The alarm blares as you rush out of the bank, gun drawn and bandana covering your face as you search frantically for your horse. You left it tied up at the hitching post, but it has vanished, and it was your only escape. Now you’re on foot, and startled passersby are shouting, pointing at you and yelling for the sheriff, who comes running out of the police station. Heart racing, you take off, dodging bullets, and charge into a deserted saloon, where you barricade the door just in time. You knock out a pane of glass in the window, poke your gun through it, and fire at anything that moves. With a sinking heart, however, you realize that the sheriff has been joined by five of his deputies, and you are both outmanned and outgunned. You settle in for what will be your wildest firefight in the new game GRIT. You just pray you won’t run out of ammo…
GRIT by Gala Games is the inaugural blockchain game to appear on the Epic Games Store. The game has Web3 aspects of decentralization, player ownership, and reward economies to allow gamers to experience the Wild West in a creative and fun new way. With breathtaking gun battles, innovative action, and creative storytelling, the ride-or-die battle royale game lets players take on the third-person role of a gunslinger, saddle up, and prove they are the fastest guns in the West.
GRIT allows you to play alone, with a teammate, or with a squad. Its innovation then shows with the Gunslinger Box, presenting 10,000 possibilities for your GRIT avatar. With a Generative Hero NFT, you can play an entirely unique character you actually own, customizing their style however you like. You will also choose from twenty weapons to arm yourself with, which will come in handy since your opponents in the Wild West will be dangerous.
Once you are in character and have your pistol, it’s time to go find trouble. Don’t worry – in GRIT, it will find you very quickly. Be careful who you sit down next to when you get a drink at the local saloon – he could be part of the local gang and the unpleasant type. You may be walking down the street, having a nice chat with the mayor, and your worst enemy suddenly turns up, ready to settle old scores and have an old-fashioned shootout right there in the middle of the street. To make survival even harder, GRIT has innovated a day-night cycle that provides a tactical challenge for you when you are trying to escape a gang of gunslingers who have more than 400 old-school gun variations.
The unpredictability of GRIT is one of its signatures, as every gaming scenario is different. Depending on your mood, you can choose from Train Chase mode to Golden Horse, exploring each one and sharpening your skills as you learn to stay alive just a little longer.
Spoiler alert: the most dangerous times of GRIT are when the action temporarily slows. That’s when you should be on high alert, as GRIT is notorious for unleashing deadly calamities out of nowhere. Mudslides, torrential downpours, exploding TNT, posses that appear just when you think you are safe – it is all part of the GRIT experience, one that keeps you guessing and fighting to survive.
Team GRIT is the creator of the game, and they have used the blockchain and Web3 to create a world full of realistic physics and unexpected plot twists. The result is an ownership-enalbled video game that feels different, one that players really want to play.
“Here at Team GRIT, we are invested in this new ecosystem and see all the value that Web3 can bring to the gameplay experience,” says Jon Mavor, Chief Technical Officer at Team GRIT. “We are excited to be working with Gala Games and by our presence on the Epic Games Store. Web3 will make players’ experiences in the Wild West even better.”
John Osvald, President of Games at Gala.Games, states, “Epic is a pioneer and visionary in the video game industry. Gala Games’ titles being available on the Epic Game Store brings legitimacy to this new genre of gaming.”
With the success of GRIT, Gala Games has plans to launch dozens of additional battle royale blockchain games over the next year. It has quickly emerged as a leader in Web3 gaming and is upping the ante for all game producers.
GRIT shows that the gaming industry, which had been feeling a bit predictable, still has a few surprises up its sleeve. If you have the courage, strap on your big iron and get ready for a showdown or two. Proving that you are the quickest draw in the Wild West may not be as easy as you think. With any luck, you’ll be the one who rides off into the sunset, not your opponent.
GRIT is a core battle royale game built on the Unreal Engine with realistic action and nonstop surprises. Players need to ride and fight through towns, build the best Poker hands, and watch their back at every moment. To experience the action and fun of GRIT, please check out its website.
Gala Games is a pioneer in Web3 entertainment, and with Epic Games Store’s 194+ million users, will bring Web3 games to the masses, exposing millions of gamers to this new entertainment genre.
