Tokyo Beast is a futuristic combat game set in Tokyo in the year 2124, where android fighters, known as BEAST, compete in martial arts tournaments.
Players build teams of four BEAST characters and engage in daily PvP battles leading up to a weekly championship event. The game incorporates a shared NFT system, where new players can participate without purchasing NFTs, whilst existing holders retain asset value.
A key feature of Tokyo Beast is its breeding mechanic, which allows players to generate new BEAST fighters with unique traits. This system adds an element of long-term strategy, encouraging players to develop and refine their teams over time.
