Review of the Unfettered: AA-level game with P2E mechanics
It's obvious that the P2E will not be able to hold the market for long due to the poor quality of the projects and weak tokenomics. However, we believe that P2E will continue its development in high-level gaming projects, focused primarily on Play and only then on Earn. One of these is the Unfettered. The project started in 2020, has a strong team, and looks promising. Let's explore it?
About the Unfettered
The Unfettered is positioned as an AA-level P2E storyline game that plans to become a bridge between the gaming and the blockchain industry.
Unfettered founders say that the two main problems of P2E - is an unsustainable tokenomics and poor gameplay. To fix it, they decided to create a quality game first and then add blockchain, P2E, and metaverse.
The Unfettered is a grim and gothic Action RPG on Unreal Engine 4 and 500 hours of storyline gameplay. We can see some pretty good cinematic trailers that help understand the level of the project and see some gameplay elements:
Game activities
Play: Unfettered promises PvP, storyline, weekly quests, cooperative events, and other activities. By playing, users will get rewards in native tokens or NFTs. At the start, there will be available only a storyline mode. Developers add other game modes and activities later.
Buy land: According to the Whitepaper, the Unfettered metaverse is a world map divided into plots and battlegrounds. The player can buy land to open a shop and receive transaction fees.
Trade: Unfettered will run an internal marketplace for NFT trading. The player will be able to earn money by selling quests or PvP-fights NFTs, including equipment, lands, and other items.
Stake: Players can stake native $SOULS tokens to receive passive income. Details of the staking are not yet available.
It's Need to note that Unfettered is designed as Free-to-Play, meaning users don't need to buy an NFT character or make any other investments to play.
Tokens and tokenomics
The game's economy is based on two types of tokens:
$SOULS - is an Unfettered utilitarian token. Team plans to launch $SOULS on the Binance smart chain. Players will need $SOULS for:
Players will earn $SOULS by defeating non-player characters (NPCs) and other players. To win the fight, players will need powerful equipment. So by investing in their characters' equipment, players can defeat stronger opponents and earn more $SOULS.
NFTs: lands, armor, weapons, and other items will register as NFTs in the Ethereum network. All NFTs are tradable for in-game and external marketplaces.
The Unfettered offers deflationary and stable tokenomics. Deflation is achieved by burning tokens for some in-game activities and sustainability based on the $SOULS use-cases.

The Unfettered dis/advantages
Quality - let the project pretend only for 2 A, but it is much better than most of the current P2E. It has a strong concept, good graphics, exciting gameplay, and everything that should be in a quality game project.
Product demo - teasers and screenshots for now, but it's more than just concept art drawn by hand. Wait for the first gameplay trailer.
Deflationary tokenomics - Unfettered's tokenomics model can solve the main problem of inflationary gaming tokens: fast growth at the start and then fast drop by a rapidly growing number of grinders.
Social networks - 59.2K followers on Twitter and 24K on Discord. The active pre-IDO promotion has not yet started, so it looks not bad.
Team and bakers - more than 20 specialists work in Unfettered's team. Also, the project has already received $2.5M from Animoca Brands, BreederDAO, Morningstar Ventures, and many other foundations. In addition, there are strong strategic partners.
The team behind Roadmapp's for 1-2 quarters. On a 5-year scale, this is not much but still not good.
The blockchain integration is scheduled for the end of 2022, the game launch for 2023, and the metaverse launch in 2024. Without metaverse, the native token loses its utilitarian value.
Our conclusion
The Unfettered definitely enters our watchlist. There is all reason to expect that IDO will take place in the near future, so DeLa Capital continues to follow the announcements and development of the project. In addition, after the IDO report, we will better understand how far the team is behind the Roadmap. Follow us to keep in touch!
