The game allows players to collect NFTs of characters from the original animated series. It allows gamers to develop characters, form teams and play in different modes within the game. 
The Rival mode allows players to revisit the original storyline, while a player-versus-player (PvP) mode lets gamers play against other online players. In addition, the game also features an Arena mode where gamers can play in 11 versus 11 soccer matches.

According to Mint Town CEO Hiroshi Kunimitsu, integrating into the Oasys blockchain gives fans “a new way” to experience the animated story. Kunimitsu added that the release demonstrates the capabilities of blockchain technology in “enhancing interactive entertainment and gaming.”

To commemorate the game’s launch on Oasys, its Genesis NFTs will include additional features, such as increasing players’ energy points.
