Gala Games drops announcement of new turn-based RPG!
We love bringing amazing new games to the Gala Games community, and -into the galaverse europe 2022 is the perfect opportunity to announce some of our most exciting new projects. From developer OneUniverse comes the new turn-based RPG– CHAMPIONS ARENA!
Note: This is subject to a Founder’s Node vote– coming soon.
Champions Arena
In Champions Arena, Players can collect over 100 different, fascinating and unique NFT Champions and various NFT items. Summon your Champions to dispatch them on missions, or control them directly in real-time tactical, turn-based battles.
As your Champions fight your enemies, you’ll utilize powerful equipment, spell and skill cards to aid them. Deck building will be a key strategy for players looking to find the best synergies, as lesser cards can be combined into more powerful abilities. Using your energy card resources efficiently and casting summoner spells with proper timing will both be vital in the arena!
The Champions
From Science Fiction to Fantasy, there is a huge variety of Champions to choose from and collect. The heroes themselves are drawn from both Eastern and Western mythos, and all Champions have their own cultural influences and unique styles.
Each Champion can be customized with gear and ranked up into more powerful versions. As you progress through the game you’ll find powerful auras and items, and your Champions will grow stronger and even more uniquely yours.
Fight for Glory
In Champions Arena, not all the action will just be player on player arena action. Explore the unknown reaches of the world, find vital resources, or team up with others for epic Co-Op Conquest Battles.
Players can all out brawl in individual or Guild PvP, engage in story Campaigns, or even the deadly Tower of Trial for even more treasures, experience, and fun.
The Arena Opens Soon
This is just a first glance at this upcoming title, and we hope everyone in the community is as excited by this news as we are!
Stay tuned and we’ll keep you up to date on all the latest news on Champion’s Arena.
“Project Saturn” unveiled as Battlestar Galactica at Galaverse!
Last week we weren’t yet ready to share a lot of details about “Project Saturn” when we first proposed the game to the community. After an AMA featuring the developers from Revolving Games, Founder’s Node operators saw the amazing potential in this 4X Strategy MMO game and accepted it into the Gala Games Ecosystem.
We are ready to reveal …
“Project Saturn” is in fact a Battlestar Galactica-themed blockchain game!The game is planned to take place within the world of the legendary re-imagined series which aired for four seasons from 2003–2004 on Syfy. All the features and systems that we originally presented as “Project Saturn” are actually planned for this Battlestar Galactica game, being developed by Revolving Games in collaboration with Gala Games and Universal Games and Digital Platforms.
Epic 4X Strategy MMO in Battlestar Galactica
REBUILD — In the Battlestar Galactica game, each season will commence with a new iteration of a surprise Cylon attack, leaving the Twelve Colonies in ruins. You will play as a human survivor and spawn your base near one of the remaining colonies. You will need to regain territory and resources to rebuild and withstand the incoming Cylon attacks.
REUNITE — As your territory grows and expands, new threats will begin to emerge. Cooperation and social connections will be key during this phase to recapture and rebuild the technology necessary to withstand the assaults. You’ll need to form alliances and coordinate tactics to defeat entrenched enemies and overcome the Cylons.
RECLAIM — Once reunited, you will be able to work with alliances on coordinating large scale attacks on strategic Cylon targets to fulfill seasonal goals. Alliance and individual leaderboards will indicate how successful humanity was at suppressing the Cylon onslaught. All your achievements throughout the season will contribute to how well you can withstand the threat from the attacking Cylons.
The Universe You Love
The gameplay from the Battlestar Galactica blockchain game will happen in the same universe as the re-imagined series, roughly 40 years after the First Cylon War. Each Cylon attack that initiates the start of a new season will create a slightly different set of circumstances that survivors will need to adapt to and plan accordingly.
Each colony will have its own levels of governance, technology and militarism. These alliances will need to actively coordinate and strategize to decide the outcome of each season.
So Say We All
The time is coming when you’ll have to think tactically to protect the human race from the Cylon incursion. Rebuild your fleet, reunite your faction, and reclaim the Twelve Colonies.
We are absolutely thrilled to finally be able to share more info about this exciting game with you, and even more thrilled to be welcoming Battlestar Galactica into the Gala Games Ecosystem.
