Gods Unchained is a top-tier, play-to-earn tactical card game that has already exchanged more than 52 million worth of cards since its launch in 2018. This game has taken the blockchain industry by storm and has secured a place among the most popular games in the market. Despite being in beta, Gods Unchained has attracted over 450,000 registered players and continues to add more to its player base every day. With its longevity and stability, it has managed to stand the test of time and has emerged as the longest-running project in the ever-changing NFT industry.
This game is the brainchild of former game director of Magic: The Gathering Arena, Chris Clay. The team behind Gods Unchained comprises a bunch of industry legends who have collectively worked with major gaming giants such as EA Games, Riot Games, Wizards of the Coast, and more. With their vast experience and expertise in the field, the team is committed to making Gods Unchained one of the most successful and industry-leading blockchain game franchises for years to come.
In this free-to-play, play-to-earn PC game, players are tasked with outsmarting their opponents by building card decks that can combat a wide variety of tactics. The game offers much more than just a standard rock, paper, scissors style card game. It demands players to use their intellect, clever tactics, and strategies to outsmart their opponents and emerge victorious. The game is underpinned by rich lore, fantasy, and beautiful artwork that add further depth and dimension to this already popular game.
"By leveraging Immutable X’s ability to create millions of NFTs that cost a fraction to mint over L1 blockchains, players can buy, trade and upgrade cards without the cost of gas, which means even our least-expensive assets have meaningful value and utility." - Chris Clay
In this game, cards are NFTs that are digitally owned by players on Ethereum and can be traded on marketplaces or used to earn meaningful currencies and items, including the ERC-20 $GODS token, through tournaments, forging cards together, or attending play-to-earn events. In-game items that are earned through playing have ample, thoughtfully planned utility that facilitates sustainability in the Gods Unchained ecosystem. These earned items can be sold on marketplaces such as Immutable X, which is the layer 2 scaling solution that Gods Unchained is built upon.
Gods Unchained digital assets live on Immutable X, which is Ethereum’s first zero-knowledge rollup (zk-rollup) for NFTs. Since migrating to Immutable X in late June 2021, NFT trading volume for Gods Unchained has increased by 1.5 times greater than Ethereum mainnet, while consuming 99% less energy to perform those transactions. This has allowed players to enjoy fast, affordable and secure trading at high volume. The adoption of Immutable X has not only enhanced the user experience but also strengthened the Gods Unchained ecosystem, making it more sustainable and engaging for the players.
