Introduction


The gaming system refers to a large centralized system that has a lot of subscribers and rewards every user with the exception of online gaming competitions, and also the involvement of a third-party platform such as YouTube streaming and twitch. Blockchain-based gaming systems on the other hand have provided gamers with opportunities to earn tokens as a reward in playing games and also collecting valuable in the game collectibles which can be traded among gamers through the aid of NFT technology. Blockchain-based games are decentralized thereby allowing gamers to possess tokens in the game and also collectibles as well without any changes from the developers of the game or any central server.

This game has unique characters in them including puppies, pigs, bear cubs, cats, and other exotic creatures. These unique characters are termed cuties in a game.

The Features of Blockchain Cuties


I would like to enumerate some of the important features of blockchain cuties and they include the following;

  • My Cuties

This feature of the Blockchain cuties is composed of pets possed by the player and it is mostly traded or bought from through smart contracts from the in-game marketplace. Each and every pet possess a unique feature in its appearance, cooldown time, abilities, etc.

My Cuties


Special rare pets can be developed by merging pets' abilities, colors, and genes with their corresponding traits. The rarity of the pet increases its market value. Other special features that enhance the uniqueness of pets include the level, their generation, pet species, and adventure frequency. These are all enhanced through the utilization of NFTs (non-fungible tokens) technology.

  • Forge

This feature comprises the modifications acquired in-game gears that help to enhance the battle experience of pets through upgrading, repairing, enchanting, and also creating custom gears for the pets. This section increases the value of the pet when an upgrade is done and also increases the winning rate of the pet per game.

This section is the actual game mode of the blockchain cuties universe. It is this section whereby pets enter into an adventure in order to fight battles with other cuties. They either win or lose battles depending on the experience of their opponent. Matchups are settled based on the abilities of the pets and they are no actual game plays available.

Review


Advantages of the blockchain cuties universe

  • Players earn Gameplay tokens
    Blockchain cuties universe enables players to earn rewards in the form of tokens through trading of game characters within the platform.

  • It is user-friendly
    The blockchain cuties universe platform is user-friendly which provides players with guiding instructions on how to navigate through the platform and participate in playing the game.

  • Multiple Blockchain-based
    The blockchain cuties universe provides a wide range of technology with its 5 blockchains-based network systems.

  • It helps players to earn Passive Income
    Blockchain cuties universe platform serves as a source of earning passive income to players when they re-invest tokens back onto the platform through staking and also providing liquidity.


Disadvantages of the blockchain cuties universe

  • Poor or bad graphics quality
    The graphics quality is very poor in the blockchain cuties universe and this problem isn't only for this platform but also for all blockchain-based games. This is so because blockchain-based games geared towards the rewarding of players mostly.

  • No actual gameplay
    Decentralized games based on the blockchain only provide no actual physical interface for players thereby do not allow players to participate in the gaming action. Only the pets being used determine the outcome of the game.

  • High investments required
    This platform is associated with higher investment in order to have full access to all the features of the game. The prime pets on the Etheruem blockchain are much expensive because of their technology.

  • A Cooldown feature
    Pets do enter into a cooldown state after they have been sent to an adventure and this cooldown period increase as the number of adventure they are sent on also increases. Meaning that if a pet's cooldown state period is 2 minutes, then after 2 adventures its cooldown state period can enter into about 6 minutes.

What’s your rating for the game on a scale of 5.


Rating the game


I will rate this game at 3 on a 5 rating scale and below is my reason.

Reason


Although the blockchain cuties universe provides features that enable gamers to earn rewards and collectible non-fungible tokens but on the other hand it is not quite an engaging game. The game was primarily developed or created to breed pets, enhance them and sell.

I also suggest that the adventure feature and the tournament mode feature too must be improved by putting a feature that will enable players to play the game within the tournament and compete with each other.
