About Dark Frontiers
Dark Frontiers is a new sci-fi mmo developed by Gamestarter, in which GameFi & NFTs play a vital role in all major aspects of this high-tier quality project: NFTs will be used for staking, item ownership, and the creation of real-world value through in-game items.
The title features high-quality graphics, a stellar soundtrack, and an overall feel which will remind the player of great off-chain titles
Starting from a rugged moon base, the players will fight aliens and join alliances, form guilds, defeat PVE and PVP opposition, and discover new NFTs that can either be used to enhance one’s arsenal, or can be sold on secondary markets.
Dark Frontiers will be the first title to implement Gamestarter’s revolutionary Play 2 Immerse (P2I) playing mode: This model aims to leverage the gaming communities & guilds, and rewards the most active players for their in-game and off-game actions: players will be earning $DARK tokens by helping out newbies, writing how-to guides, and being a pillar of the Dark Frontiers in general.
The $DARK token is where both players and token holders will be able to benefit: players will be able to buy upgrades and plots of land with the token, and owning land, a moon or a planet, will generate interest for the player staking property. This will create a virtuous circle, where the price of $DARK will increase, thus benefiting token holders too.
Strap your space suit, set your phasers on kill: it’s time to explore the galaxy!
