Ubisoft, a prominent player in the gaming industry, has entered the Web3 gaming market with a bold move. Its latest title, <a href="https://tingbits.com/game/champions-tactics">"Champions Tactics: Grimoria Chronicles,"</a> is a cutting-edge game powered by blockchain technology. The game will launch on <a href="https://www.oasys.games">Oasys,</a> a blockchain network known for its seamless scalability, robust security, and gas-free transactions. The official announcement was made at Oasys' Kyoto special event.

Ubisoft also released a <a hrefteaser ="https://youtu.be/sKPixIolnYw

Champions Tactics: Grimoria Chronicles is set to be a player-versus-player (PVP) tactical team-based and role-playing game (RPG). It will solely be designed for PC. The game requires players to form a group of legendary Champions. They will delve into the captivating narratives that unfold within the mysterious realm of Grimoria.

The game is still in the developmental stages. For now, Ubisoft revealed that there will be a free drop launch. Although details regarding the blockchain features of the game have not been disclosed, it is anticipated that the champions will serve as collectible NFTs in some capacity.

Ubisoft is a renowned French gaming publisher. It is known for developing and producing highly acclaimed titles such as Assassin's Creed, Just Dance, and Far Cry. While Ubisoft's recent entry into web3 gaming marks a significant milestone, it is not the first time the studio has sought to make its mark in the industry.

One of its endeavors was Project Q, but unfortunately, it had to be discontinued due to the decline in popularity. However, the studio has remained dedicated to exploring the web3 space. It has established partnerships and delved into blockchain gaming. Recently, the studio launched the Rabbids NFT characters in The Sandbox, an Ethereum metaverse game.

As Ubisoft embarks on this exciting new venture, gaming and crypto enthusiasts eagerly anticipate more updates and announcements regarding the game. This new title has the potential to revolutionize the genre and provide players with a truly unique gaming experience.

Launched by PancakeSwap and Mobox, we can look forward to a free-to-play experience that uses PancakeSwap’s CAKE tokens as rewards. This game promises hours of fun and strategy, with plenty of opportunities to earn rewards while playing.

The game has amazing 3D cartoon graphics. You will be transported to a world full of humanoid characters and wide-ranging landscapes. It will challenge your strategic skills as yo position your team of stationary heroes on maps and determine when and where to use their power-up attacks. But do not worry, with the right team of heroes, you will be able to defend your Base Camp from any enemy attack.

With Pancake Protectors, you will want to be at the top of your game during the 14-day Season Settlement period. The competition is fierce, but the rewards are even greater with up to <a href="https://www.coinspeaker.com/pancake-protectors-play-to-earn-pancakeswap/amp/">10,000</a> CAKE tokens for the top players. You can spend CAKE tokens to enhance your gameplay and purchase NFTs to gain even more advantages over your opponents.

In this game, you are the Commander of Pancake Main City, and you have the power to summon heroes from four different factions: Sun, Storm, Star, and Light. Your mission is to protect the city from its enemies. You will receive free heroes everyday and can recruit more heroes by earning recruitment cards from the Daily Quests, or Stores. Alternatively, you can use CAKE to purchase Gold to recruit heroes. You can also trade heroes to get better heroes suited to your team.

The beauty of this game is that anyone can enjoy it, especially those who love strategy and tower-defense games.

3. You can go right to 'Chapter' to access the main Tower Defense Level progression gameplay and work on winning daily rewards. The gameplay in each ‘Chapter’ battle is focused on one clear objective: protecting the base camp located at one end of the map. But fear not!

If your Base Camp loses all its lives due to enemy attacks, you lose the battle.

Participating in the <a href="https://blog.pancakeswap.finance/articles/pancake-protectors-is-here-discover-the-power-of-cake-and-perks-for-pancake-squads-and-bunnies">seasonal lottery</a> requires obtaining lottery tickets, which can be unlocked through various in-game activities.

Advanced lottery ticket holders experience higher odds of winning these epic prizes, marking each season as a new expedition to embark on.

<h2>Tips for Playing</h2>

To succeed and win in the game, it is important to understand the game mechanics and devise a winning strategy. Putting together a well-balanced team will help you win battles and earn more rewards. When it comes to protecting your base, being mindful about choosing the right heroes and positioning them effectively on the board can make all the difference. Personally, I like putting my most powerful heroes on the front lines.

If you want to be one of the top players on the Hero Chart Consumption Ranking Board, you must win Arena Challenges. This will award you 'Arena Stars' and raise your position on these leaderboards, as well as hero points to expand your hero collection.

Spending CAKE tokens is a great way to increase your chances of winning. CAKE tokens have different benefits and utilities in the game. You can unlock additional levels for greater rewards, claim game heroes, and stake your tokens to acquire even more assets in the game.

You may become a force to be reckoned with in any challenge or battle by constantly upgrading your heroes. It will be great to see how powerful they become as you invest time and resources into them. With every upgrade, your heroes will be capable of achieving greater feats and taking on even stronger opponents. Additionally, the Seasonal Competition is also an excellent way to earn prizes and heroes.

<h2>Conclusion</h2>

If you are considering giving Pancake Protectors a try, let me share what I love about this game. First, the tutorial is incredibly helpful in explaining gameplay mechanics. Plus, with a free-to-play version, anyone can join in on the fun without any upfront costs. The graphics and stunning landscapes are also great, making for an immersive experience.

You can always enhance and promote your heroes as you move through the game. It is quite satisfying to watch them become stronger over time. If you want to take things to the next level, buying enhancements or NFTs with CAKE tokens can give you a valuable edge in gameplay and help you climb the ranks faster.

As with any game, there are certainly some downsides. Purchasing CAKE for upgrades and NFTs can get pricey. But even without these extras, Pancake Protectors is still worth giving a shot.

Dive into a tower defense journey, enjoy seasonal rewards, and rise to heroic heights!
