Big Time – Play-to-Earn Crypto NFT Gaming!

With the game Big Time, created by Big Time Studios, a new high-quality decentralized application (dApp) has entered the crypto market. This crypto game is made by developers with many well-known companies on their resumes. From Electronic Arts to Disney and Marvel. The expectations surrounding this game are therefore very high!

The crypto market is a fairly young market and is therefore experiencing significant growth. There are several developers who want to use blockchain technology to create the best dApps, NFTs, blockchains, or cryptocurrencies. So it’s no surprise that there are so many different projects for all these applications. There are thousands of crypto coins, NFTs, and also countless dApps. 

The game is currently (June 2022) in beta, so a perfect time to find out if this game is for you! In this article, you can discover everything about Big Time. We walk you through the team, the NFTs, and various in-game aspects. This way you can still qualify to play the game before the general public has this opportunity. Are you curious how? Then read on!

What is Big Time?

Big Time is a play-to-earn (P2E) game that was founded in 2020 and is built on the Ethereum (ETH) blockchain. After years of development, there was big news at the end of 2021, when the first NFTs appeared on the market. At the beginning of 2022, the time had actually come; the beta version of Big Time can be played!

In the world of Big Time, you can both solo and multiplayer missions and defeat various monsters. By battling these monsters you can earn various items such as cryptocurrencies and NFTs. Especially for a P2E game, Big Time looks very good, but that’s no surprise with the team behind the game (more on this later).

Big Time will most likely be free to play in the future, but for the first half of 2022, only players with a VIP pass could play the game. This VIP pass is an NFT that enthusiasts could buy. At the moment, the game is still in the beta phase, which will ultimately determine whether the game will actually be free-to-play.

Big Time characters 

In the game, you can choose from different characters, each of which has its own characteristics and specialties. Every character contributes to the team, but some aspects can also weigh more when you go out solo. When you start playing Big Time, you will be asked to choose a character.

You can only change this character when you have found a ‘pocket watch’. These can be found by defeating in-game enemies. If you have obtained a pocket watch and you bet it, the progression on your previous character will be saved. So you don’t have to worry that all your progress has been for nothing! But which characters are there exactly?

Time Warrior (Barbarian)

The Time Warrior is a character who can best use his powers on the front line. With his powerful blows and special abilities, this Barbarian can take down an entire enemy army with his unique powers. A character with brute strength, yet good at close-range combat, is a unique combination that many players will appreciate!

Chronomancer (Mage)

Chronomancers are characters that can deal with enemies from a distance. These powerful and magical characters are very suitable when you want to fight a bit more from a distance. This choice for this character is a tactical choice, not suitable for players looking for fast action. When you play Big Time with your friends, this role is a nice addition to the characters who can attack quickly.

Shadowblade (Ninja)

The Shadowblade is compared to a ninja, who sneaks like a shadow, and for good reason. These ninjas are lightning-fast and silently approach the various enemies. In addition, Shadowblades are fast attackers, which is the right class for you if your playstyle is focused on a fast fighting style. Are you looking for a character that dives into battle? Shadowblades are perfect for close combat!

Quantum Fixer (Medic)

The Quantum Fixer can be compared with the views of Johan Cruijff; the attack is the best defense. A Quantum Fixer is described as a Medic, but can also make a difference during a battle with their gadgets. The Fixers allow Chronomancers and Shadowblades to fully utilize their strengths, thanks to the Fixers’ hacking and healing work.

Big Time NFT marketplace

In the game, you can discover two different types of NFTs, namely the so-called cosmetic and utilitarian NFTs. These NFTs can be found in-game by defeating enemies and completing missions. To convert these NFTs into crypto, or to buy NFTs so that you can excel in the game, you can visit Big Time’s NFT marketplace. 

Cosmetic NFTs can be found by defeating enemies in-game or by purchasing them from the marketplace. You can use these NFTs to enhance the appearance of your items. Furthermore, these non-fungible tokens do not affect the performance, they are purely for show. The utilitarian NFTs are a lot more convenient in-game. You can use these unique tokens to repair or upgrade your items. 

Early Access with VIP Passes

The most committed players will be able to play the game earlier than most gamers. Big Time Studios has put several NFTs up for sale, which serves as access cards. In total there are four different types of VIP passes, namely Gold, Silver, Jade, and Ruby. This order is also the order of access. Players with a Gold VIP pass could be the first to play the game and be the first to enjoy the gameplay to hunt for NFTs!

This is also the reason why a lot of players have bought the VIP passes. If you can get into the game early and get your hands on a bunch of NFTs and other in-game items before most players can even play the game at all, you can potentially take advantage of the potential future demand for these scarce NFTs. The VIP passes are for sale on the Big Time marketplace, but you can also purchase them through OpenSea or the Binance marketplace.

Conclusion

Big Time is a new game, which is built on blockchain technology. This game is made by a team that consists of several team members with a lot of experience in reputable companies. As you have been able to discover in this blog, the interest in this game is high and the gameplay looks interesting. There are few games that can arouse the interest of hundreds of thousands of people and also look good.

The nice thing about this game is that you can earn money playing the game, but also wager NFTs to get the most out of the game. The game is currently (June 2022) still in the beta phase, so investing your time and money in this remains a risk. Beginning crypto projects have everything to prove, but with an experienced team, Big Time has an edge over most play-to-earn games.
