Bloxsmith launches mobile strategy game Raiders Rumble on Flow Blockchain
Bloxsmith, a player-first Web3 game studio, has launched the mobile version of its 1v1 squad battler game Raiders Rumble.
As Invezz recently highlighted, the GameFi space is expected to see further growth in 2023 and beyond. A large part of this forecast is down to the expected mainstream adoption of blockchain games, one reason why game studios are focused on bridging the gap between Web2 and Web3 games.
Providing an onboarding experience that makes it easy for non-crypto-savvy players is a key step, according to the team behind Raiders Rumble. As such, the game is not only powered by the Flow Blockchain (FLOW/USD), but is now also on Google Play and the Apple App Store.
A fast-paced strategy game on Flow Blockchain
The Bloxsmith team consists of gaming veterans from industry giants such as Riot Games, Blizzard Entertainment, Facebook Gaming and Pumpkin VR, and is also backed by top industry investors including Infinity Ventures Crypto, Dapper Labs, SEA Pixel, Vayala and Bitoro.
To aid in mass adoption, Bloxsmith built the game on the Flow Blockchain, a decentralized layer one blockchain network designed to solve scalability issues of first-generation blockchains – both for digital collectibles and gamers.
According to Bloxsmith co-founder and CEO Wayne Lee, Raiders Rumble is a “competitive mobile strategy game” designed to bring more people from Web2 into Web3 gaming. Powering the eSports-like strategy game with the Flow technology can help bridge this gap. Lee added:
“With frictionless onboarding, social logins and familiar payment methods, Flow is built from the ground up to make it easier for ordinary users and brands to transition from Web2 to Web3.”
Win prizes from a $120,000 FLOW token pool
To encourage participation, Bloxsmith and Flow have teamed up to offer bonus tournaments that can see players win great prizes. The tournaments will run from 23 to 31 March 2023.
According to details shared with Invezz, the three Flow-sponsored tournaments have a combined prize pool of $120,000 – paid out in FLOW tokens. Aside from the tournaments, strategy players can also win RUMB tokens (the original Raiders Rumble token) or other in-game items when they place in the top 50% in daily tournaments.
A player does not need a crypto wallet or non-fungible tokens (NFT) to play Raiders Rumble. Players can find more details on the Raiders Rumble website.
