Review on World of Ether by Fanuel PORPORTY
A decentralized collectible dueling game on the Ethereum blockchain.
World of Ether is an online game based on the Ethereum blockchain. The game revolves around collectible virtual eggs. You buy egg, collect eggs, and watch the eggs hatch and grow into monsters.
In World of Ether, players called explorers battle, breed, and collect monsters. You can earth ETH by raising and selling monsters. Your monsters level up and gain experience from battling. You can also get permanent credits by discovering a new monster.
One of the unique things about World of Ether is that, unlike many other crypto collectible games, in-game items and monsters aren’t procedurally generated. Everything in the game is custom-made and highly-stylized. It’s being designed to compete artistically with top mainstream video games. World of Ether players collect monsters called Etherians. You can store, sell and breed your Etherians on the Ethereum blockchain. Your collectible digital Etherians are securely stored on the Ethereum blockchain. You can also spend ETH on eggs or pay to find hundreds of new monsters. Players can also spawn to discover new monsters. For example, you can fight your way to a legendary monster. Or, you can buy an egg and test your luck.
Once you have Etherians, you can fight them against other players. Fighting your Etherians with other players allows you to improve them, increasing your chances of raising rare monsters.
Pros
- The reason World of Ether is decentralized is because all core game logic is handled by decentralized smart contracts. These smart contracts have algorithms that give the game a fair and transparent playing field. There’s no way for the creators of the game to flood the market with monsters for their own profit, for example, nor can they influence the outcomes of battles or change the core rules of the game.
- In World of Ether, Etherians do not gain experience points. Instead, players do. The higher the level of a player, the more likely that player will be to produce rare Etherians when breeding them.
- Players can offer their male Etherians for siring. In other words, a player with a female monster can pay another player to provide a male mate for it. The player with the female Etherian always gets to keep the offspring produced by this. The player with the male Etherian gets paid in ETH for providing this service.
Cons
- eggs have become expensive since the presale.
