VZ Games are now accepting signups for the closed beta of their upcoming real-time strategy title, Hash Rush.
The beta will be limited to 10,000 players and will run from late September until the game enters early access in December. There will be $30,000 worth of the cryptocurrency Ethereum given away to players during this time. Among the many systems and gameplay mechanics that players can try for the first time, VZ Games are especially proud to test out their reward pool of Ethereum payouts for top players.
“We have designed Hash Rush from the ground up to be approachable by cryptocurrency newcomers,” says CEO & co-founder Kris Vaivods, “as we see games as the perfect way to educate people about this new technology. No blockchain experience whatsoever is required to get playing, and as a result we see Hash Rush introducing a generation of gamers to the world of crypto.”
Hash Rush is a real-time strategy game that allows gamers to compete with each other for cryptocurrency and other rewards such as new skins and boosts. Players work to establish Crypto Crystal mining colonies on their planets. They can mine, complete quests or defeat enemies to gain more Crypto Crystals. In turn must defend their own Crypto Crystals from threats by building and strengthening their mining colonies. These colonies help players build wealth and progress up leaderboards. Players can buy, sell and trade items using the in-game marketplace and RUSH Coin cryptocurrency.
“I am really excited with our progress so far,” says Lead Game Designer Rob Nicholls. “Hash Rush has been going a mile a minute since I joined the project. I am looking forward to our closed beta with its $30,000 in cryptocurrency prizes as that is a great way to onramp gamers into the world of blockchain tech. This is an awesome project with an awesome team; we cannot wait to turn our plans into reality.”
VZ Games plans to release Hash Rush on PC this December, with a mobile launch in 2019. Sign up for the closed beta at https://www.hashrush.com/.