Look for more information coming up from Gala Games, Revolving Games and Universal Games and Digital Platforms on the future of this exciting project!
That’s a wrap on the most rewarding month in Gala Games history.
This was Gala Games’ kind of party, where the favors are free and the rewards are plentiful. Let the month of May stand as a shining beacon not only for Mayhem itself, but as a reminder of exactly how much Gala Games cares about its community. We are everything we are because of you and thanks to you. You are constantly empowering us so we can continue to empower you, and that’s the real beauty of Web3.
When Gala Games Sees a Bear Market
We don’t make any predictions or promises about token values. We’re not in the business of speculating on cryptocurrency, we’re in the business of redefining the entertainment industry with the power of Web3. Still, it probably hasn’t gone unnoticed within our community that the crypto markets as a whole have been experiencing a cold winter.
Let it be remembered that our most rewarding month ever with countless millions offered as prizes just for playing our free games, happened during what is being hailed as the worst crypto recession since 2018.
How does Gala Games react when crypto supporters don’t like what they’re seeing in their portfolios? We give away insane amounts of $GALA as prizes, and we offer once-in-a-lifetime onboarding opportunities to get sweet positioning in our Web3 gaming Ecosystem.
During times that some crypto hodlers would call turbulent, Gala Games is happy to keep doing what we do best: Creating and publishing fantastic AAA quality games with Web3 layers of ownership and rewards built in.
Town Star | Build. Win. Earn.
Each week of May in Town Star, we hosted a special competition with $500,000 in $GALA prizes available for the top 2000 finishers. But that’s not all. There were additional prizes for the Play-to-Earn servers as well
We also promised a special new robot friend, the Feed Bot NFT to all players who referred 10 new players to Town Star during May and a special NFT bonus to everyone who played themselves for at least three different days of the month!
It was a rewarding month for Town Star players. Exciting updates and big changes are coming soon to Town Star — You can always learn what’s happening on The TOWN STAR BLOG.
Spider Tanks | Esports Mayhem
Our highly-anticipated high-octane brawler from GAMEDIA went into open early release just before May Mayhem. Talk about great timing!
Spider Tanksplayers were able to get a HUGE piece of the May Mayhem action, with weekly tournaments and with around $750,000 in $GALA distributed to winners of various contests and challenges.
Spider Tanks also distributed $500,000 in $GALA throughout the month in the weekly referral challenge. The weekly prize was split by all accounts that qualified by reaching a certain number of referrals during the week.
Town Crush | Not Quite Yet
Everyone was eager to play Town Crush, and a lucky few enjoyed it for several hours before unforeseen technical setbacks caused the game’s release to be, well.. set back. Finding problems like this was part of the plan, as the game was built solely to test Project GYRI, the Gala Games blockchain currently in the late stages of development.
Unfortunately, the players will have to wait a little longer to enjoy that sweet match3 action they have come to adore. Fortunately, the game will return, and the $400,000 contest that was previously scheduled for May Mayhem will still take place at an unannounced later date.
Free NFTs
In this special promotion that lasted all month long, NFT owners from various projects in the Gala Games Ecosystem have been rewarded with all sorts of exclusive new drops.
This was designed to reward early supporters of Gala Games projects. This was an incredible opportunity for us to 1) spend a month giving to our community, not selling, and 2) to remind you that rewards can be sudden and surprising, but they are always on our minds.
Across all different titles that participated with a May Mayhem free NFT, somewhere around 100,000 new NFTs were created and distributed to owners as of the snapshot that was taken before May began.
Almost all these free NFTs were dependent on the rarity of items already in the recipient’s wallet. For example, Legendary Cookeries were distributed to all owners of Legendary Georgia Dead Claims in The Walking Dead: Empires.
Obviously we cannot yet calculate or comment on the secondary market values of these 100,000 NFTs. Maybe you’ll have a better idea in a year.

We May Be Onto Something
That’s it. It seems we’ve made a tradition come to life: May Mayhem. Let’s do it again next May. The Mayhem is that we have such an incredible community that deserves rewards worth millions of dollars. The Mayhem is that even when throwing massive rewards at our community in a bear market, we can continue to grow, bringing more AAA games to the table.
Thanks for the Mayhem. Thanks for playing in the Gala Games Arcade.
Stick around, because there are tons of things coming.
