🔔 GAM3RS NFT Mint Explained

The GAM3RS Lobby will open its doors for only 333 worthy gamers tomorrow, March 29, at 3PM UTC. Over the past few days, the Lobby has been filling up rather quickly. But what is this collection? When is it minting? Where can you mint it? And why should you care?

How are you running this mint?

Our mint has 2 phases. First, the Lobby contains 333 approved applications that can mint their NFT for 3 hours. Once the first window closes, if any NFTs remain, all applicants who did not make it into the first phase can mint on an FCFS basis in the Queue. Please note that the mint is free. However, each gamer must pay the gas fees required to mint.

If all 333 NFTs are minted in the Lobby phase, no NFTs will remain to mint for those waiting in the Queue.

✍️ Reviews of the Week

We stepped into a giant weaponized mech to take on four agents and then travelled to medieval times to slay monsters in our two featured reviews:

Despite needing some improvements, Boss Fighters provided a highly enjoyable experience. With recent enhancements, I had a fantastic time playing, finding myself fully immersed in adrenaline-pumping chases and hide-and-seek moments. Playing over voice chat added to the fun, especially when the boss pulled off unexpected moves, leading to bursts of laughter. The game's unpredictable elements, like random jumps and debris, added to the excitement and made for an entertaining spectacle.

Dark Throne boasts a pleasing aesthetic, but could benefit from more diverse surroundings and themes. Its progressive content expansion adds to the sense of growth within the game. The integrated auto feature keeps players engaged, especially during challenging levels, ensuring active participation. However, the game lacks a user-friendly ability comparison system and character customization options, hindering player personalization and decision-making.
