About TOKYO BEAST

A new style of gameplay that incorporates blockchain technology to introduce a win-loss prediction element, offering players the opportunity to compete for prizes. The game's setting takes place in future Tokyo, in the year 2124. It is a world where androids with a will, called replicants, have become widespread, and humans are living a cozy and rich life as their owners. Set in a world where technology and combat entertainment converge, "XENO-karate" is a high-stakes tournament where androids known as "BEAST" battle for supremacy. Originally designed as cutting-edge replicants, BEAST models once dominated the world and are now central to this next-generation competition.

Players engage with the game in two ways: as competitors or as spectators predicting match outcomes. Competitor players assemble a team of four BEAST androids and enter the "XENO-karate" tournament, strategizing their way to the top. Meanwhile, spectators can predict the results of weekend championship matches. Accurate predictions are rewarded with in-game items, including jewels and virtual currency.

The combination of strategic battles and outcome predictions creates a unique sense of anticipation and excitement unmatched in other gaming experiences.
