Traditionally, gaming has always been centered around players having a few fun battling monsters and collecting artifacts with no tangible monetary benefit accruing to them. If anything, some of the traditional games make it near-impossible for players to advance without spending their hard-earned cash on gear and weapons.
The emergence of games such as Crypto Kitties and Axie Infinity has given rise to a new and exciting trend in the gaming space, play-to-earn (P2E). Here, instead of mindless hours of grinding for nothing, gamers can acquire real and sellable blockchain-based assets as a reward for playing.
In the form of NFTs or Non Fungible Tokens, these digital assets can be cashed out for crypto, therefore providing an earning opportunity for both serious and casual gamers. In this short review, we take a look at one of the hottest new entrants into the rapidly developing space of NFT gaming, the aptly named Brute Force Fight.
Brute Force Fight Gameplay
Brute Force Fight is a space-themed wargame built on the Binance Smart Chain (BNC) that offers gamers the chance to earn passive income while playing. The platform blends NFT gaming and decentralized finance (DeFi) to create an immersive play-to-earn ecosystem replete with exciting space adventure storylines full of dangers such as space pirates and AI-controlled ships.
In the game, players can colonize planets and asteroids, establish bases of operation, and mine for resources. They can also form alliances with other gamers and build federations to trade with or wage wars against other players and plunder their resources.
Brute Force Fight cannot be accused of scrounging on gameplay; the game has eight different types of weapons, including assault rifles, sniper rifles, submachine guns, shotguns, flamethrowers, pistols, and a variety of armor augments.
The platform’s combat system is based on the player vs. player (PvP) and the player vs. environment (PvE) game modes, where gamers fight each other in 1v1 to 30v30 battles or against AI-controlled elements of the ecosystem.
There are also aerial fights and infantry battles inside enemy spaceships, with attacking teams having to capture specific points such as the command center and the armory to gain XP and resources. Attacking or defending the main spaceship is done in smaller vessels.
The game will also allow players to customize their character’s physical appearance, outfit, spaceships, vessels, and weapon skins.
**$BFORCE Presale **
December is slated to be a crucial and exciting month for Brute Force Fight, with the expected presale of its native token, the $BFORCE. This token is the primary medium of exchange in the Brute Force marketplace and will invest and store value on the platform. Players can also use the token to customize and upgrade space ships, personal vessels, gears, equipment, and federation bases. However, Brute Force plans to make its NFT marketplace available not only to gamers on its platform but also to the general public.
Starting from the 14th of December, Brute Force Fight will launch its Initial Coin Offering (ICO) on Unicrypt. The Brute Force team hopes to have sold at least 5 million units of the 10 million $BFORCE tokens in supply by the end of the ICO. Another 4 million tokens will be put into a three-month lock for the game’s NFT marketplace, while 7% of the total token supply will be used in marketing, with 1% vested every week. 3% of the token supply will be ploughed back into the project, with 1% each earmarked for game development, marketing, and a private sale airdrop.
The team’s targeted hard cap is 2,000 BNB, with one BNB valued at 1,500 $BFORCE. The maximum spending per account is pegged at 3 BNB, equivalent to 4,500 $BFORCE. After the Initial Coin Offering, the Brute Force team hopes to list $BFORCE on various exchanges and analytical networks like CoinGecko, PancakeSwap, and CoinMarketCap.
**Security Audit and KYC **
As is customary with new crypto projects, an audit was carried out on Brute Force Fight’s smart contracts by SolidProof. The security audit ensured that the smart contracts were not vulnerable to both internal and external attacks. SolidProof also carried out a Know Your Customer (KYC) test on the team behind the Brute Force project. Brute Force Fight passed the audits without any red flag being raised, thus providing assurance that the platform is safe and secure for gamers.
**Post-December Brute Force Fight Roadmap **
The Brute Force Fight team expects to release the game’s beta version to the public in early 2022 by activating its in-game NFT trading. The release of the beta version will be buoyed by a concerted ad campaign aimed at popularizing the game. Subsequently, the team hopes to make agreements with more crypto exchanges to carry the $BFORCE token.
Version 1 of Brute Force Fight should be available to play worldwide by March 2022, with all kinks discovered in the beta version rectified. In that same month, the Brute Force team intends to distribute gifts and bonuses to its high-level players.
With Steam being one of the largest digital distributors of video games, Brute Force Fight plans to reach an agreement with the platform to carry an alternative version of the game. This is intended to grow Brute Force’s footprint beyond the nascent crypto gaming community and introduce it to a wider audience.
By May 2022, the team expects to release its first update of the Brute Force Fight wargame. Further to that, the team intends to organize international tournaments for gamers worldwide to slug it out for rich prizes.
**Author’s Take **
Brute Force combines immersive gameplay and intriguing storylines in a real-value collectible ecosystem, making it attractive to hardcore and casual gamers looking to earn passive income while having fun.
The team’s plan to have a version of the game on Steam means that the game will soon be available to a much wider audience and subsequently make its in-game marketplace more active and potentially more profitable.
