It has been three weeks since my first post where I played Gods Unchained for the first time. Since then, I didn't get so much time to play due to my heavy blockchain gaming schedule. Being a gamer OG and playing games since the ZX Spectrum 48K days, my addiction has flourished since then.
Back then as an 8-year-old or thereabouts, we were prepared to wait 30 minutes for a game to load so we could spin around the pixelised tracks and boards with the Z, X, and C keys. At the time, this was the latest technology with cassette tapes to load the data. The loading sounds will forever be imprinted in my mind.
Fast forward nearly 30 years and we are thankfully past that, but the amount of time we spend on games is important in the play2earn arena because "time is money!". Playing for free is web2, who does that?
In Gods Unchained, you need to play at least 10 matches per day for daily play and earn rewards. If you are hoping to load up, play your games very quickly and cash out, in the words of Charlie Murphy, that would be "Wrong!". You also may not want to, as the game is quite a lot of fun.
The first step is to connect the game to a wallet. Here I decided to use my brave wallet.
Once connected, it will look like the above.
To start playing the ranked matches, you need to go to the arena and select your deck as I have indicated above.
You will then get given a choice of different decks to choose from.
You then need to select your GOD power, I chose magic.
The next step is quite important because it allows you to swap some of your first cards in case they are crap and give you a better start in the game. So far as I understand it, it is good to start with some good attacking cards and/or "frontline" cards. The frontline cards are critical to protecting your god from being attacked, a sort of barrier so to speak.
The game starts by dragging one of your cards into your game area as indicated. Important to know is that you cannot drag a card mana value higher than your available mana as shown in the bottom right corner.
Hovering over a card will show you the type of card and its abilities.
My opponent also throws their own cards down to do battle with you. You need to wait while your opponent makes their move. There is a timer that counts down so they cannot take all the time in the world.
Even though I wasn't sure what I was doing here, I managed to pull off my first victory.
The timer ticks down towards the end turn button so you need to not hang around too long to make your moves.
As expected, the more victories you get, the more you can earn.
I also won my first packs and could do my first openings.
All in all, it took me over an hour to play around 5 of the required 10 games. That is at least 12 minutes per match. In the end, I won 0,061 GODS and this was worth €0,02 for around one hour of play. I managed to only win 1 of my first 5 games, so this could increase in the future.
Just now whilst writing this article, I played another round and managed a win of 0,071 GODS which is worth €0,02 too! That was for around 13 minutes of playing.
At the moment I am not able to dedicate 2 hours daily to Gods Unchained for 10 matches, even though it is quite fun, but will try and get 1 or 2 games in and see what the earnings are like. Currently, the ROI% seems quite low, so I hope this is just the beginning and there could be larger returns to be had.
I will keep you updated on my Gods Unchained journey.
Thanks for reading.
