Plant vs. Undead (PVU) is a multiplayer tower defense strategy game where you try to survive the onslaught of the undead that seeks to devour every living thing, including plants.
Fortunately, the plants in this world were able to adapt and gained elemental abilities thanks to their Mother Trees’ evolution and nurturing powers, helping humanity fend off the undead unleashed by an unknown infection.
Sounds familiar? This game was inspired by the famous tower defense game Plants vs. Zombies. The good thing is that this game was built on the blockchain, which allows you to own your plants as NFTs. You can collect and trade their plants within the game on its marketplace.
Free To Play
Compared to other blockchain games that are more like an investment deal, PVU doesn’t have such financial barriers. The game is free and open for everyone without spending any money.
In-game Currency
The game’s in-game currency is called PVU, and players can spend PVU tokens to buy Plants and Seeds from the market.
Play To Earn
Aside from being a free-to-play game, PVU also allows you to earn real money. And all you need is your phone with an internet connection.
In-game Marketplace
PVU has a marketplace that doesn’t take advantage of high fees. And all you need is the PVU token to purchase from it.
Players can also buy, sell, lend, and borrow plants with a small fee of 5%.
Gameplay
PVU is a combination of tower defense and farmer simulation. Players will take the role of a farmer, helping plants evolve into magical creatures. PVU also offers a variety of game modes for you to explore, including PvP, PvE, and Farming mode. You also need to play smart and strategize as plants work better when paired with certain plants, creating synergy and boosting their power.
Farming Mode
Plants and their Mother Trees are collectible NFTs that can be sold on the NFT marketplace. And at the beginning of your journey, you get to start with plants from the game’s shop. Note that these plants can not be traded as NFTs, but you could purchase NFT plants from the marketplace.
And just like any normal plant, they’ll need your doting care and protection from harsh weather and pesky crows. You’ll need to look after your plants every day to make sure they can blossom and produce Light Energy one day.
The better you take care of your plants, the more Light Energy they could yield, and Light Energy can be exchanged for PVU tokens and Seeds to grow even more plants and NFTs.
The World Tree
PVU uniquely rewards its community. Every day, players can give water to the World Tree, and the more players participate, the more rewards they would reap.
Game Balance
Plant vs. Undead is an NFT game; therefore, its rarity is essential to retain every asset’s value. So they’ve come up with a game mechanic that limits a plant’s number of usage for every game mode. That way, there will always be room for new and unique plants, and their economy will be safe from inflation.
Conclusion
In my opinion, Plant vs. Undead has a unique concept going on. And I can imagine that many people would adore this type of game, even more so than other action-packed alternative games out there. It all depends on one’s preferences.
