Feeling like a Pokémon Trainer, we recently stumbled upon OnChaMon, a creature collector game that caught our attention on X (Twitter). As a pure play-to-earn (P2E) game in the web3 ecosystem, it offers a unique experience compared to the dominant free-to-play games. Let's dive into what OnChaMon has to offer.

What is OnChaMon?

OnChaMon is a browser-based creature collector game where players can own and train monsters. Developed on the BNB Chain, OpBNB Chain, and Kardia Chain, it is not free-to-play. Players need to spend the game's token, $DPET, which might deter some, as it requires investment before trying the game. Currently, OnChaMon is in its beta phase.

Monsters and How to Get One

Monsters in OnChaMon come in four basic elements: fire, water, wind, and earth. Players can form teams of monsters using synergies between these elements. To acquire monsters, players engage in the "Eggventure" phase, where they spend $DPET to obtain an Oncha Egg. Once the egg is acquired, it can be hatched in the Egg Hatchery page, revealing the monster inside, which can then be trained.

Training Your Monster and Becoming Stronger

In OnChaMon, monsters are trained in the training ground section, which also requires spending tokens. Training is essential for rising in the ranks and winning matches. Enhancement stones, used to elevate the stats of your monsters, are also necessary for further evolution—a feature most creature collectors look for.

OnChaMon Gameplay and Modes

Players form teams of three monsters (Onchamon) to participate in various game modes. These modes require a token fee for entry, contributing to the prize pool. The battles can be either automatic or player-controlled, with the current game mode being Raid Boss, where players deploy their monsters to defeat a large boss.

Game Modes:

• Raid Boss: Players challenge a large boss in a season and must defeat it.

• PVP: Player versus player mode pits two players against each other.

• Monster Hunter: Players battle non-player controlled monsters to gain additional monsters.

Integration of Other NFTs

OnChaMon also integrates other NFTs from different projects into the game. Recently, an NFT from the Bored Ape Yacht collection was featured as a Raid Boss, showcasing the game's diversity and potential for more integrations.

Overall Thoughts

Playing OnChaMon feels reminiscent of the web2 game Dragon City, where you train and evolve dragons. The battles in OnChaMon are fast-paced and somewhat idle, with more detailed PvP information to be released soon. The variety of monsters already available allows for strategic team formation.

Although the game involves a lot of clicking and waiting, OnChaMon continues to add features and modes, such as the recent Exploration and Arcane Gateway. Exploration allows for NFT and token staking to gain enhancement stones, while Arcane Gateway focuses on enhancing monsters.

One area for improvement is the introduction of a free-to-play option, enabling potential players to try the game before committing to spending tokens.

Conclusion

OnChaMon is a pure P2E game that offers a creature collecting and battling experience. While it requires $DPET for most actions and might not suit those seeking a highly engaging and action-packed game, it provides a rewarding system for those who enjoy strategic training and earning. If you're looking for a straightforward creature collector game with earning potential, OnChaMon is worth checking out.
