About “Guild of Guardians”
Guild of Guardians is a mobile roguelike squad RPG set in a world on the brink of collapse. Players summon guardians, join a guild, and protect Elderym, experiencing a unique mix of roguelike combat, progression systems based on merging and recipes, and Web3 trading and ownership mechanics.
“Guild of Guardians” boasts high-quality gameplay, stunning graphics, intuitive mechanics, and a player-centric rewards system.

A Rich Fantasy Web3 Experience That’s Easy To Learn & Play
Guild of Guardians is a mobile squad RPG that challenges players to navigate dungeons with teams of Guardians to gather resources. These resources are crucial for crafting rare items and new Guardians, which can be sold. Players collaborate to assemble powerful squads, contribute to their Guilds, and devise strategies to tackle the game’s toughest content. Set in a distinctive fantasy RPG world. The game features a variety of character classes including mages, warriors, elves, and orcs.
The game features two types of dungeons: Story Dungeons, which unlock sequentially as players progress, and Endless Dungeons, which are randomly regenerated with each entry. Resources collected from dungeons in “Guild of Guardians” are managed in a visual inventory where they can be merged. These resources can be used in crafting recipes or further merged until they qualify as blockchain items, enabling them to be bought and sold on the blockchain.
Additionally, the game will have a Guild System! As the game aims to be multiplayer-focused, joining a Guild allows players to maximize earnings, collect all items, and complete the game. Guilds enable players to tackle the most challenging content, craft items for sale on the marketplace and access exclusive game modes. These modes allow players to showcase their top heroes, battle the toughest enemies, and earn unique and rare rewards.
Guardians: Gotta Collect Em All!
Guardians are amazingly crafted units, each with distinct properties influencing their playstyle, strengths, and weaknesses, to navigate dungeons and combat monsters. Obtained through summoning, either by purchase or through gameplay rewards. The game emphasizes collectibility with a broad spectrum of Guardians to collect and upgrade. Merging and crafting systems further enhance Guardian capabilities, occasionally transforming their abilities. Success in battles, especially against formidable foes like the Dread, depends on acquiring and synergizing a diverse roster of Guardians so the more Guardians you have, the more strategies you can create!
One thing that stood out to us is the beautiful art style of the game. Guardian portraits look amazing and the enemies you’ll encounter in the game are menacingly cool! (who doesn’t want to fight a giant multi-headed skull monster thingy that spews green flame?)

Pets, Energy Boosters, and Equipment
Pets are creatures that can be bound to your team to provide various benefits, including increased crafting resources, higher item drop chances, and better dungeon rewards. Purchased during the presale or bought from other players after the game launches. Once purchased, players receive an equipable pet that enhances their gameplay.
The game employs an energy system that refills over time and is used up each time a player enters a dungeon. Unlike typical free-to-play games where extra energy costs in-app currencies, this game introduces Energy Booster NFTs. These NFTs give a permanent energy boost, allowing players to use their favorite heroes longer without the usual penalties such as stat reductions or increased energy requirements for heroes that become ‘fatigued’ from frequent dungeon entries. These boosters also reduce the rate at which heroes become fatigued.
Players can also discover and craft hundreds of weapons and pieces of armor, each potentially offering unique buffs and stat bonuses to the Guardians they equip. Additionally, equipping certain sets of gear can provide additional boosts to Guardians. The game does not sell equipment directly, emphasizing player-driven discovery and creation.

The Tokenomics of “Guild of Guardians”
The $GOG token, an ERC-20 token, serves as the central element within the Guild of Guardians ecosystem, issued by Guardians Guild Limited. It enhances player experiences by allowing them to unlock various engaging and rewarding activities within the game. Players can earn $GOG tokens by participating in leaderboard competitions, completing challenging in-game activities, and contributing to the community, with rewards distributed by Guardians Guild Limited.
The $GOG token is utilized in various ways within the “Guild of Guardians” ecosystem:
- Minting Assets – $GOG is necessary for minting gaming NFTs, which grants ownership, tradeability, and access to additional in-game features and perks.
