Phantom Galaxies - An open-world online space simulation for new pilots

Introduction

What’s better than bringing a play-and-earn approach to traditional AAA games? That’s right, creating an entire multiverse ecosystem. Phantom Galaxies aims to be the leading multichain science-fiction shared world online APRG game. Each individual blockchain will have its own home galaxy. Players from these different networks and blockchains will be able to interact with each other throughout the Phantom Galaxies universe, creating a multiverse experience that shows NFT interoperability at its best. 

Story

Over fifty years have passed since the great war between the Union and Commonwealth. Today, these two factions uneasily co-exist in an alliance against a lawless pirate guilds and new, more dangerous enemy: the Sha’Kari. Technologically superior, hell-bent on taking revenge for the humans’ desecration of their home-world, this alien threat tests the human alliance when it is needed most. It’s going to be a wild ride.

The Ranger Squad is a unit of Union and Commonwealth elite pilots, known for their bravery and effectiveness in battles. Do you have what it takes to make a name for yourself among the Ranger elite?

Gameplay

Switch strategically between classic mecha robot mode and starship mode. Your moment-to-moment decisions on which mode to use are vital to your in-game journey.

• Mecha robot mode: Most effective ranged combat, allows ground-based combat and exploration.

• Starship mode: Best for space combat and space travel.

Fight on the front lines and explore deep space. Discover valuable resources to fuel your fight against Ranger foes.  Throughout the game, upgrade your mechs and unlock special traits. Fine-tune the perfect Starfighter setup for each combat scenario. Choose one of the four different Starfighters to launch into the stars:

• Lancer

• Buster

• Assault

• Breacher

Core Game Loop

Explore the galaxies and upgrade your Starfighter as you become a better pilot. Complete missions and quests, gain in-game assets, craft items and level up your mech. 

Missions

Learn more about the universe's characters, locations, and histories. Missions are designed to tell a long-form story. 

Quests

These are standalone stories. Quests showcase less important characters and factions within the Phantom Galaxies universe. This allows players to enjoy a wider variety of gameplay scenarios. 

Operations

These will be the backbone of the repeatable content that keeps gamers interested and engaged daily or weekly.

Raids

Raids will be the ultimate PvE challenge, in which you team up with other players to tackle the toughest trials in the game. Do you have strong coordination, communication, and a deep understanding of the game’s mechanics? Join your team on one of the raids!

These game activities aim to level up your Avatar NFT and Starfighter NFT to their maximum capacity. Gain resources and other in-game items to reach your full potential.

PvP

PvP content will be available in the Arena. The Arena will host small-scale PvP combat battles, with both team and free-for-all modes. Additionally, periodic PvP events will take place in the future, where you earn rewards determined by an event-specific system. 

Organizations

Different organizations will allow players to band into groups. This could be because of a common purpose or a governance structure. 

• Corporation

• DAO

• Democratic

• Private

• Sponsored

• Warlord

A Starfighter which is destroyed in battle will lose durability. If this level remains above 0, you can still use your NFT. If it should fall below 0, your Starfighter will be locked and inaccessible until a specific cooldown period has expired. You can, however, buy an insurance policy to reduce the cooldown period.

Player-owned planets

Users can own land in Phantom Galaxies in the form of Planets. Every player, or organization, can buy and own Planets. These Planets are not only an in-game base, but also produce an emission of the in-game utility and governance token of Phantom Galaxies, ASTRAFER.
