GunStar Metaverse is a play-to-earn 2D turn-based artillery game that is on the Binance Smart Chain network. Players are placed on a battlefield where the player and the opponent take turns to strike each other with attacks and skills using their pets. Players can participate in several different PvE and PvP game modes and earn various rewards. The game utilizes two kinds of in-game currencies; GST token and GSC token.
In GunStar Metaverse, there are two opposing sides in a fight. Players are placed on one side, and the opponents can be an AI monster or a player. The arena they fight in can provide different advantages and disadvantages depending on the terrain and weather conditions such as storms and winds. They take turns attacking with their pets and using skills in a round. Each pet the player owns has two unique skills which are normal and ultimate skills. There are twenty-three types of pets that are divided in rarities from common to rarest; normal, rare, elite, legendary, and ascended. Players can collect pet fragments from encounters, if they have enough gathered, they can merge a new pet from them. Pets can also be rented through the in-game marketplace.
Besides pets, players can utilize different items to achieve various effects. Some items teleport the player, heal their pet, allow them to fire twice in a round or to fire a stronger shot, or even lock opponents’ items for two turns. Each win provides experience for the character, which will strengthen the character.
There are four game modes present: two PvE and two PvP modes. The campaign is a single-player experience, while Raid Bosses provide a co-op one. The arena is the multiplayer mode where players can participate both as solo or as a team. Each fight requires a certain amount of endurance which is called a Ticket. Tickets replenish over time. Campaign mode and raid bosses provide experience, GSC, or a pet fragment drop. Arena modes allow players to be ranked in the solo and team leaderboards. Ranking systems consist of rank levels ranging from intern to master.
GST token is used for staking, governance, exchanging NFT pets, borrowing pets from the marketplace, and buying and selling NFT houses. GST can be gained from the arena and get a ranking on the leaderboard, trading in the marketplace, and join special limited events such as the open beta. GSC token can be used in the fortune wheel for a chance of dropping items, for merging pet fragments into an NFT pet, leveling up pets, buying tickets, paying for house rentals, and transportation. GSC can be gathered from in-game activities such as the campaign, daily quests, boss raids, and arena.
Hello! If you are thinking of giving Gunstar Metaverse a shot, you are in the right place. It is a 2D turn-based artillery battler that incorporates play-to-earn elements and allows you to own NFT items.
From the game’s website, you can click on play and jump right into the game from your browser. The game will ask you to connect your MetaMask wallet and then create a game account. It will send an email to verify your account.
Several main menu elements will be locked until you buy NFT pets.
Once all that is complete, you will find yourself at the main menu, where you can jump right into the campaign mode. I suggest you try the training area first to learn the basics of gameplay, aiming can be tricky at first. The first level is featured on Pearl Island. This island is a good indicator of what’s to come.
You need to complete certain levels to progress further.
If you are not familiar with 2D artillery battlers that are turn-based, you will get quickly accustomed to them. You, the other players, and the AI monsters are placed in a 2D arena for each battle, and you take turns firing at each other. You need to equip a pet before entering a battle.
Each pet has three unique skills; one ultimate skill and two standard skills.
Each skill has a damage range and a delay time. The higher the damage, the higher the skill delay will be. Ultimate skills have the most skill delay, and they can make you lose turns. Damage and delay numbers are randomized within their range.
Amassing a collection of pets will help you earn tokens faster.
You can move, aim, and perform an action on your turn and strategize while waiting for the others. The terrain is fully destructible, this means you will need to take this into consideration when making decisions since every game will have different circumstances.
Aiming can be tricky at first.
