Pros and Cons
FAQ
What are the advantages over other M2Es?
The main advantage is the depth of the game component in both PvP and PVE
Will there be a balance with so many parameters?
From the experience of the editors and player feedback, the developers have balanced all the parameters and respond quickly to reports of broken mechanics
Disclaimer
Play-to-Earn games can be highly risky due to price volatility. It is worth remembering that the tokens used by Walken are not only in-game currency, but also cryptocurrency traded on an exchange. This type of investment requires a balanced approach. Gamers' investment in the game could suffer. We do not encourage you to invest your money in such products, and we are not responsible for any money lost. All investments you make are at your own risk.
Summary
We have been testing their closed beta for about a couple of weeks, overall the application is very handy and cool in terms of design, the team almost every couple of days makes some kind of updates. I have a lot of bugs, of course, but for the closed beta it is forgivable, especially they quickly fix them. Earnings are difficult to assess and predict before the token's release on the exchange, because this component is still being tested and is constantly changing. I think everything is clear about the team and the funds
