NFT's Quick Intro
NFT stands for ‘Non-Fungible Token,’ ever heard of it before? Well, very few things in life are fungible, your dog, your sandwich, your neighbor, your sneakers are all non-fungible. There are also many things like bills, shares, and grain that seem fungible, but if you carefully examine them, they are not. We have all socially decided to treat them as fungible though. So, what you need to know is that non-Fungible indicates the uniqueness of the Token. But where is the Art? What Art? NFTs are TOKENS, and tokens can represent anything. In our case, it’s in-game assets, which is art if you think about it. The technology is used because in the game, you will own everything you have, and to know what is yours, everything needs to be unique, enter NFTs.

CryptoTanks and Battle City Connection
How is CryptoTanks similar to Battle City? Well, the core mechanics are similar. A player is free to choose from dozens of CryptoTanks and face opponents in the Battle Area. But this isn’t just a revival, as many new features will make this game much more sophisticated. To start, besides the DeFi aspect that’s obvious, every Tank NFT will have its modification of armor, weapons, speed, and complete customization. These aren’t cosmetic features, as varying stats will lead to different gameplay styles for each player. Later in the game, we will launch features such as missions and player bases. Missions refer to a reward in the middle of the Map that will contain $TANKS, or upgrades that a player can claim even if they lose the overall game. Player bases will be protected boxes that each player will have, and if it gets captured, the player loses. A lot more is on the way with never seen before gameplay that will keep you on edge and make the game much more unpredictable! Read on and learn how to start playing!

How To Get Your First TANK NFT
CryptoTanks offers users several options for acquiring an NFT, and they all go through the official website:
- Also, an NTF can be purchased from other users through the p2p marketplace.
- Option 3, if you are not too sure about it, rent a tank on the marketplace.
You will encounter only one token and that is $TANK. $TANK token can be found in DEX/CEX exchanges and added to liquidity pools as it is an ERC-20 token. You can stake your TANK tokens and earn either more TANK tokens or LP tokens earned from the liquidity you add to the TANK/ETH pool on DEXs. Once you get your $TANK tokens, you can use them in the Shop to buy more Cryptotanks and expand your collection.
So, to jump into the thick of battle and start smashing enemies, go to your profile (or Garage) on the website, create an account for the application - enter your email, and create a password. You are free to download the application from the official website by choosing the appropriate platform (macOS, Windows, or Android) and starting the game.
Gameplay
The CryptoTanks game offers varied gameplay, rewards, and game modes. There are three different battle types based on their rewards.
- Rating Battles: You can gain combat experience points which you can use in leveling up your Tank. This is your opportunity to test new tactics, a few tricks and get familiar with maps and their obstacles. Have you leveled up? Now it’s time to earn some Tokens so you can buy the upgrades you unlocked with $TANK.
- Token Battles: Not skilled enough yet? Here, you can practice even more while also earning $TANK tokens, when you have enough, you can equip your Tank with the upgrades you bought.
- Money Battle: Feel confident? Here is your time to shine. Form a prize pool by depositing Tokens with other players in a winner takes all game.
CryptoTanks is suitable for both teams and single players. There are two main game modes:
- One against All - Last survivor wins, all enemies must be destroyed.
- Teamplay - Team versus Team, two teams take part.
So, you either play solo or with your group of friends, have fun both ways!
Your CryptoTank
Each Tank is a collectible NFT token with its own unique characteristics. Some are for the looks, like Country (you can play currently with USA, Russia, China, and Germany), but most affect your gameplay like Chassis (Speed), Gun (Firepower), Armor (Protection). You can choose the combination that matches your skill. Later, there will be other features that complicate the choice of a Tank. There are three rarities Common, Rare, Legendary. Rarity changes the color of your Tank but also gives them different battle stats, with Legendary having the best ones, of course. Tanks will also have generations. For example, the first generation will total 5000 Common, 2000 Rare, 500 Legendary Tank NFTs. Those Tanks will be superior to the Tanks of future generations. So, hop on early and get rewarded for it in the future.
Maps and Game Objects
Several Maps already exist. Each of them is created for a specific game style: a defense game, a hide-and-seek game, a game on “islands,” and an open game. Discover which game style suits you best and master every Map. Each one will include a particular pattern of obstacles and landscape. Keep in mind those obstacles as there are six different categories. Specifically, there are passable, impassable, destructible, indestructible, temporarily non-destructible, and projectiles (which means that only projectiles can pass through this field). You need to be careful though! Obstacles in the same category don’t mean they are the same or that you can treat them as such. If you do, that will lead to your doom! Hop on to the description of game obstacles to find out more about each one.
The Future
Cryptotanks has an extensive roadmap ahead and a team willing and capable to see it through, as they are fans of the game themselves. Map NFTs are already on the way. Many features discussed in previous sections of the intro and more are also scheduled for the future, so you can expect more changes in Tank characteristics and game modes.
DeFi Mechanics
CryptoTanks offers multiple ways to earn:
- Play and earn $TANK tokens, which you can of course, sell.
- Upgrade your Tanks NFT with Tokens and sell it for a profit on the CryptoTanks marketplace.
- Buy tanks and rent them out to other players if your collection is too big for you to play alone.
- Buy TANKS tokens and stake them to earn $TANK tokens.
To recap, earn $TANK, stake and earn $TANK, rent, upgrade and sell. You can choose one of the four ways to earn or all of them!
