Time Raiders is a play-to-earn, top-down looter-shooter for PC (Windows) by Utopian Game Labs. The game is set in an expansive universe where players travel through various historical timelines, embarking on raids, battling enemies, uncovering secrets, and collecting valuable loot can be traded, sold, or used to strengthen their in-game characters. Time Raiders integrates blockchain technology (Polygon) to record and secure ownership of digital assets earned, crafted or purchased by players, namely NFT assets (e.g. characters, skins, vehicles) and cryptocurrency. Time Raiders has its own currency ($XPND), NFT marketplace, and decentralized autonomous organization(s) (DAO).
