My Crypto Heroes is the most popular game on the Ethereum platform from Japanese developers. In the top ratings of decentralized applications, MCH (as My Crypto Heroes is briefly called) is second only to CryptoKitties. However, My Crypto Heroes belongs to the genre of role-playing computer games, which means that MCH is the most famous in its gamification segment.
My Crypto Heroes
Despite the total number of My Crypto Heroes community (a little more than 3000), in a day the application of the same name and the desktop game-version are visited by more than 1500 users, i.e. 50% of the total number. This figure is the highest among all games on the Ethereum platform.
The game is released by Tokyo-based software development company Double jump.tokyo, the target audience of the game-platform is Asian, so the main language of the game is Japanese. But My Crypto Heroes app for Android and iOS is downloaded in English by default, allowing players from all over the world to create accounts, use settings, but to understand the game options, you can go to the official website of the platform. Creating an account is quick – just think of a password, and the address will be generated automatically.
My Crypto Heroes platform offers two options for user registration. The first one involves logging in via the Metamask crypto wallet. The user must have a certain amount of ethers in the account (there is no specific minimum and maximum threshold). Or, if the user wants to test the game, you can log in through a Google account. However, it will not be possible to get tokens for the game due to the lack of a wallet. The player’s balance will be displayed in the app under Asserts.
My Crypto Heroes, as the developers of the game claim, is a fast and conventional RPG – role playing game – game genre, which involves creating characters and “pumping their skils” – abilities. The game has its own space – in MSN it is a historical era in which the heroes of the world and their enemies live. Platform users play for the positive heroes. The player’s task is to create the strongest and equipped with all skills and items character to win on the battlefield.
Of course, the victory is rewarded with bonus points – My Crypto Heroes tokens are called GUM (ERC-721 token), which can then be converted into the cryptocurrency ETN. All heroes, except for beginners (default heroes), can be exchanged on the Ethereum network. To buy a hero, you need to exchange GUM for the character.
The first thing the user can pay attention to is the pixelated image of the characters. Many times there are comments that “the picture is terrible”. All the graphics in My Crypto Heroes resemble the design of games in the era of their inception. That’s why you will have to get used to the “square” characters.
My Crypto Heroes characters are designed for different levels of rarity and power. For example, some have items that increase their attack skills, while others get a higher defense power that allows them to deal more damage. Once purchased, all characters are stored on the blockchain.
My Crypto Heroes offers different strategy difficulty options for all levels of players. However, there is no incredible storyline like in centralized game analogs, as the developers are constantly experimenting with the format. The app features a Strategy section that describes the different variants of the game, but all of the content in the linked blogs is published in Japanese.
The characters themselves have the “faces” of world personalities, from the look of Albert Einstein to Japanese writer Fukuzawa Yukichi. Therefore, each character in the game is special. You can change the appearance of the characters in the Art Edit section, in our opinion, it is better to do it in the desktop version, as the redesign of the character implies loading new images.
