The pioneer to bring the idea of blockchain games to reality is CryptoKitties. However, it is Axie Infinity that defines how a good blockchain game should be. To infinity and beyond, that's how to describe Axie Infinity since it promises an endless fun. With breeding, raising and battling, Axie Infinity is more than just a Tamagotchi-styled game, not to mention a fresh face yet potential of blockchain games industry.

So what is Axie Infinity exactly?
Inspired by the idea of Pokémon and Tamagotchi games, Axie Infinity is a decentralized game based on Ethereum platform introducing players to the adorable fantasy creatures known as Axie. Those creatures also have the powerful potential underneath their appearance. The game allows players to breed, raise, battle and even trade them in marketplace.

Axies live in their own artificial environment called Terrarium. Through daily activities and battles with other Axies, the Axies could gain experience to evolve to a superior level. To succeed in raising them, players need to understand their Axies as if Axies are your real best friends.

Axies are deadly cute, that is an undeniable truth. But Axies are not only just cute, their appearance are almost unique. It is difficult to find two look-alike Axies since their body parts have various forms and shapes. There are more than 500 Axie's body parts (and much more to be revealed); thus, the combination of them is limitless. Players will never be bored of exploring new combinations.

Axies' body and parts are classified into classes including Beast, Plant, Bug, Bird, Reptile and Aquatic, and more in future release. Moreover, the parts also come with four levels of rarity, which are Common, Rare, Ultra Rare, Legendary.

A fresh yet potential blockbuster of blockchain games
Blockchain technology is supposed to make gaming experience more fun by overcoming technology barriers. However, due to its nature, most blockchain games encounter new barriers. Interactions in game can be costly for execution, leading to the poor gameplay.

Understanding the weakness of other existing blockchain games, Axie Infinity can be called an innovative twist since it focuses a lot on its interesting gameplay.

It is the battle system that makes Axie Infinity stand out. Axies will take turn to fight in a 3v3 battle. The Axies fight for their own will, but to win the victory, players just aren't normal players, players need to a real strategist, from wisely choosing appropriate Axies for their team to placing them at the tactical positions.

An Axie's strength is determined by various stats. The Axies will depend a lot on their body parts. Each part contributes stats to the Axies. Some Axie parts act like Axie's weapons, because of their own Axie moves. The moves - either melee or ranged - will determine the usage of the that Axie on the battlefield.

Is this an official ANN thread or the community created? AXIE receives a lot of attention now due Binance Launchpad launch and massive promotion campaign from Binance. I checked the Russian Introduction a little, seems like a quite interesting project, although I don't play blockchain games usually.

[disconnectme]

I am very glad for the team, how they play their card and was able o make it to Binance is a great feat for a project under the radar for most of us. I just hope they deliver on this goodwill they have now, the market is getting hot and only those that have product to deliver will eat the good of this bull run

A new gaming platform run by ethereum blockchain.

But why is the axie official account not active here in their thread?
They should have at least one rep to maintain the activity of their thread here.

A new gaming platform run by ethereum blockchain.

A lot of gaming platforms are really on the rise these days.
But wonder if eth-based games can really make a dent in this market?

i think its was officials announcement threads by the team, but they are only writing this threads without any infographic because they didnt purchase cooper members, yes this project hass a lot attentions and such a potential project to be success, im follow them on telegram until today.

[In the silence]

I have been following this project since August and yes the developers are great doing developments of this game, friends of my friends are playing those cute little fellas and perhaps earning a decent amount of tokens by breeding.

Goodluck!

axie is an old project so maybe this is just a thread of notification about their future plans especially after working with Binance maybe they want the best to be promoted everywhere and hopefully many people who are interested in this game too

for some reason they're not really active here on bitcointalk, but you will find a lot of support from the team on discord.
here's the invite link:
https://discord.gg/axie

they also have a telegram.

there's a lot going on for axie, AXS on binance, partnership with AAVE, AXS token for governance, land gameplay coming soon.

worth tuning in

[ecnalubma]

I love this project every development is packed with excitement. I have no doubt in the near future it will be the biggest blockchain game in the space. The project is already making noise these days most especially that their tokens are already listed in one of the biggest exchange and continuously attracting players around the world. There’s more coming, keeping my eyes on it always.

wonder why they are not giving a lil bit of attention here? the community here is big and without their direct support by having presence here, how can users get their answers if they have queries and all?
they have actually great partnerships so maybe they are just confident that they can get players without active support in the forum. looking at their website, seems this is really worth watching for.

[Lucasgabd]

I'm not sure why they're not so active here, gonna ask on discord.

thre's another thread about Axie Infinity here on bitcointalk, not sure why either, I just posted some nice new partnertship with AAVE there
you can see the details here:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2973401.msg55586330#msg55586330

[Lucasgabd]

just to add on that matter, asked the devs on discord and they said 2 things:
they don't have enough people to take care of all the social media
they prefered not to focus on bitcointal because they don't think it'll attract many plair

fair enough.

so they said that the idea is that community helps to spread the word too (which is exactly what many users like me and @pangu are doing here.

in case you haven't checked for some reason theres this other topic about axie as well
