BranchClash: A Fully On-Chain Tower Defense Blockchain Game with New Collaboration Mechanism

Abstract

Mainstream blockchain games have drawn criticism for prioritizing economic systems over gameplay experience. Influenced by these economically-centered games, existing research on blockchain games predominantly focuses on the financial sector. We have developed BranchClash, a fully on-chain tower defense game on the Sepolia testnet of Ethereum. It introduces chain collaboration, a novel non-economically-centered game mechanism inspired by blockchain technology. BranchClash aims to expand unique game mechanics in blockchain games and explore innovative cooperative modes within the decentralized ecosystem.
