Pikaster is the first Polygon chain-based GameFi card game produced by Metaland. The highly scalable and interoperable game incorporates many aspects of the crypto economy including DeFi, NFT, gaming, Metaverse, DAO/Social, etc. Pikaster creatively creates several innovative gameplays, such as world trees and boss challenges, in addition to the traditional PVE (Player versus Environment) missions and PVP (Player versus Player) battles, thus providing NFTs with more application scenarios, enriching the channels of production and consumption of game chips and improving game play. There will also be seasonal tournaments for those who already have some experience with huge bonuses.
With PK battle mode, players can buy their own NFT (Piaksters) to participate in battles and complete tasks to earn rewards with various Tokens. The game has developed a trading market, a rental market and a blind auction market in the game system. Players can decide to conduct free trades, idle rent or auction depending on their needs and economic level to maximize their NFT acquisition. Players in the Metaland community have governance and voting rights for the development of the platform if they hold the platform tokens and can share the community dividends.
Pikaster gameplay
Pikaster is a card-based NFT battle strategy game. The game is committed to fairness in competition: players are required to use their tactics and strategies to engage in battles, paying attention to the functionality of the different cards and the attributes of the NFTs. The game is very simple as it is a pet card game. Players can obtain random pet cards by purchasing their own NFTs (Pikasters) in the trading market.
The cards have six attributes, namely grass type, poisonous insect type, water, electricity, fire and fighting. Players can predict the combat performance of cards just by looking at the constraint relationship between different attributes. By evolving and crafting the cards, players can obtain upgraded pet card characters and then use appropriate card battle strategies or flexible pledge systems for multi-token benefits. Digital assets can be sold on the trading platform to convert into real income once it is up and running.
Fundamentals
Pikaster is a turn-based strategy card game where players use NFTs to engage in battles.
- Classes: Grass, Bug, Water, Lightning, Fire, Fighting
- Constraints between Attributes: Attributes exhibit constraining relationships: grass restrains water, water restrains fire, fire restrains grass, grass and insects restrains water and lightning, water and lightning restrains combat and fire, combat and fire restrains grass and insects.
- Evolution: Evolved NFTs have powerful and balanced attributes, so they will perform better in fights. Players can obtain an evolved Pikaster by fusing NFTs or through breeding with a relatively low probability (naturally evolved).
game mechanics
- 1. A player chooses from 3 to 5 Pikasters to enter a battle: 3 Pikasters will start the lineup. When one of them is defeated, backup Pikasters will enter the battle accordingly.
- 2. At the start of each turn, each player will initially receive 6 random skill cards and 3 Energy. Once both players are ready by clicking the “Battle” button, the match will start immediately.
- 3. The first use of the skill card will consume 2 Energy, then Energy will increase from 1 to 2 each turn.
battle modes
PvP Battles: our online PvP matchmaking system allows players to match. If you defeat your opponent, you will be rewarded with game chips and the corresponding PvP points. As per the PvP leaderboard, the top 500 players of each season will receive MLS rewards.
PvE adventures: Players indulge in an adventure experience and will be rewarded with game tokens if they win the battle.
World Trees: World Trees are updated to provide blessings to NFTs, where NFTs can be selected to update their specific attributes. By upgrading the World Trees, points will accumulate on the leaderboard and generating weekly and seasonal rewards.
Guilds: Players are free to join a guild and fight in groups on the guild’s territory. Nice rewards will be distributed after victories in guild wars.
Climate conditions: Different weather conditions can enhance or constrain different attributes. For example, under the scorching sun; all fire-related skill effects will receive a boost. However, when the scorching sun is combined with a rainy day, it will result in a foggy climate that further strengthens insects and certain attributes of the water.
NFTs in the game Pikaster
Features
What is Pikaster?
Pikaster is a digital NFT that can fight and reproduce in the Pikaster world. The following introduction will guide you to choose your perfect Pikaster.
