Axie infinity is one of the popular and leading crypto NFT game out there on Ethereum. However it suffers from the gas fees problem that is affecting the users while they play the game.
Axie is becoming harder to play for newbies because they can't invest growing Ethereum price along with the gas fees. There are clones coming out which are offering similar experience like Axie Infinity and without much of barrier to entry for newbies.
One such game is - Karastar. I have been writing about my journey on the Karastar for some time now. You can check out my posts - here, here and here.
How do you get started with it?
Karastar requires metamask, an email address and free time. Yes, unlike Axie infinity you don't need initial capital. You can get started free of cost. You can register here.
After you register, make sure to register your metamask or the trustwallet with the address field in the game. You can also verify email address as a lot of goodies are sent through that binding.
Once you finish with the registration, you will get 3 karas. From this point onwards you have to download the game either on mobile or windows or mac desktop.
What about the bugs in the game?
Game is still in beta. And it would remain so till the December 2021. If you are reading this in future the game must be out of the beta and any new bugs you can report and get corrected through telegram channel. They also have reddit but I avoid that as it is full of trolls and people who personal attack.
What is UMY, xDAI and KARA?
In the current beta phase, none of these tokens are working. UMY is under test and in near future it would be exchanged for points which again can be exchanged for withdrawable tokens or USDT.
UMY is meant to be used for the kara breeding, purchase and evolution. xDai is the currency that would be in use for the NFT items. KARA and the in game energy token is still experimental but I hope that once the December 2021 mainnet is released it would be usable.
The future update of the token is unclear so wait for the final release.
How do you earn points?
When you play the tasks, dungeon and rank. You end up earning some UMY and also spend the energy. Your energy is recovered in 5 hours per 6 energy spent.
In near future these points are going to be dictating how you are going to be making the withdrawable items from the game.
Like axie infinity the game will soon become complex and also the gameplay will have more things added too. So in beta phase you get to test some of the process there as well.
Is it worth playing Karastar?
A lot of noisecash users are asking me that if it's worth playing the game. I think it is but not in the beta phase. Like nothing in the beta phase will be there to cash out as it will be wiped out once the game is in mainnet.
If you are into the crypto gaming and are playing the game like Axie Infinity and want your time spent on the game convert to some of the monetized process, then you should definitely play this game.
