Having Crypto Raiders as a partner is a great asset for Merit Circle. The team supporting Crypto Raiders is full of game designers who are passionate about the field. The members’ expertise covers various game genres, with some of the members being former grandmasters of TCGs.
Crypto Raiders is built on the Polygon Network, allowing it to take advantage of a lower fee. It includes two modes, PvE and PvP, with players free to choose their forms which can be human, elf, skeleton or cyborg.
It is a highly interactive NFT-based dungeon crawler that allows players to upgrade their characters and defeat the opponent.
Passive players can also get into the game by claiming ownership of mobs and earning a portion of the defeated raider’s tokens and gear. The game economy is based on two separate tokens – $RAIDER and $AURUM.
These tokens can be used in all activities ranging from making potions to recruiting raiders. They earn by selling materials and skins obtained during tournaments and dungeon hunting.
$RAIDER and $AURUM are available on the Polygon Network with a much lower transaction fee for players. Players are free to lock $RAIDER and use the token to vote on proposals that affect the future of the game.
Players can also stake the token to claim ownership over a portion of the economy. This additionally allows them to earn a fee from using the token in-game and on-chain.
Crypto Raiders works on a player centric approach by incorporating blockchain technology. The economy in the virtual space is very rich, with almost everything in the game representing an NFT owned by players, giving them full control over determining the future.
NFTs earned by players can be sold or traded on the marketplace. Merit Circle adding Crypto Raiders as a partner is expected to do wonders for the upcoming Web3 gaming ecosystem.
