The new PlayMining Play-to-Earn game ‘Lost Archive +’ is a deck-building, strategic placement board game launching at the end of May, with an NFT pre-sale starting at the end of April.
SINGAPORE, April 17, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Web3 entertainment company Digital entertainment resource (DEA) has announced the upcoming launch of Lost archive + Play-to-Earn (P2E) NFT games on PlayMining GameFi platform at the end of May this spring. A pre-sale for the Lost Archive + NFT collection kicks it off PlayMining NFT the marketplace at the end of April.
Lost Archive + will join a rapidly growing catalog of PlayMining P2E games that allow players to earn DEAPcoin ($DEP) through play. DEP tokens can be used to purchase NFTs for gaming tools traded on popular exchanges such as OKX, Gate.io, Uniswap, Bitmart and Bitrue.
“We are strongly committed to building value for our platform and ensuring that Lost Archive + will be a hit with our PlayMining community of over 2.7 million people,” said PlayMining co-founder and co-CEO Kozo Yamada.
In addition to Lost Archive +, PlayMinings includes P2E game titles JobTribes, Make burgers, Menu Dragon Ramen, Graffiti Racer and Lucky farmer. They also have a collaborative metaverse initiative called Kamui Fujiwara verse. Several NFT games are scheduled to be launched this year.
Intense card battles on a strategic game board: The perfect combination
Lost Archive + is a competitive card battle game that combines deck building with strategic placement on a game board. Players choose their favorite cards to create a deck in advance before entering a match with another player, or against an NPC in story mode. Decks can also be shared with others, giving players ample opportunity to explore a variety of strategies. To fight, players use ‘mana’ points to play cards on the board, trying to reduce their opponent’s physical strength to zero while protecting their own minions through various strategic board placements.
The game contains a large number of collectable NFT cards designed to attract players and collectors, although there are also standard cards that can be used for free. Minions are character cards that attack opponents’ power and health, and are placed directly on the game board when played. Also summoned onto the game board are relic cards, which are items that provide an often permanent effect to strengthen friendly minions or weaken enemy minions. Finally, there are spell cards, which are not placed on the board but instead cause immediate magical effects ranging from damaging enemy minions to restoring health and supporting a player’s own minions.
The artwork on these cards reflects a very rich game setting that intertwines sword and sorcery with technology across three separate and distinct superpowers: Ardbeg, a rapidly modernizing civilization, Kalila, a nature-oriented nation, and Port Ellen, a magical land atop a floating continent. The three factions have gone to war after breaking an ancient peace treaty, and it’s up to the players to decide who wins.
In addition to their beautiful artwork and basic gameplay features, NFTs can help players earn more DEP. Including NFTs in a battle deck will increase both stamina and the number of battle points gained. Stamina is required to participate in ranked matches, and match points earn players crystals, which can be converted to DEP. Players can also lend NFTs to others. Crystals earned with a borrowed NFT are shared between the borrower and the NFT’s owner according to a predetermined ratio – which can be an excellent opportunity for players who don’t yet own any NFTs to get a leg up on the P2E aspect of Lost Archive +.
“PlayMining’s most popular game, JobTribes, is also a deck-building card battle game that has a very successful P2E model. Since December 2021, over 9,300 people have borrowed JobTribe’s NFTs and earned over $4.7 million, says DEA CSO Tatsuya Kohrogi. “Lost Archive + builds on this deck building grant formula with an added layer of board placement strategy that we expect will go down very well with our community.”
GameFi-for-Good: Give third-party game developers a leg up
Lost Archive + is developed by Clover Lab., Inc., a Japanese game studio that has been building successful games since 2009. By launching Lost Archive + on the PlayMining GameFi platform, Clover Lab can claim most of the value their game creates, including royalties from NFTs sold on the PlayMining NFT Marketplace. PlayMining also has an expanding metaverse platform that interested partners can build upon.
While DEA is very experienced in building hit games themselves, they are keen to partner with experienced game developers to launch on their platform. Lost Archive + will be the second third-party game to launch on PlayMining – the first, Menya Dragon Ramen, launching in October 2022.
“A big part of our business model is based on championing ‘GameFi-for-Good’ to make social impact,” said DEA’s other co-founder and co-CEO. Naohito Yoshida. “We support P2E because we want to give back to our community. We’re always looking for new ways to support real people with our games, and a great way to do this is by supporting indie game developers. It can be notoriously difficult for small video game companies to build their IPs due to high distribution fees that eat up more than 30% of their revenue. We aim to stop this with a fair and transparent platform that offers internal IP monetization options.”
