Neon Strike - New Click To Earn Game?

image.png

First of all, special thanks to @jim-crypto and @taradraz1 for making this post possible, because without them, I wouldn't have a chance to try out Neon Strike, which I believe is currently in the Alpha phase.

I was given a complimentary NFT to try out this game, and after a few weeks, here's my early review. Initially, I think this was going to be a complicated game that required a lot of thinking (think Splinterlands) but I quickly realised that it's a very chill game. With my sole NFT, most of the effort can be done with a few clicks.

Before I go further, here's some screenshots from the game site - https://neonstrike.up.railway.app/

For beginners, here's the key steps:

  • Do Mission 1 (it's the only mission that is complimentary, the rest of the Missions cost NEON to unlock but gives better rewards)
  • After 8 hours, Mission 1 ends, and you get NEON tokens and your NFT earns experience points.
  • The NEON tokens award is based on "4 + NFT Power". At Level 1, my Rare NFT has a Power of 15, so I get 19 NEON tokens per round.
  • The experience awarded is 20 points. The experience points required per level is based on "500 + 50 * Level", so I would need 550 experience points to get from Level 1 to Level 2.
  • After 4 missions, the NFT needs to be repaired and the cost is "2 * NFT Power". For a Level 1 Rare NFT with a power of 15, the repair cost is 30 NEON tokens.

So the typical cycles look like this:

4 MissionsRepair CostNet NEON RewardExperience
Cycle 119 + 19 + 19 + 19 = 763046NFT Level 1: 80 experience points
Cycle 219 + 19 + 19 + 19 = 763046NFT Level 1: 160 experience points
Cycle 319 + 19 + 19 + 19 = 763046NFT Level 1: 240 experience points
Cycle 419 + 19 + 19 + 19 = 763046NFT Level 1: 320 experience points
Cycle 519 + 19 + 19 + 19 = 763046NFT Level 1: 400 experience points
Cycle 619 + 19 + 19 + 19 = 763046NFT Level 1: 480 experience points
Cycle 719 + 19 + 19 + 19 = 763442NFT Level 2: 0 experience points
Cycle 821 + 21 + 21 + 21 = 843450NFT Level 2: 80 experience points
Cycle 921 + 21 + 21 + 21 = 843450NFT Level 2: 160 experience points
Cycle 1021 + 21 + 21 + 21 = 843450NFT Level 2: 240 experience points
Total784316468

After 7 cycles (28 missions), my NFT reached Level 2. At Level 2, the NEON tokens per mission increased by 2 to 21, but the repair cost also increased from 30 to 34.

Over the past 3 weeks, I have gone through about 10 cycles, or 40 missions, and the estimated reward is about 468 NEON tokens.

So the question is, how much can one earn through this click to earn game? Let's look at the current prices on Tribaldex. 100 NEON is trading at 0.42 to 0.87 Hive. Hence 468 NEON tokens is about 1.97 to 4.07 Hive.

Even though there's 24 hours a day and the missions are at 8 hours each, realistically for me, I think I will probably be able to do 2 missions a day. So if 40 missions give me 1.97 to 4.07 Hive, 2 missions a day would translate to 0.10 to 0.20 Hive. Hive is currently trading at 0.19 USD, so that works out to be 0.019 to 0.038 USD per day. (Of course, if the price of Hive soars, then we need to redo the math!)

With that, I hope that gives a rough idea of how the game works, and what to expect from a returns perspective. That said, am still pretty new to this game so I am still learning and exploring. Do note that the game is still in Alpha phase so perhaps more stuff will appear too. Will share more if I find anything interesting later on. If you have any tips, let me know too!
