Mini Royale: Nations - Battle royale FPS, is quick and feels a lot like Counter Strike

Introduction

Mini Royale: Nations is a gaming universe developing diverse gameplays. Its current offering, the first-person shooter, is quick and feels a lot like Counter Strike. In the first half of this year,players will also buy land, earn NFTs (non-fungible tokens), buy buildings and all kinds of other cool stuff. The focus of the game is having fun and working together. Building this project in stages, the developers want to iteratively create value in the Mini Royale ecosystem.  Though in early stages, it promised to be a very extensive game. If you want to know all the ins and outs, I advise you to read the whitepaper (link at the bottom). 

While the first version of the shooter game is now live,the official game, with its game tokens $CHEDDAR and $ROYALE, will be launched early this year. CHEDDAR is earned by playing. Cheddar can be traded against other cryptocurrencies on the open market. ROYALEis the in-game token that allows you to purchase premium NFTs. Both tokens are not yet live at the time of writing. 

In the gaming universe you will soon be able to buy the following types of NFTs: 

• Weapons (visual only, better weapons are earned by playing) 

• Outfits (cosmetic, what does your character look like) 

• Land (affects the game, certain bonus for gun types) 

• Buildings (Utility buildings have in-game effects, and cosmetic buildings) 

• Tools and equipment (allow you to interact with certain areas of land) 

Gameplay

The game is easy to play, and hard to master. For those who have played Counter Strike, Quake, Rainbow Six or any other AAA FPS-game the game and in game experience is remarkably familiar. The game is fully web based; no installers needed.   Simply go to https://miniroyale.io/. And create an account, connect your Phantom wallet, and start playing and earning. 

Game modes

There are several different game modes you can choose from. 

• Team Death Match 

• Capture the flag 

• Battle Royale 

• Adrenaline, this is the season special 

Like Fortnite, there are seasons. With each season there are battle passes. You can earn rewards through daily competition and seasonalquests. The team works tirelessly on updating content and quests.

How to get started

First, you need a Solana WEB 3.0 Wallet. The Phantom wallet is a popular choice. Install this as an extension for Chrome, Firefox and Brave. You can now interact with the Solana blockchain.  Okay, this all sounds interesting, but what can I do now? The first set of NFTs was released on December 9. The NFT can be used in the game and will provide the corresponding visual experience. But the NFTs also have other utility driven advantages: 

• Ultra-rare 1 one-time stock (season 1 premium NFT) 

• Holders have a chance to win 1 of 250 premium NFTs 

• Season 1 NFTs can breed with NFTs from other seasons, after 5 breeds your Season 1 NFT evolves into its final form. 

• Battle pass boost - more in-game coins and collect if you have this NFT 

• Weapons airdrop, special Season 1 skins for your weapons 

• $CHEDDAR airdrop, when the token comes out you will be the first to get these tokens for free 

The NFTs are sold via Magic Eden. At the time of writing, the floor price is 2.69 SOL, and you can buy them with a Solana wallet (e.g., Phantom). 

Conclusion 

A gaming ecosystem with a very solid team, 21 million in investments, strong long-term plans and a working product. There are already a lot of people playing it and big influencers are supporting the project. It feels like a professional and solid project, not the 14th random pixel image of a gorilla. Now is your chance to get your hands on one of the first 10,000 NFTs and become an early member of the Mini Royale community!