Body and body parts
A Pikaster consists of a body and four body parts (head, wings, weapon, and tail). The body provides the basic attributes and each body part provides a corresponding skill. In the early stages of the game, a number of mystical body parts (with KuCoin tags) were auctioned off. These mystical body parts are relatively stronger in nature.
Lessons
There are six classes: grass, insect, water, lightning, fire and fighting.
Restriction mechanism between classes:
- The grass restricts the water
- Water restrains fire
- Fire constrains the grass
- Grass and insects restrict water and lightning
- Water and lightning restrict combat and fire
- Combat and fire restrain grass and insects
Team
There are five battle positions where two of the Pikasters are substitutes. Players are flexible in adjusting their positions as well as in the formation order. For example, you can put two Pikasters with high HP in the front row to take the damage, or you can put a Pikaster on the field early and another Pikaster as a substitute to ensure there is always a Pikaster to protect the back row.
What makes the Pikaster project different?
First, it is more convenient and simple to use. Pikaster has created its own in-game wallet where players can simply top up and withdraw tokens. In addition, player assets are significantly safer.
Second, the investment criterion has been reduced. Pikaster NFT pricing is relatively more reasonable in light of our research into per capita consumption levels in many countries around the world, especially in areas where Game-Fi is more popular. The person in charge will pass a variety of operational methods to suppress the disorderly rise of NFT prices as a whole to ensure that the investment value does not become an obstacle to the entry of new users.
Third, a more sustainable economic model. There is a three-token model to build a healthier token production and consumption model, ensuring long-term benefits for participants and a shorter payback period.
Tokens in Pikaster
Three types of tokens will be issued:
- MLS: MetaLand Shares, the governance token at Metaland.
- SRBP: Super Rare Ball Shares, the rare game token on Pikaster.
- RBP: Rare Ball Shares, the regular game token on Pikaster.
With the 3-token model, Pikaster seeks to slow down the inflation problem that commonly plagues Game-fi projects. Adoption of dual-play tokens will allow the team to superiorly manage in-game inflation: in case an in-game token shows an inflationary trend, higher consumption and conversion can be adjusted with the second in-game token.
SRBP and BP released in the game are the foundation of Pikaster’s economy. The release rules for SRBP and RBPs are designed to achieve economic sustainability. Pre-built SRBP and RBP are distributed almost entirely to players in the game. The team will only receive benefits from MLS token ownership. Pikaster’s NFT assets are primarily generated through crafting, which requires a certain amount of MLS, SRBS, and RBS as materials.
MLS Token
MLS is the governance token in the Metaland universe and will apply to all future games developed. The MLS offering is limited, with a total of 200.000.000 issued. MLS reflects the core value of your community. MLS holders will have community governance rights and will enjoy value-added benefits from future Metaland developments.
SRBP / RBP Tokens
A total of 1.000.000.000 SRBP and 10.000.000.000 RBP are produced. RBP is the basic game token, which players will earn in their daily play. The amount of RBP that can be earned by players varies depending on the player’s NFT holdings.
SRBP is the scarce token in the game and players will earn them in advanced gameplay. Its production will be very limited. Players must participate deeply in advanced gameplay to win them over. Game NFTs must be generated through crafting, and the crafting process will consume a certain amount of RBP and SRBP. These consumed tokens will be recycled to Game Vault as reserves for future releases.
Bottom Line
Picaster is a community-oriented metaverse created by Metaland with the aim of creating diverse scenarios such as various gaming, social, entertainment, sports and more to allow players to participate and manage the ecology together and earn great financial rewards through of new experiences. Metaland’s vision is to build a metaverse, where its community is based on DAO.
Through the MLS governance token, players will be able to participate in the metaverse, playing a variety of games, whether card-based, casual or competitive. Players will be able to interact through a suite of social networking tools, built both in-game and externally, connecting with friends and future friends. Not to mention the possibility for $MLS holders to buy online and offline, as well as participating in the movement to win in the near future.
