## What Makes Rise of Defenders Unique?

The game’s unique plot takes place on a mythical continent called Enotias, where players build their bases, recruit troops, and create their kingdoms. On Enotias, several different races lived together peacefully before that peace was disrupted by Orcs trying to displace the King of Althia. Players battle to restore peace in three different gameplay modes.

In the **Campaign Mode,** players battle on various maps against different enemies to collect rewards from loot boxes. These rewards come in the game’s RDG token or equipment. Players can advance to new levels and territories and battle increasingly difficult enemies to receive better rewards.

In the **Tournament Mode**, players combat each other with their teams of heroes. Tournaments are organized in seasons, with each season being one week long. After a season is over, players receive their points and rewards and are promoted or relegated depending on their performance. Players can conquer a total of eight ranks with their respective prizes.

The final gameplay mode is the **Arena Mode**, which is scheduled to be released in summer 2022. Players will be able to field up to three heroes in the battle against other players in a turn-based, three-on-three player-versus-player mode. A player wins when the opponent’s heroes are destroyed, or the match timer runs out. In the latter case, the player with the highest percentage of remaining HP wins. Players will be ranked based on their performance in an ELO-based ranking system. 

Although Rise of Defenders is a tactics-heavy game, it is accessible even to inexperienced players because of the automated fighting mechanics. Players can easily assemble a basic team to start competing in campaigns and tournaments. 

Furthermore, players will earn RDG tokens by engaging in the various gameplay modes. They can spend these on premium equipment for their heroes (in the form of NFTs) or buy additional premium heroes to upgrade their chances of success in the game. Players can also sell their NFT assets on the game’s marketplace.

Splinterlands is a digital, collectible card game based on blockchain technology and inspired by games like Magic the Gathering and Hearthstone, where players build a collection of cards with different attributes and battle other players in skills-based matches. It is a game where players can buy, sell and trade their digital assets just as they would with physical trading cards games such as Magic the Gathering, Pokémon and Yu-Gi-Oh!

Splinterlands was created as players lost the ability to truly own their assets (or trading cards) once games went digital. With blockchain technology, it allows players to own and trade their digital assets freely once again. It also allows the game to have true scarcity and transparency, which means all cards on Splinterlands have a verifiable supply and historical record.

Players battle other players by choosing ranked or practice battles. With ranked battles, players can increase their rating. There is no downside to playing ranked battles as a beginner since players with a rating below 100 do not lose ranking points. Battles take place between players of similar strength. When matched up with an opponent, both players choose a set of six monster cards and one summoner card for the battle to destroy all their opponent’s monster cards and win the battle.

Although the game is free-to-play, players need to purchase the summoner’s spellbook for $10 if they want to unlock the game in full. With the summoner’s spellbook, players get access to their account keys and unlock the ability to earn Dark Energy Crystals, which can be redeemed for real currency.

Splinterlands started in May 2018 and launched Splintershards (SPS) – its governance token for the SPS decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) at the end of July 2021. It concluded a $3.6M private token sale for 6.6% of the SPS token supply. After reaching 100,000 players in its first three years, it added another 50,000 in just over a month from June 2021. Splinterland plans to build out its game in the latter half of 2021, with oracle integration planned for Q1 2022.

League of Kingdoms (LOKA) is a blockchain-based Massively Multiplayer Online (MMO) strategy game. As a play-to-earn ecosystem League of Kingdoms allows players to earn real income through in-game activity.
