MechaFightClub – The Upcoming Game
MechaFightClub is an upcoming blockchain-based game powered by AI and NFTs. The players can fight battles in the game by owing “mechabots”. The mechabots are AI-powered and have unique abilities. They even learn new skills and adapt their fighting style. These mechabots are in-game NFTs that live on the Solana Blockchain.
The token of transactions is “nugget” – all in-game buying, selling, and trading will take place via nuggets. They can win rewards in nuggets and later trade them with other currencies on the Solana Blockchain.
The MechaFightClub world takes place in an abandoned alien technological era where rich corporations have taken over and mankind is enslaved.
“The Gamers will soon realize that having ownership of the characters within the game and building a relationship with that character over time is actually a really good thing”
——Rahul Sood, Co-Founder of Irreverent Labs
35,000 users have already registered and their Discord community is growing day by day. Rahul Sood is saying that they haven’t spent a dollar on marketing – all growth is organic.
“For all its lighthearted fun, Irreverent Labs is a deep technology company building advanced tech on top of a futuristic mecha-cockfighting game”
