Not to mention their social media channels, with more than 60k followers on Twitter, and over 80k members on Telegram, this clearly has attracted lots of attention proven by growing community of small investors. They also do a very good job of marketing and promotion, as it was taken advantage from the success of their 4 others non-blockchain related games.

About the team

BeeMob is behind the project with over 10 persons team, published transparently on whitepaper. The senior leaders with years of experience in game design, programming and financial but they don’t seem to have some experience about blockchain or cryptocurrency.

How the game works

Campaign mode

Players are divided into 4 ranks depending on the number and level of the Cybers. Everyday, players entering the PvE matches have a maximum of wins, each win will receive a certain amount of reward, players who lost the fight can replay without losing a turn. The maximum number of victories depends on the player’s rank.

Rewards (mIDLE and Boost items) are affected by 3 factors: Base reward, Current level and Health Points Left, players can receive a maximum of 500 mIDLE and 10 Boost items per day, some levels will have bonus reward and do not count towards PvE reward limit.

The number of PvE matches will be reset at 09:00 (GMT+7)

Arena

Players are divided into 4 ranks, these ranks are different from the Campaign ranking, depending on the number of Tier-6 Cybers players own. Every day, players have 10 free fights, the extra fights will cost 50 mIDLE each, the maximum number of fights depends on the player’s ranking. Each Death Match has a 10 minute waiting time, players can choose 1 of 3 opponents with lower, higher or equal Action Points (AP) to the player’s Cybers. The rival can be switched with an additional fee.

Each fight will take about 2 minutes, if the match cannot be determined, the system will calculate the number of surviving Cybers, the ratio of total Health Points to elect the winner. If both rivals have the same result, the player who has the small ID will claim the victory.

Players will receive maximum 1000/2000/3000/4000/5000…/10000 mIDLE everyday with Player with corresponding level 1/20/30/40/50…/100

Grand Arena

Everyday players have 1 free hit. Each extra turn will cost 100 mIDLE without limit extra hits. Regardless of winning or losing, each time the user clicks to enter a battle, 1 turn will be deducted.

There will be a 1 minute waiting time between each Grand Arena match. Each turn shows 3 opponents with lower Action Point (-5%), approximately (-5~5%) or higher (5%). Players can choose to fight any 1 of these 3 opponents. The opponent’s information includes Action Points and Leadership Points (LP of all 3 opponent’s lineups). Players can refresh to change the opponent list with an additional fee. Each fight will take about 2 minutes, if the match cannot be determined, the system will calculate the number of surviving Cybers, the ratio of total HP to elect the winner. If both rivals have the same result, the player who has the small ID will claim the victory.

The mIDLE reward received is unlimited and will be claimed at the end of every season. Each season lasts 4 weeks

Mechanic system

The gameplay depends on what strategies you choose to apply and that also based on classes of heroes, elements, quality ranging from C-SS, Stats, and upgrade.

There are 5 classes: bastion, assassin, marksman, techie, netrunner.

There are 6 elements: nature, machine, hacker, missionary, fallen, chemistry with all counter each others, except missionary and chemistry.

The game includes 5 basic stats as many other games: DMG (physical+skills), HP, Basic attack(physical), crit rate, crit dmg.

Players can also upgrade your heroes to higher levels.

There’s also gear list and Cyber list

Point of View

First of all, the game is very easy to learn, so players can try the free non blockchain version of its online called Cyber War, that variation is relative same with the upcoming Idle Cyber. Because both are developed by the same team and they have years of experience with also 4 others game in the market. So, to worry about the gameplay experience is redundant and unnecessary.

Secondly, there are big investors backing them offering advice on blockchain economy and development strategies in this market. This can be considered the entrance to the crypto world of a very competent game developer firm. So players can expect the potential of the game, or maybe even more games from this firm in the near future.

While it is also bridging the gap between NFT games and crypto-heads, Idle Cyber is working hard to achieve its stated roadmap for 2022. According to a recent study, 11% of participants aged 18 to 34 years old spent a percentage of their stimulus paychecks on cryptocurrencies.

Thirdly, as seeing from the whitepaper, the project leaves 30% of their token which is 237,000,000 for in-game reward. So far this is the highest reward a game can offer to its players, this shows the care for the Idle Cyber gaming community, as they want them to continue participate in the game to “mine” as many tokens as possible. This also signifies the hidden plans for the future, because logically speaking, big in-game rewards mean they want people to stay with the game longer so they can release more functions in the future. The proof is in the roadmap as they include PVP PVE, boss and duel modes in 2022. This is very exciting to see what features might be added beyond that point for the game.

After all, Idle Cyber is a very good fit for players who want to try the new taste of “nft cuisine” after a while. The game is the latest trend of Gamefi in 2021, what might be ahead is unknown but realistically, this will continue its growth and attract many players through detail-oriented artworks as well as huge in game rewards.
