Gameplay

I was not lucky enough to get into the beta but from my research Swords of Blood will be published as a cross-play mobile and PC game, built on the framework of an award-winning title that was initially released, only on mobile, but not fully completed, in 2019 by Artifex Mundi.

Swords of Blood is a multiplayer game that is played in rounds, with each round lasting a set amount of time. During each round, players can equip their characters with NFT weapons and armor to prepare for battles against other players.

The battles themselves are turn-based and use a rock-paper-scissors style combat system, where each weapon type (i.e. sword, shield, and bow) has its own strengths and weaknesses. Players can also use various items and abilities to gain an edge in battle, such as healing potions or speed boosts.

The ultimate goal of Swords of Blood is to defeat as many opponents as possible during each round and earn points, which can be used to climb the game's leaderboard and earn rewards. Additionally, players can buy and sell NFT items in the game's marketplace using cryptocurrency, allowing them to potentially earn real-world value from their in-game items.

Gameplay Modes

Swords of Blood have several gameplay modes, with plans to add more as the game grows:

Main campaign dungeons in three difficulty levels.

Monster Hunt dungeons, where you play against waves of progressively harder monsters.

Boss Fortress, where you team up with four other players to fight against powerful bosses.

PvP, where you compete against other players to rank up in the global leaderboard to earn prizes.

Daily dungeons, where you enter a special rift to play a daily selection of dungeons with special rewards.

Event dungeons are time-limited event dungeons with a special currency that can be spent on unique event items.

Challenge dungeons are special events where you take challenges to win prizes from the global leaderboard.

Shattered Mazed is a week-long special event with an event shop where you go through mazes and fight monsters and bosses.

Players play these dungeons on a regular basis, though much less often than the grinding-oriented ones (which creates the "clear-once-a-day" habit). Between them, they may check how far they can progress, both in terms of the dungeon difficulty or player rankings (which provides a monetization force).

As the game grows, they plan to add many more features and modes, like:

Guilds

Guild raids

Up to 16-player PvP

Base building

Global esports tournaments

Item System and Elements

Common

Uncommon

Elements

Elements items and enemies are divided into six elements: Fire, Water, Dark, Light, Nature, and Physical. Each item has a unique ability that derives from the object's element. When you attack your opponent using an object strengthened by an element, they are susceptible to - you get a bonus to the damage.

The Swords of Blood token and NFTs

Swords of Blood has its own ERC-20 token called BLOOD, which is used as the in-game currency for buying and selling NFTs in the game's marketplace. Players can earn BLOOD tokens by winning battles or completing certain achievements, and they can also buy and sell them on various cryptocurrency exchanges.

The game's NFT marketplace is where players can buy and sell weapons, armor, and other in-game items, which are represented as unique and verifiable NFTs on the Ethereum blockchain. Each NFT has its own set of stats and abilities, making some items more valuable than others.

One of the unique features of Swords of Blood's marketplace is its use of a "Dutch auction" system, which allows players to bid on items in a descending price format. This can create a competitive and exciting atmosphere as players try to win their favorite items at the best possible price.

In their pre-Sale until today they sold 28.815.475 out of 32.500.000 tokens and raised $1.171.035 out of $1.370.000 which is a very good sign for their project!

Swords of Blood Crypto Community

Swords of Blood has an active and growing community of players and supporters who are passionate about the game and its use of blockchain technology and NFTs. The game has a presence on various social media platforms, including Twitter, Discord, Telegram, and Medium, where players can connect with each other, share tips and strategies, and stay up-to-date on the latest game developments.

In addition, Swords of Blood regularly hosts community events, such as tournaments and giveaways, which not only help to engage players but also reward them for their participation and loyalty to the game.

Their social channels tell us the following as of today:

Discord: Link does not work on their website ( never a good sign )

Telegram: 28.583 members but only 449 online

Youtube: 14.400 Subscribers but their last videos only have a few 100 views

Twitch: 16 followers and never streamed ( better to remove if your not using it )

Twitter: 41.200 followers and decent activity!

Facebook: 98.530 followers ( totally not equal compared tot he other channels, way to high compared tot heir activity )

Instagram: 12.900 followers but post with only 1 like

Overall they try to do the right thing but in all honestly I can only say that some of these numbers have to be inflated through give aways or bots because compared to the activity they have their following seems too big. There is also no reason for Facebook being their biggest platform as most gamers now use discord and twitter.

Roadmap Swords of Blood

Swords of Blood has an ambitious and exciting roadmap that outlines the game's future development plans and milestones. Some of the key features and updates that are planned for the game include:

Expanding the game's marketplace to include more types of NFT items, such as spells, potions, and artifacts

Adding new gameplay modes, such as cooperative dungeons and boss battles

Integrating with other blockchain games and platforms to offer more opportunities for cross-game interactions and asset exchange

Developing a mobile app for the game, allowing players to easily access Swords of Blood from their mobile devices

Launching a governance system that will allow BLOOD token holders to participate in key decisions related to the game's development and future direction

These are just a few of the exciting developments that are planned for Swords of Blood in the coming months and years. The game's team is committed to continuing to innovate and improve the game, while also listening to feedback from the community and ensuring that Swords of Blood remains a leading example of the potential that blockchain technology and NFTs can bring to the gaming industry.

The team behind the project

If you go to their website it is very easy to find the team behind the project which is always a good sign. You don’t want to see a project where you can’t find any details on that. They show not so professional pictures which is never a bad sign if you target gamers to take it less serious!

A nice introduction on their team members with a link to everyone their linkedin or social. Maybe the most interesting one is their CEO “James Seaman”: A 36-year veteran of the video game industry who has worked on game titles, such as The Sims, Sims City, Ghost Recon, Rainbow Six, and more), on many levels - from programming to CEO.

You would say with experience like that it is hard to go wrong in this industry, very excited to see this project come together!

Closing thoughts:

Overall I am very excited about this project because they have a very good project with high ambitions. Their videos about the gameplay look awesome together with the graphics that can be found. Sadly enough I didn’t get acces tot the beta yet but will try it out as soon as I can! Their community looks a bit inflated to me but it is hard to find a social platform that is 100% organic these days.
