they receive, and can experience the game without any initial investment.
There are also daily tasks in the game, and players can get rewards by completing tasks. For example, daily login can get 500 fruits and 5 experience points.
Players can quickly improve the level of various parameters in the game by increasing experience points, so that they can speed up in daily tasks and battles, get more fun, more competition and more income.
After everything is ready, you can harvest the fruits first. The daily tasks will show the fruit picking tasks that players need to perform. Click on the purple plant, then select the corresponding Mongen, and then perform the Farm operation. Mongen can then perform the fruit picking operation.
Novice players can complete a picking task in about 3 minutes until the collection task is completed, and then they can get the corresponding rewards. If you feel that the waiting time is too long, you can also use the acceleration function and pay MAG to speed up. Generally, it is not recommended for novices to use acceleration directly. You can wait until you are at a higher level before using it, which is more cost-effective.
Players can upgrade Mongen by feeding it fruits, gaining higher attributes and abilities.
In addition, if the player has his own land inventory, he can also expand his territory or move his land for other purposes.
In-game props and other items can be converted into NFTs and sold in MarketPlace to achieve the goal of P2E play and earn money. For F2P players, they need to spend MSTR Tokens to convert free items into NFTs on the chain, which avoids the situation where a large number of players take advantage of the game.
Monsterra supports players to trade in-game items such as Mongen, eggs, and plants in the in-game market in exchange for MSTR Token or other cryptocurrencies such as USDT. The transaction fee for MSTR is as low as 4%, and the transaction fee for other types of tokens is only 4.85%.
Various competitions will be launched from time to time in the game, and players will receive corresponding rewards by participating in the competitions.
After the account reaches a certain level, the player can unlock the battle mode, and can also get corresponding rewards for winning the battle. The battle is divided into adventure, boss challenge, frontline challenge and arena mode. Players may receive challenges from other players, so they also need certain defensive measures.
That is to say, when players are not playing games, they may also encounter attacks from others. If they can build a strong defense system and passively resist the enemy's attack, they can also obtain combat benefits, which is also part of the player's passive income.
Monsterra's ecosystem consists of 8 components in a rich multiverse:
1. Play games
2. DAO governance and staking
3. NFT Market:
4. MonsEvent activity:
5. Mini Games: Coming Soon
6. The game will support multiple chains, and the cross-chain bridge will be launched soon
7. Guild Portal will be launched soon for guild activities
8. Coming soon: MonsTV
These 8 parts can help all players further gain benefits from Monsterra.
Of course, if players are not familiar with the English interface of the game, they can also use tools such as Youdao Dictionary to translate it to achieve smooth operation of the game. The official said that a multi-language version will be launched later to further expand the number of global players and enhance the gaming experience.
Economic system
For P2E games, the design of the economic system is a key factor in whether the game can run stably in the long term. Monsterra builds the in-game economic system through a dual-token model, with MSTR as a governance token with a limited supply of 100 million tokens, and MAG as an in-game reward token with no total limit. Monsterra uses a carefully designed token burning mechanism to maintain token supply and burn volume through the design of various token utilities and NFT application scenarios (for Mongens and lands). These designs are the core of the anti-inflation mechanism, ensuring the long-term sustainable growth of the in-game economic system. Monsterra's large and rich ecosystem will develop more gameplay and scenarios that can be used for discovery, consumption, and earning income.
Monsterra has designed a burning mechanism for MSTR. The total revenue of the game will be divided into three parts: development fund, DAO financial community shared income and burning. The official will carry out destruction on the 16th to 18th of each month to slow down the inflation rate, control the circulation and ensure the stability of the market value.
MAG is a secondary token used for all activities across the ecosystem. The maximum supply of MAG is uncapped, but a smart in-game burning mechanism regulates its supply. MAG can be earned (minted) by completing tasks, and can also be consumed (burned) through a variety of game activities.
Players can also stake MSTR Token and MAG to obtain higher APR returns.
Earning income by spending resources such as energy and food is what every non-gamer wants. Through many different channels, Monsterra has completely innovated and changed the way players make money. You can earn passive income through in-game activities (such as events) or from the value reward store of 8 elements in the Monsterra ecosystem, including NFT Market, DAO Treasury, Lifetime Referrals, etc.
Monsterra's Potential Analysis
Monsterra has a rich gameplay. According to the official plan, in addition to the anticipated guilds, arenas and other scenes, MonsTV will be added in the future. Players can earn coins by watching videos. This is a bold innovation compared to other blockchain games.
At the same time, Monsterra will also launch popular public chains such as Avalanche to achieve multi-chain deployment, which further demonstrates the team's technical strength and attracts more public chain ecosystem players to experience Monsterra games and realize the value discovery of games.
Of course, what attracts players' attention is the combination of Play to Earn and Free to Play, which reduces the difficulty for players to get started and attracts a large number of players. By forming differentiation, players tend to prefer the P2E model, thus realizing the transformation of the game from free to play to play to earn.
Although there is still room for exploration in the Free to Play model of blockchain games, Monsterra can retain a large number of players through free play and low investment models, while effectively preventing wool parties through mechanism design. Judging from the popularity of the game, Monsterra's exploration is effective. The Monsterra NFT game draws inspiration from two popular games, "Clash Of Clans" and "Boombeach of Supercell", and develops a unique game world that integrates blockchain technology, allowing players to experience entertainment and earning factors while playing. Monstera has a vibrant interface, eye-catching colors, and exciting sounds, which can easily impress players.
In addition to attracting players and staking users with easy and diverse gameplay, Monsterra has also attracted the attention of institutions. According to media information, the Monsterra team received a total of US$2 million in financing from Hashed, Shima Capital, Huobi Ventures, Icetea Labs, Salad Ventures and other institutions in mid-August.
In terms of security, Monsterra's code has been audited by Certik. The official is also adding other auditing agencies to conduct audits. At the same time, the team has also added a Bug Bounty program to provide generous rewards to white hat developers who find problems to further ensure the security of the code.
In addition to code security checks, the Monsterra team has also increased monitoring of abnormal token dynamics on the chain. If there is an abnormal fluctuation in a large amount of assets in the game, the team will get the news as soon as possible and take timely measures to prevent possible attacks.
Final Thoughts
Although there are many newly launched blockchain games this year, there are only a few that can really attract a large number of players. The key reason why Monsterra can attract so many players is that the game is very player-friendly in terms of both picture quality and difficulty of operation. At the same time, Monsterra has added many innovative gameplays, allowing players to earn money while playing games. Monsterra's design of the economic system also allows players to see the underlying logic of the game's long-term stable operation.
In addition to code audits, the team's bounty program and real-time on-chain monitoring also ensure the safe operation of the game to the greatest extent. The combination of multiple factors has established players' confidence and trust in Monsterra, making Monsterra a rare GameFi project that can be participated in for a long time in this bear market.
