<p>The game, now available for download on mobile platforms, aims to offer a simple yet interactive experience targeted at casual fans. According to Mythical Games CEO John Linden, the company is focusing on mainstream appeal and not advertising the use of NFTs or blockchain technology. Instead, they are prioritizing the provision of great functionality to users.</p>



<p>Linden explained that by leveraging blockchain, the game can potentially achieve capabilities that would otherwise be unattainable with conventional game technology.</p>
