Angry Birds Vs Chickey Chik
Rovio debuted the free-to-play ‘Angry Birds Journey’ in certain territories, including the United States, almost a year ago. Gamepay is gearing up to launch its first Play-to-Earn gaming platform, ‘Chickey Chik’ in the coming months. Given that the two games are centered around avian species, we are sure many of you will be curious to know how Chickey Chik and Angry Birds stand out. This article will guide you through that discovery.
Unveiling the reviews of “Angry Birds Journey”
Angry Birds Journey is Rovio’s first slingshot-based Angry Birds game in the last seven years and has lured a lot of comparisons with the original game. Is this a ‘return to form’ for Rovio, with one of its best Android games to date, or is the company still stuck on a gloomy pay-to-win path?
Unfortunately, things aren’t up to par.
While the trailer makes it appear that Angry Birds Journey is a fun continuation of the story arc, Rovio still seems to be insistent on heavy monetization and uneven balancing that drives players to the in-game shop. This means you’ll run into continuous grinding walls that are unfair by design. This is similar to how free-to-play match-3 games work, where luck or money are the only ways to get unstuck. This proves that talent isn’t required, which can be extremely irritating for individuals who want to master games. There are already a slew of complaints on the Play Store regarding this unbalanced balancing, all of which point to Rovio’s avarice. Angry Birds Journey is clearly a revenue grab, which is unsurprising for a modern Rovio title. When the gaming universe is stepping into Play-to-Earn model of gaming, this no incentive-based gaming strategy seems primitive.
Things start off basic and familiar, almost pleasant, and if you approach the game casually, you’ll find it simple to pick up and start playing as you sling birds at structures, making a solid first impression.
But after a while, you’ll run into puzzles you can’t solve, and you’ll notice the game-altering itself to keep you losing, which is terribly lazy on the developer’s part. Since the rebalancing is so obvious, it’s also incredibly deceptive. There are also several currencies and a stamina system, so those who do not pay will have to wait to play. Sure, this is an ordinary day for a free-to-play mobile game, but it’s still unpleasant to see.
So, no, Rovio hasn’t changed their ways, and Angry Birds Journey pales in comparison to the original. We wish this wasn’t true because we loved the original game in the series, but the fun gets in the way of generating the most money possible, and all we have are new endlessly-monetized husks of iconic games. After all, there’s a reason Angry Birds Journey’s in-app purchases may cost up to $99.99 for each item, and it’s not for the player’s advantage. In fact, the majority of payments are made to remove the barriers that Rovio chose to include in this game.
A Ray of Hope through Chickey Chik
Gamepay’s Chickey Chik is a Play to Earn gaming model. P2E is a fairly new concept in gaming, but it’s catching on. Gamers can earn cryptocurrency tokens, which they may then trade for real money on decentralised markets. This multi-language NFT-and DeFi-based gaming platform enables anybody of any age to play and make money.
In Gamepay’s Chickey Chik, players can own rare Chiks. Chickey Chiks are social and delightful creatures that love to be acquired, bred, and be a part of a social empire. The objective is for players to be able to make twice as much as the local minimum wage (for example, in the Philippines) by playing Chickey Chik. Players can use their Chiks to compete against other players, breed better and rarer Chiks, acquire flocks, grow and nurture young Chiks, and construct an empire. These Chiks and a variety of other in-game objects may be digitised and sold as NFTs.
According to sources, there’s a whole economy within the game. Players can win in-game tokens (SILK and CHIKY) that can be used to buy NFTs that they can use to get more tokens or exchange them for currency.
Gamepay’s Chickey Chik is a blockchain-based game that doesn’t require gamers to pay money to obtain in-game assets upfront, nor does it require money to begin playing to harvest benefits and earn money. Chickey Chik’s patented technology fills the gap by developing its own scalable blockchain system with cheap transaction costs.
This is something that is promising compared to the heavy monetization-based gameplay of Angry Birds Journey.
However, the actual user experience is yet to be relished as the game is under development. Nonetheless, the expectations are high as this game is set to redefine the gaming experience, especially in the Avian universe.
Closing Statement
The two games have significant differences as well as some similarities. However, each, being unique in their user experience, has a different vision to offer. As technology is evolving, so must games, and we truly believe that such visionary games with goodwill intensions must be celebrated. Of course, you are free to make your own decision.
