What is Ignition Arena?
Ignition Arena is a top-down, 2D spaceship arena battling game. Ignition Arena features intense combat and intricate ship-building mechanics. Set in a futuristic arena where players become gladiators in space, the game challenges your strategic skills and reflexes as you fight for supremacy in the galaxy.
Is Ignition Arena Free?
Yes! Ignition Arena is free to play and will be available soon on Epic Games store and Steam, Q4 2024.
Will I need an NFT to play the game?
No. The game can be played independently of any Web3 systems like NFT collectibles!
When will the first NFT Collection Mint be?
We're planning on releasing our first NFT collection in mid-Q3 2024, right before our Beta playtest. This is dependent on community size. We want the timing of this to be right for the community and the project so we can have a successful future together.
What benefits does owning an Ignition Arena NFT give me?
NFT holders will have access to raffles for other NFT assets, Closed Beta slots, and special collection mint whitelists. Also, unique opportunities to play the game with the devs.
Elevated discord chats for more integrated discussion with the developers. NFT ownership functionally acts as a deluxe web3 version of the game, with unique mechanics described below. This includes early access to the Ignition Arena. Ignition Arena Ship NFTs will give Web3 players immediate access to the ship's components and paint schemes in the game, including some NFT-exclusive paint jobs. NFT holders will have access to exclusive matchmaking queues in the game, offering unique Web3 rewards.
What Blockchain will Ignition Arena be on?
We haven't decided yet! We want to build a community and see which chain fits our vision and our community the best. Prime candidates are Cardano, Avalanche, and Polygon.
Is this game pay to win? Do NFTs make it easier to win?
No! All players will be able to play and unlock the components needed to be competitive. We specifically want to combat pay to win, so we've designed the game with a unique queue system in mind. There will be different queue phases that players will unlock access to as they progress through the game. These phases in order are "Scrap", "Steel", "Alloy" and "X/Advanced". Each phase represents a different technology level within the arena and has their own components that need to be unlocked. All of NFT collection 1 will be targeting the Steel phase. This means that NFT players will have access to Steel queues and equipment earlier than regular players, but will still need to play through Scrap to unlock those components, along with the later Alloy and X/Advanced queues. Web3 players will also have access to a few NFT specific queues balanced for NFT ships rather than web2 ships. Outside of this system, all web3 or web2 purchases will provide unique ship appearances.
