First Look at Monster Racing League – Play to Earn

Monster Racing League is a new play-to-earn racing game developed by New Zealand-based Flightless Studio. The game involves monster-like characters that drive themselves through a racing track. Players have to use unique skills and abilities to destroy their opponents or boost past them. Unlike other blockchain games, the game heavily focuses on the fun factor rather than earning profits.

Monster Racing League is a blockchain racing game that allows players to earn rewards by performing well in races and owning monsters, vehicles, or tracks at the same time. In the game, players need to build a team of monsters and race them to unlock special abilities, character upgrades, new vehicles, and more. You can also breed monsters together to create the ultimate powerful monster that will have combined performance traits of its parents. The monsters are tradable NFTs, and each is unique in terms of stats and looks. The play-to-earn mode of the game involves a ranked tournament in which the top 3 players are rewarded while the remaining players receive comparatively smaller rewards for participating.

The primary focus of the developers is to make the game more enjoyable, unlike blockchain games that focus more on earning money. Gameplay comes first, then comes blockchain! A player’s skills and strategy matter when winning a Monster Racing League race. If you are good at playing, you will win rewards. The game offers numerous monster NFTs, vehicles, and tracks, so the winning factor depends on how a player strategizes. There are multiple ways to win the game, like completing special events and tournaments, breeding/selling monsters, performing well in races, or collecting royalties for owning a track.

The game runs on the Polygon network due to its fast and low-cost infrastructure. It has a dual token economy consisting of two ERC-20 tokens, Knucklebones Token (KBT) and Phat Loot Token (PLT), the utility token and governance token of Monster Racing League, respectively.
