GREE Group's first blockchain game "Crypto Catch! Fishing Star"

A long-awaited blockchain game has been released by GREE. It's "Crypto Catch! Fishing Star".

"Fishing Star" is a free-to-play mobile game that GREE has been offering since 2007, and it's a long-running title that has been running for over 17 years. You can enjoy fishing in the sea or river, collect the fish you catch in your picture book, and compete with other players. The game has a simple operation, but the deep game system that makes you feel like you're fishing in real life has made it popular.

The blockchain game version of "Fishing Star" is "Crypto Catch! Fishing Star". This work will be released worldwide for mobile and PC on June 20, 2024. It was developed by REALITY, a company in the GREE Group, and released by BLRD, a Singapore subsidiary of GREE.

It's very easy to get started with this game, so first access the official website. You will need a Sui wallet (a wallet compatible with blockchain and Sui) to log in, so install it. If you're using a PC, install the browser extension, or if you're using a smartphone, install the "Sui Wallet Mobile app" and create a wallet by authenticating your Google account, and you're ready to go. For mobile devices, you can play from the browser built into the SuiWallet Mobile app.

The game is very simple; just equip a fishing rod and tap a button to catch a fish. Each rod has parameters set, and the more you fish, the more experience points you gain, which strengthens the rod. The higher the rod parameters, the easier it is to catch rare fish, so keep fishing and strengthening your rod until you catch a big one.

If you have five or more rods, you can Mint (convert them into NFTs). The rod NFTs you own in your Sui wallet can be traded on Sui-compatible marketplaces. You can buy and play with rods that other people have raised, or trade rods that you have raised with other people, allowing you to enjoy the unique benefits of NFTs.

By the way, in blockchain games, gas fees (fees) are incurred when recording data on the blockchain. In this game, gas fees are paid with cryptocurrency Sui, but the operator will support some of the gas fees, such as the execution of smart contracts at the time of minting the pole. Basically, you can play for free without having to worry about gas fees, so first visit the official website.

Experience points are awarded depending on the rarity of the fish you catch. Some fish are rare and not so easy to come across.
