STL can in turn be sold on exchanges and eventually converted into fiat/legal tender. More info on Coins & Steel economy will be shared and detailed in future posts.

More than its “gimmicks”

While the blockchain aspect is enough to set Coins & Steel apart from every other RPG on the market, our primary goal here is to build a great game.

We want to focus on an RPG where player choice truly matters. The game boasts a variety of classes with a branching skill system, as well as features designed around fortifications, owning or defending your own slice of the world.

This game world is truly shaped and molded by the player base.

A Brave New World

What good would your fully realized character be without a fully realized world? Luckily we’ve has got you covered.

A large open world is a large open world divided into multiple zones. Each zone contains one settlement, which starts off as a rural village.

Players cooperate to build up the village into a town, a city, and finally a citadel. Each city’s stage of growth attracts new dangers to the surrounding lands: monsters, dungeons, world bosses, and resources will appear as a settlement develops.

Different regions will have different resources. Not only does this encourage exploration, but also collaboration (trading), and even conflict.

Keeping combat real

In every fantasy world filled with treasures and secrets, monsters and ne’er-do-wells are naturally there to get in between you and glory.

In Coins & Steel, combat is played out in real-time. This sets it apart from most RPG’s that run on blockchain, where combat is often turn-based.

With a real-time combat system, we are adding urgency and dynamism to the world, where battles are fast paced, exciting, and satisfying.

Craft Til’ You Drop

A variety of materials are used in crafting equipment and consumable items. Consumables can range from potions and enchantments, to simple things like meals or pet food.

Players will also be crafting items, weapons and armor. And when alliances forge and players cooperate, they can use their crafting knowledge and resource to build siege weapons and fortifications.

Keep it Classy

At the start of the game the player can choose between three basic classes: Fighters, Archers, and Wizards.

Fighters are heavily-armored warriors. Their main attributes are strength and toughness, allowing them to take heavy hits and keep going. They are average damage dealers with high health and high defense. Fighters are great on the front line, attacking enemies directly.

Archers are skilled in marksmanship. They are highly agile and effective attackers from range, especially against low-defense targets. Archers can inflict severe damage but their survivability in close quarters is limited.

Wizards are skilled magic practitioners renowned for their intelligence and ability to cast powerful spells that penetrate armor. They are great damage dealers but their health and defense attributes make them fragile on the front lines.

Each class will have three trait branches with class specific skills in each branch.

A Trait may be a talent or a skill. Talents are passive, they reward bonuses to a character’s attributes. Like increasing the characters defense against poison.

Skills are active, so they require player input before they are performed. A well timed Skill can mean the difference between victory and defeat.

As we strive to grant the greatest choice to players, it will be possible to obtain all Traits for your class through the Reborn feature. We will detail this, along with a deeper dive into classes in another post.

Seamless Onboarding

All this talk of blockchains and cryptos might be a bit too heady for some, but there’s no need to worry about the ins and outs of the blockchain technology or the open crypto market to get the most out of the game.

From trading and bartering items to exchanging STL for ETH (or even fiat) everything is handled seamlessly in game. We make it so easy for you that you won’t even notice that the game is running on a blockchain.

And most importantly, the game is completely free to play. This sets it apart from most blockchain based games, that often require the player to buy their avatar or make some kind of purchase to play at all.

With Coins & Steel, we are crafting up to be an adventure for the ages!
