RoboKiden is a free-to-play online multiplayer party shooter developed for Windows PC (with PS5, Switch, and Xbox planned) by The Breach Studios. The game introduces a team-based combat experience where players engage in battles using large robots and a variety of unconventional weaponry. Participants work collaboratively in a series of strategic and action-oriented scenarios, aiming to dominate the battlefield through the management of control points and the effective use of their mecha’s capabilities. RoboKiden employs blockchain technology (Ethereum/Avalanche) to record and secure ownership of in-game assets such as NFTs (e.g. weapons, items) and cryptocurrency ($KIDEN).
Game Features
- Multiple Game Mechanics: The game combines elements of third-person shooters, cooperative gameplay, and MOBA strategies.

Blockchain Integration
WhitepaperRoboKiden features a partially player-owned economy where players can effectively own and trade most in-game digital assets (e.g. weapons, armor, items, cryptocurrency) outside of the game, using smart contracts built on the Ethereum (NFTs) and Avalanche (crypto) blockchains to record and secure transactions and ownership thereof. The game also has its own cryptocurrency, $KIDEN, which serves as the primary in-game currency and reward token.
