Toshimon is a browser-based online battling game that requires the use of non-fungible tokens on the Ethereum platform to act as immutable in-game assets. Players connect their Ethereum wallets to the Toshimon website using Metamask, and assemble a team of five Toshimon to take on their opponents. There are 14 types of Toshimon, and each type has different strengths and weaknesses. It is up to you to decide how to best assemble your team to be prepared for any challenger.
Once you have your team assembled, you can battle your Toshimon in the turn-based Toshimon Arena. Each player takes turns attacking the other player using their team of Toshimon. The winner is the last player standing. After you become confident in your skills, you can choose to put Ethereum on the line using our peer-to-peer wagering system. This provides a fun and competitive way to showcase your skills, and also supports the secondary NFT market. If you need to assemble a stronger team, you can always purchase the Toshimon cards you need from secondary markets such as OpenSea and Rarible.
Types of Toshimon Cards:
There are 151 Toshimon in the First Generation, but there are also in-game items, Toshimon Move Modules (TMMs), and wearable cosmetics. There are different rarities for each type of card, with some being much more rare than others. In-game items are essential to gameplay, and include healing potions, stat boosting potions, and more.
Items exhaust a turn when used, and some items have a cooldown before they can be used again. You might want to have multiple copies of the same item so you don’t have to wait for the cooldown. Toshimon Move Modules are training cards that allow you to teach a Toshimon a new move. Each Toshimon can learn a maximum of four moves at a time. TMMs are only teachable to certain compatible Toshimon, and have a lengthy cooldown. They can be very useful for balancing your team, and some TMMs are more rare and powerful than others. Finally, cosmetic items are used to change the appearance of your character and Toshimon in-game. These items range from clothing to cosmetic stat cards and avatars. Some of them are exceptionally rare!
Toshimon cards are minted by the Toshimon smart contract randomly according to a fixed rarity issuance chance. Each Toshimon has a different designated rarity, and some have an extra rare Secret version. Toshimon are also randomly assigned a demeanor. Demeanors raise one base stat by 10 points, shown on the card as a golden box around the affected stat. Since demeanors are randomly assigned, some extremely rare (e.g. Legendary) Toshimon may have few instances of certain demeanors. Depending on your use for the Toshimon, some demeanors may be better than others!
Toshimon Gameplay
Toshimon is played in browser and able to be run by most devices. The gameplay is similar to other turn-based monster fighting games, such as Pokemon Stadium and Yu-Gi-Oh. Toshimon gameplay focuses on the battling aspect, with two trainers going head-to-head. Before battle, each trainer chooses five Toshimon for their team and any items they may want to bring. The trainers then send out one Toshimon each and begin battling by selecting one of up to three moves that their Toshimon have learned. Once any Toshimon’s HP is reduced to 0, it is removed from battle. The last trainer standing wins.
There will be a lobby and chatroom for players to discuss strategies, make friends, and challenge others to battle. Cosmetic items will be visible by your friends and opponents during matches and in the lobby, so make sure you look the part!
