Thetan Arena is one of the most popular play-to-earn (P2E) games that came out late last year. Like Axie Infinity, players get rewards in cryptocurrency that can be exchanged for real money, but that’s pretty much where the similarities end. Axie Infinity is a turn-based strategy game, while Thetan Arena is a dynamic multiplayer battle arena (MOBA) game, more like a mix of Brawl Stars and Pokémon Unite.
The main difference between this game and other P2E projects is that it is free to play. You don’t need to spend hundreds of dollars to start playing, although there is still the option to purchase heroes or chests — these allow you to speed up your progress and increase your income, but it is entirely possible to start your journey and achieve success without them.
To install the game, simply go to the official Thetan Arena website and download the client for your device. The game is supported on both PCs and iOS and Android smartphones. After creating an account, you can start playing right away. If desired, players can link their MetaMask wallet through the Marketplace to withdraw in-game currency or purchase characters. However, it is important to remember that this operation is irreversible, and you cannot change the linked address later. Linking a wallet is not mandatory — it is only necessary for working with THC and THG tokens.
In terms of gameplay, Thetan Arena resembles classic MOBAs. If you’ve played Wild Rift or Pokemon Unite, the controls and interface will be immediately familiar. Newbies can go through training and get the hang of it without any problems. When you first enter the game, you get a hero named Raidon, and then two more free characters for progress. The rest of the heroes can be purchased with tokens on the marketplace or obtained from special boxes. Each character has their own unique play style and special Rage ability, as well as characteristics that affect their in-game currency earnings: the number of available battles with rewards, bonuses for victories, and limits on the number of matches per day. These parameters depend on the rarity of the hero and their skin. Free characters are suitable for playing and leveling up, but they do not earn cryptocurrency for victories.
Despite this, it is still possible to play without investing. Free heroes allow you to participate in matches, increase your rating, and earn rewards for achievements. As prizes, players receive PP for leveling up or gTHC, which can be used to purchase new characters and increase income. Over time, you can collect enough funds to purchase a paid hero and earn more.
Thetan Arena has several modes: “Battle Royale” for solo or duo play, where the last survivor wins; “Tower Siege,” where teams summon a robot to destroy their opponent’s base; “Super Star,” where you have to capture a point and score points; and “Deathmatch,” where it’s every man for himself and the player with the most kills wins. In addition, there is a Custom Battle mode that allows you to create private games with friends.
Before the battle, players can choose two skills for their hero. Combined with the Rage skill, this forms a complete set of abilities. Skills are divided into three types: damage-dealing, effect-imposing, and support. Skillful combinations of abilities allow you to create powerful combos. For example, using the Black Hole crowd control skill together with the Bullet Storm attack skill can destroy an entire group of enemies.
The controls are standard for the genre: the joystick is responsible for movement, a separate button activates auto-attack, and two abilities and the unique Rage skill are also available. This set makes the gameplay easy to learn but difficult to master.
The gTHC and gTHG earned in the game can be withdrawn via the Marketplace by connecting MetaMask. To do this, simply log into your profile and click “Claim.” It is important to note a few conditions: there is a 4% commission fee for withdrawing funds, and you must reach at least Bronze I rank. Once received, tokens can be exchanged for fiat or other cryptocurrencies.
As a result, Thetan Arena stands out among many P2E projects by offering free access and a low entry threshold. For fans of the MOBA and PvP genres, this is a great opportunity to combine exciting gameplay with the possibility of earning money. Try your hand at combat — and maybe you’ll be one of those who can turn the game into a source of real income.