Pets are divided into rarities such as; trial, normal, rare, elite, mythic, legendary, and ascended. Rosaging you get at the start is an exception, though, it’s rarity is called trial since you get it for free. Every pet has hit points, defense, attack, critical chance, critical damage, and movement stats, as well as a level. Pets require GSC tokens to level up, which increases their stats. Pets also have energy bars that deplete when you join a battle with them. One bar of energy recovers every four hours.
| Pet Name & Rarity | Passive Skill | Skill 1 (Normal Attack) | Skill 2 (Enhanced Normal Attack) | Skill 3 (Ultimate) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rosaging (Trial) | - | Fires 1 golden egg. | Fires 3 golden eggs. | Fires a golden feather that summons four other feathers upon impact. |
| Bawaving (Elite) | Attack power is increased by 30% when below 30% health | Fires a sound wave. | Fires a sound wave that breaks into a horizontal cone after 1s, dealing damage over an area. | Fires a sound wave that breaks into a vertical cone after 1.5s, dealing three waves of damage over an area. |
| Sniffing (Rare) | Opponents are unable to recover their health | Fires 1 venom ball that can roll. | Fires 3 venom balls that can roll. | Fires 1 bigger venom ball that can roll and explode in a cloud of poison mist dealing poison damage. |
| Horiding (Rare) | Heals itself and all teammates by 10% when it kills an opponent | Fires 4 fireballs that deal extra damage to the terrain. | Fires 6 fireballs that deal extra damage to the terrain. | Fires 10 fireballs that deal extra damage to the terrain. |
| Pifating (Normal) | Increases the movement speed of teammates by 30% | Fires a bullet. | Fires a mini pig that runs for 1.5s in the direction of its landing and explodes upon contact with any enemy. | Fires a mini pig that runs for 1.5s in the direction of its landing, dealing damage to all enemies in the way before exploding. |
| Woruffing (Normal) | Explodes on death, dealing 10% of its total health as damage to all nearby pets | Fires 1 worm shot. | Fires 3 worm shots. | Fires 1 mother worm shot that splits into five smaller worm shots, dealing damage. |
| Radenting (Normal) | 15% chance to swap turns with the opponent | Fires 1 gravity ball. | Fires two gravity balls that pull in nearby enemies before dealing damage. | Fires 1 big gravity ball that deals damage before pushing away nearby enemies. |
You can view each pets’ skills by clicking on them.
You select up to three usable items before going into the battle. You’ll be given a selection of items for starters. You can buy more items using GSC tokens or earn them from progression in the campaign.
| Item | Effect |
|---|---|
| Teleport | Teleport to a location on the map. |
| Goddess’ Drink | Heal 30% of a pet's maximum health. |
| Symbol of Death | Fires your skills twice for one turn. |
| Villainous Elixir | Increases damage output by 30% for one turn. |
| Immunity | Immunity to all damage until your next turn. |
| Miter of the Gnome | Lock the items of an opponent for two turns |
| Shovel | Increases terrain destruction of all skills. |
Your usable items are finite, only use them when necessary.
There are three ways to acquire pets; buying from other players, buying pet eggs from the marketplace, and merging pet fragments. I suggest buying two pets right when you start the game and not trying to level your trial pet. Trial pets are not NFTs and even though they can earn you GSC tokens, these tokens will be locked until you buy at least two NFT pets.
When you start a battle, the first thing you should look for is the mini-map at the bottom right. It shows how the terrain is structured and where the enemies are positioned. You can strategize and position yourself accordingly.
Making sure of using your second skill and ultimate when you are in a safe spot is also crucial since these skills will make you miss one or two turns.
I suggest just using your normal attack and using your higher delay and damage skills to finish off lower health enemies.
Your character will gain experience from winning PvE battles. Each battle won will award ten points. Character level and progression are crucial to getting better pets since if you buy and equip a pet that is higher level than your character, its level will be capped and equalized to your character.
Daily quests give a good amount of GSC tokens.
I bought the two cheapest NFTs from the marketplace to start the game. They were 760 GST each. I recommend buying at least one more to maximize your profits. I was able to earn an average of 200 GSC from a week’s worth of gaming. I used two pets in the campaign, played every day, and completed some daily quests. I had to use my GSC to upgrade my pets in order to progress. There is not much left after only playing for a few hours each day. If you want to break even and withdraw your excess tokens, you will need to invest more time. Also, keep in mind that it takes seven days to withdraw your earned GST tokens.
I hope you enjoyed the guide. Gunstar Metaverse is an enjoyable game for everyone who loves side-scrolling 2D turn-based combat. You should give it a shot if it’s right up your alley. Thanks for reading!
