Overall, each game in Matr1x offers its own unique content for players. Matr1x War and Matr1x Evolution are still in the development stage and have not yet set a launch date, while Matr1x Fire is expected to be released in 2024. During the 20-day Alpha test in August 2023, Matr1x Fire had more than 200,000 registered users and more than 100,000 downloads, the average number of daily active players reached 15,000. Even though it’s just an Alpha test, Matr1x Fire has achieved the numbers that any GameFi game wants to achieve and I will introduce Matr1x Fire in detail in the next section.
Matr1x development team
Matr1x’s development team includes many developers with experience working at large Gaming companies as well as OGs with many years of experience in the Crypto market. Therefore, the games on Matr1x promise to have a harmonious combination between the gameplay of Web2 games and the outstanding Finance element of Web3 games.
Matr1x Fire – Choosing a Race Track Makes a Difference
Gameplay is of comparable quality to Web2 games
Matr1x Fire is the first mobile first-person shooting game introduced by Matr1x. Unlike some complex games in the Web3 market, Matr1x Fire offers a simple yet engaging gameplay mechanism.
Relying on the instinct to tap the screen to shoot, everything is very simple and intuitive. But beyond simplicity, if you want to win the game, players need to use accurate shooting skills, strategic thinking and teamwork to win.
In addition to bringing diversity in the game, Matr1x Fire introduces many different game modes in the game such as:
- PvP mode: This is considered the classic mode in the game where players will be divided into 2 teams to fight many rounds on the map and the team that completes the mission first will win. Players can also participate in various tournament modes that will be introduced in the first version of the game.
- Battle Royale mode: With this mode, players will explore and adventure with dozens of other players, choose a landing spot, search for items, survive and become the last surviving team.
- PvE game modes: Players will participate in battles with machines programmed with AI.
In addition to diverse game modes, Matr1x Fire also offers many types of guns with many different skins encoded as NFTs in the game. According to Matr1x Fire, there are more than 30 different weapons in the game and each weapon will have a corresponding skin set divided into different rarity levels. In addition to gun skins, characters, game avatars, and titles will also be created as NFTs.
In-game economy: Innovative Dual Token mechanism
The Dual Token mechanism was considered unsuccessful for many games in the past because the inflation mechanism gradually killed the game over time. There will be two types of tokens in the game including:
- Token MAX: Is the governance token not only in Matr1x Fire but in all other games in Matr1x’s ecosystem. Users can lock MAX to receive ve-MAX and the longer the lock time, the greater the amount of ve-MAX received. For ve-MAX will be used as voting rights in Esport tournaments, revenue allocation from Vault, platform operation and community voting, the right to participate in tournaments and buy and sell NFTs on NFT Marketplace of Matr1x.
- FIRE tokens: Matr1x Fire in-game tokens. Fire tokens are used around the economy in Matr1x Fire such as upgrading Avatars, opening boxes and rewarding players who own Matr1x Fire Avatar NFTs while playing the game.
Through this we can see the innovative Dual Token mechanism that Matr1x brings when the MAX token is considered a governance token widely used throughout the games in Matr1x’s ecosystem. Each game in Matr1x’s ecosystem can issue its own tokens such as Matr1x Fire with FIRE tokens that will be used around its game. This gives flexibility for games to build and develop on Matr1x.
As for the inflation problem of the FIRE token, Matr1x Fire has an ingenious way to handle it. In addition to creating many use cases in the game, it only rewards players who own Matr1x Fire Avatar NFT with a fixed amount. If so, the inflation rate will be controlled.
Looking towards e-sports as a stepping stone to breakthrough
Unlike most other games in the GameFi market, the first audience that Matr1x Fire targets is not only ordinary users but also professional gamers. During the 20-day Alpha test in August 2023, Matr1x Fire organized an Esport tournament in which the core were former professional esports players and the tournament was very successful. At one point, it attracted up to 110,000 viewers.
In addition to organizing tournaments and events, according to the Matr1x Fire roadmap, it also intends to form a complete layout for teams, players and fans by combining highlights of web3 titles. are tokens and NFTs.
For example: Each club will be eligible to participate in tournaments by locking MAX. The winner of each tournament will share in event revenue and receive exclusive NFTs. Fans can trade these exclusive NFTs on Matr1x’s NFT Marketplaces and clubs will receive a direct revenue share from the NFT sales.
Building Web3 Culture: More Than Just a Game
While Matr1x Fire is a competitive mobile shooting game, the team behind the game Matr1x has ambitions that go beyond developing products for a single game. Many studios only develop games according to the one-shot model and try to recover capital as quickly as possible. After recovering capital, they use the existing model and code to redo the interface for the next game. Different from this model, Matr1x chooses long-term development around a fixed IP.
Matr1x positions itself as a comprehensive entertainment platform that integrates games, NFTs and IP to explore the integration possibilities of the above three categories. In other words, Matr1x Fire is just part of the grand strategy that Matr1x is developing.
In addition, Matr1x also encourages the community to participate in writing interesting stories surrounding the world of Matr1x and through voting to find the most interesting content. The system will reward creators in the community with exclusive MAX tokens and NFTs, and these content and content creators will be included on the official website.
summary
Matr1x takes a completely groundbreaking development direction that no game has ever done in the past. Up to now, this strategy is considered somewhat successful and has received a lot of attention from the community. Above is all I want to introduce to everyone about Matr1x, hope everyone understands what Matr1x is?.
