Non-Fungible Token (NFT) based play-to-earn games are continuously having an increased effect on the Crypto space as more and more projects continue to release these models of games into the industry. Crypto enthusiasts are no stranger to this technology as NFT-based gaming was introduced to the world in 2017 with the advent of the first video game powered by the blockchain. Since then, NFT-based games have been more than just some news in the space. They are having a huge impact right now and this is thanks to blockchain technology where players can easily claim ownership of in-game assets. These in-game assets once claimed become the exclusive "property" of the gamer and they can resell them on secondary markets, loan them out or take them off the platform.
One NFT game that is shaking things up in the blockchain gaming space is the Hero Arena game.
Hero Arena is a popular multiplayer RPG NFT-based game that is backed by blockchain technology. The game has a Dota2-theme and it is built on the Binance Smart Chain (BSC) and Polygon platforms. Hero Arena is a futuristic world with 5 different Factions (the Warlords, Orcs, Elves, Undeads, Beasts). Each faction has its strengths and weaknesses that are unique to them. Players can buy heroes that they can use to fight against enemies in the game and progress through the campaign mode. Players can also earn profit from defeated enemies in the combat arena. These profits can be used to purchase in-game accessories like armours and weapons for Heroes and they become stronger as a result.
Hero Arena Game Mechanics
The Hero Arena game allows its players to earn profit while having fun and getting entertainment at the same time. Aside from the fun and earning potentials, the platform is also designed in a way where players can enjoy social interactions and networking experiences with other members of the community.
How users earn money from Hero Arena
There are various means by which users can earn income for themselves on the Hero Arena platform. They are:
Dungeon — Players have to beat different bosses in the Dungeon three times a day. This task will present different levels of difficulty depending on the character level. Players will receive tokens and in-game assets as rewards after defeating the bosses.
Quest — Here, users are required to perform daily tasks to earn tokens. These daily tasks include missions like training Heroes, fighting monsters and general fighting. On completion of this task, the player will receive a reward in the form of a token.
AFK — This feature offers players the opportunity to earn money without having to log in to the game. This will help players not spend too much time on the platform but they can still experience the game.
PVE and PvP real-time gaming — Players can form teams and two teams consisting of three heroes each and they can play against each other. To be able to play the PvP mode, each team has to spend a fee to challenge and the winning team will earn the losing team’s money.
Staking — After purchasing NFT Heroes, users can lock those NFTs in a staking pool. Speakers will receive Top tokens and the length of staking is proportional to the experience, stats, and value increase of the Hero.
Rent to play & Free to play — Some rare Heroes are high-priced and not so affordable for the user. So instead of having to spend a lot of money to buy these Heroes, a user can rent them on the marketplace for a cheaper price over a certain period. The owners of the rented Heroes will earn profits from renting their heroes. The game also has a free-to-play feature where players can play the game for free and get rewarded without needing to purchase a Hero. HERA Token ($HERA) is the main in-game currency of the Hero Token. This is the currency that will be used to carry out in-game transactions like buying items, trading, exchanging, and staking to improve the skill of Heroes.
