Welcome to the World of Guild of Guardians
From October 9 to 20, mobile gaming enthusiasts were invited to experience the early demo of Guild of Guardians, a highly anticipated game developed by Mineloader, the folks behind the Final Fantasy remakes. The game was originally announced in 2021 and raised a whopping $5.3 million in a token sale, with an oversubscription that could fill a stadium – 82 times more demand than expected! It seems players are hungry for this fantasy-based escapade.
The Gameplay Experience
Imagine diving into a dungeon at sunrise, or perhaps moonlight, after skipping your morning coffee because you plunged straight into the action. (Reminder: Don’t forget to hydrate!) The storyline plays out as classic dungeon-crawling fun, filled with heroic battles and treasure hunting, all conveniently designed for your mobile device. Players choose dungeons from a vibrant in-game map, each promising its own unique monsters and loot galore.
Dungeon Mechanics
Here’s the twist: each time you defeat monsters in one room, you get to pick your next challenge from a range of options. It’s like a buffet, but instead of food, you’re served a side of goblins, trolls, and the occasional chest filled with shiny loot. Completing dungeons unlocks new ones, paving the way to an infinite mode for the ultimate loot-hunters!
Automated Battles — A Double-Edged Sword
Don’t let the title fool you — battles in Guild of Guardians are aimed at being flashy yet automated. Players can hit the ‘fight’ button and sit back while the characters do their thing, rolling their eyes at the strategy as their heroes leap into action. Of course, you can always activate their special abilities for a little hands-on experience, but why lift a finger when they can do the work for you, right?
Hero Collecting and Crafting
Let’s talk about collecting heroes—oh, the joy! As you traverse through dungeons, gathering materials for crafting gear becomes essential. New heroes can be summoned, bringing a variety of abilities to spice up your gameplay. The more heroes you collect, the greater your crafting potential. Who doesn’t want to gear up their heroes with something shiny? Just don’t forget to pay attention to those materials; crafting high-tier items will have you scrambling for rare ingredients. It’s like that time you attempted to bake a soufflé and ended up with scrambled eggs!
The Future Looks Bright for Guild of Guardians
The demo showcased engaging gameplay filled with tactical decisions. While the game caters to turn-based RPG fans, it might not appeal to those seeking fast-paced hack-and-slash action. However, with its open beta approaching sometime in Q4 2023, many are excited to see how Guild of Guardians evolves with additional content and features.
Final Thoughts
In conclusion, while Guild of Guardians still has some polishing to do, the engaging gameplay and interesting mechanics show promise. If you enjoy a game that requires strategic planning and isn’t just a grind for cryptocurrency, this might just be your cup of tea. Just remember — next time you’re about to dive headfirst into the world of heroes and dungeons, maybe grab that cup of coffee first. Happy gaming!
