New Web3 Technology

Technology changes and so do the needs of gamers, on a professional and also on a casual level. Web3 gaming technologies have opened up new ways to play and earn, for millions more around the world. With this we have seen a web3 equivalent of World of Tanks from Hit Factor Games.

“I’m very confident what will play out is that the space will sort itself out building ownership, building communities around games. The more you can build, cater experiences to players that are truly invested in your products, and actually give them ownership opportunities and opportunities to determine the direction of the game…that seems like a really meaningful experience versus what you can find in web2 and traditional gaming.” – Matt Reed of Hit Factor Games

War Park wants to give a new meaning to Tank themed games by giving players full control of their in-game experience with the integration of blockchain technologies. Players own their assets, can battle it out solo and/or in teams to climb leaderboards and can even upgrade your base to improve your gameplay.

You are able to build alliances or ‘factions’ with other players to enhance your in game experience. Participate in events to earn more rewards for yourself and teammates. Tanks hold 5 crew members that are either unlocked or recruited. They are the gunner, the loader, the radio operator, the driver, and the commander.

Skill Based Gameplay

Whilst you can invest money into War Tanks, it must be noted that you can play this game for free and progress in-game through putting in time and effort.

Gameplay is skill based making this a fairly fair game for both experienced and inexperienced players. This matchmaking system is found also in the Land as you are situated with other players who are of a similar skill and level. Activity points are distributed every day to players. Depending on your skill and tank rarity will affect how many points you receive.

By partnering with Openloot, an Ethereum blockchain based marketplace you can purchase NFTs for BluePrints, Land and Building. Openloot is user friendly and does not require a specific wallet to transfer the assets purchased to the linked games.
