Clash of Streamers is a free-to-play mobile strategy video game developed and published by the Singularity Group. The game is expected to be released for iOS platforms and on Google Play for Android on the first half of 2019.[2]
A beta version of the game is already available on Google Play for Android for a selected few (for the purposes of beta testing).[3][4]
Gameplay
editClash of Streamers is an online multiplayer game centered around collecting and upgrading streamers, and fighting other players in exchange for in-game rewards.[5] The game is heavily integrated with the streaming platform, Twitch.tv.
Twitch integration
The game can be streamed directly from a phone. Players are rewarded daily in-game rewards for broadcasting themselves, and rewarded for watching other streamers. There is even an in-game Twitch chat, that allows users to interact with their community without closing the app. Donations, subscribers and followers will also pop up on the stream, so users never miss anything.[6]
Official Twitch partners can supply their community with different in-game skins, so players can show their allegiance to their favorite streamer, and join them in combat against other communities. The skin is a badge of loyalty, and provides additional combat stats that makes players stronger in combat. Players can also support their favorite streamer by buying exclusive skins, because all the revenue goes directly to the streamer.
Streamers
Streamers, also known as heroes, are in-game collectibles that can be used to wage war against players and NPCs. While streamers are real people from Twitch.tv, they also represent in-game characters that players can collect and use in battle to pursue glory and wealth. Players can increase their stat-attributes, upgrade their levels, or supply them with additional stars to increase their strength. When streamers are created, they are for better or worse appointed one of five archetypal classes that determine their play-style and abilities. Streamers are also born into different factions that bind them together with other streamers, and when they fight together, they gain a morale boost that increases their strength on the front-lines of war.[7]
Official Twitch Partners can upload their faces to the game via the Gaming for Good platform. [5] Players can acquire these skins in a number of ways, and customize their streamers with them.[8] It allows players to represent and fight alongside their favorite streamers in combat.[9]
Streamers are also central to game’s blockchain integration because players can trade them like traditional collectibles or commodities for cryptocurrencies.[10]
Pets
Pets are adorable in-game collectibles. They provide a range of passive abilities that amplify combat-related effects and increase aspects outside of combat such as casino odds, match-3 odds, cost reductions and many more. Equipped with only levels and stars, they unlock a pet-ability every time they level up. Meanwhile, their stars increase the effects of their passive abilities, making them stronger. Upon creation, pets can also be assigned to one of six factions which influence their utility and pool of abilities, and with whom they can breed.[11]
Pets are bought, hatched, collected and bred. Traded like traditional commodities, players can buy them and even rent them in Blockchain Heroes. In Geopet GO, players can hatch them by collecting eggs from hatcheries. Players can also encounter and collect pets in the real world. Lastly, players can breed them in Match-3 Pets.[7]
Blockchain integration
The game is integrated with blockchain functionality, and allows players to buy, sell and trade heroes on a marketplace in exchange for cryptocurrency. The game interacts with the Ethereum Blockchain. The primary payment option is the ERC20 token, DUBI. Players must create a cryptocurrency wallet within the game before they're able to unlock the features mentioned above.[7]
To trade or rent, players must pay a small amount of Crypton to export their streamers and pets to the blockchain. This enables in-game trading as well as allowing players to trade them like crypto collectibles or digital property independently of the game via the Ethereum network.
Blockchain Heroes also includes a range of functionalities including a mailbox and upgrade mechanics. Players can send exported streamers and pets to each other via the mailbox, and reinforce their streamers and pets by upgrading them or empowering them with DUBI.
Development and release
editClash of Streamers is being developed using Unity game engine. Development started in 2017 propelled by the growing popularity of mobile games, more specifically, the Gacha game model. The game was announced to be released until the end of 2018 but the lack of approval from Apple to upload the game to the App Store led developers to postpone it to 2019.
