The Web3 gaming landscape is set to evolve once again with the launch of Arena Boyz on the Flow Blockchain, the latest creation from the team behind Dimension X. This innovative web3 game brings together fully on chain gaming, strategic gameplay, and a competitive battle royale format, offering players an unparalleled gaming experience. Here’s everything you need to know about Arena Boyz.

What is Arena Boyz?

Arena Boyz is a fully on-chain turn-based battle royale game that immerses players in intense combat scenarios. Each player is loaded into a battle pod with other participants, taking turns to grab items and attack opponents, all striving to be the last one standing. The game’s core mechanics are designed to be fair yet challenging, with randomized starting pods ensuring a unique experience every time.

Gameplay Mechanics

Each turn consists of 2 and only 2 choices a player must make; what item to take from the Loot Pool, and which opponent to attack. There are layers of strategy that will eventually go into what item you choose and who you attack, but for now let’s just hit on the basics.

In-Game Items

Loot is a crucial aspect of “Arena Boyz” , with players collecting items from a communal pool and fallen enemies. The types of items available include:

- **Primary Weapons**: Used for attacks, with damage scaling based on a core stat of the Arena Boy.

- **Passives**: Items that provide stat boosts.

- **Consumables**: Items like grenades, medkits, and shields, which must be used upon looting.

When you click on any item, you can read more about what the item does in the top middle of the game screen. Once you have selected an item you want, select the GREEN BUTTON in the bottom of this information panel to go to the attack selection.

Attacking

You must select an opponent to attack from the list of characters in the top right portion of the game. Your character is marked with the badge “YOU” and can not be selected. Select any of the other opponents you wish to attack and then click the RED BUTTON at the bottom of that section to submit your attack for approval on the blockchain.

Once you approve your transaction in your wallet, your LOOT and ATTACK actions will be qued for processing by the blockchain.

Important note: if you DON’T submit an attack, you will not attack in that round.

Other Areas of Note

Character Development

In “Arena Boyz”, there are no predefined character classes. Instead, each character comes with randomized stats and starting equipment, allowing players to build their characters dynamically through loot pickups and combat encounters. This system ensures a fresh and strategic experience in every match.

Battle Royale Format

Players are divided into groups, competing through several rounds. Survivors from each group are then merged for subsequent battles until only one player remains. This format keeps the stakes high and the gameplay thrilling.

What Happens Upon Elimination?

If your Arena Boy is eliminated, they are marked as KIA (Killed in Action). You will need a new Arena Boy to re-enter the fray and seek revenge in subsequent matches.

Awards and Rewards

To enhance the competitive spirit, “Arena Boyz” offers various awards. To prepare for these:

1. **Set Up to Receive Awards**: Ensure your Flow Wallet can accept USDC by adding it via the wallet tab and signing the transaction.

2. **Understand Award Conditions**: Participation doesn’t guarantee awards, which are subject to KYC rules and the game’s terms and conditions. NOTE: not every game will have rewards nor will every player receive a reward.

Security and Caution

Always remember:

- **Never share your private key**. The game developers, Crypthulhu, will never ask for it.

- **Stay secure** by only signing necessary transactions for playing the game and receiving awards.

Conclusion

“Arena Boyz” promises to redefine web3 gaming with its innovative blend of blockchain technology and strategic, turn-based battle royale gameplay. By building on the success of Dimension X, this new title is set to captivate players with its dynamic character development, varied in-game items, and high-stakes combat. Get your Flow Wallet ready, enter the arena, and may the best Arena Boy win!
