The Machines Arena, a thrilling fast-paced hero shooter game developed by Directive Games, is set to launch its highly anticipated beta test. Offering intense battles from a top-down perspective, players will experience explosive PvP matches, engaging PvE challenges, and the opportunity to earn exclusive rewards for their skills and hard work. With a blend of high-risk and high-reward gameplay, The Machines Arena promises an adrenaline-fueled gaming experience that is both easy to learn and hard to master. Additionally, they just announced a relationship with Sky Mavis that will enable them to add digital collectibles that can be minted to the Ronin chain.
Beta Season and Exclusive Rewards
Starting on July 11 at 1pm UTC, gamers will have the chance to participate in the first beta season of The Machines Arena. This inaugural season brings exciting opportunities to win exclusive in-game skins, which can also be minted into NFTs (non-fungible tokens). These unique skins are specifically designed for different game characters, adding a touch of personalization and style to players’ experiences. The beta season offers a chance to earn one of four different skins: Mercenary for Zulu, Urban Commando for XE (a newly unveiled hero), Desert Ranger for Tesla, and Demo for Daye. As players progress through the beta season, unlocking new skins becomes possible with every 25 levels they reach.
Diverse Game Modes
The Machines Arena offers a variety of engaging game modes, each presenting its own challenges and unique maps. Let’s explore the different modes:
1. Pushback
In this mode, two teams compete to push a cart into the enemy team’s base. The cart rails are divided into three areas: one for each team and a neutral zone. Teams aim to push the cart out of the neutral zone and into the opponent’s territory within the designated match time. Victory goes to the team that successfully accomplishes this objective.
2. Detonation
Team Defender and Team Assault take center stage in this mode. Team Assault’s mission is to retrieve the bomb and plant it in two designated bomb sites. Once planted, they must defend the bomb until it detonates. Conversely, Team Defender’s primary goal is to prevent the bomb from exploding on the bomb sites.
3. Skirmish
In Skirmish, players are divided into two teams, battling to achieve a total of 35 kills. With a time limit of 5 minutes, the team with the most kills at the end of the allotted time emerges victorious. Skirmish mode rewards quick reflexes, precision, and effective teamwork.
4. Death Run
The Death Run mode introduces a thrilling PvE scenario where players face high stakes and high rewards. Racing against the clock, players must defeat death itself, showcasing their skills and timing. However, it is essential to know when to quit at the top to ensure the score counts. By excelling in the Death Run mode, players can earn digital collectibles tailored to their playstyle and personality, adding an extra layer of customization to their PvE characters.
Final Thoughts
