Intro

The Lost Glitches is a free-to-play trading card game (TCG) that integrates role-playing game (RPG) elements within a cyberpunk universe. Developed by Honig Studios GmbH and published by Mimunga LLC, the game features strategic deck-building and character progression, incorporating blockchain technology for digital asset ownership and trading.

Story

Set in the Deep Sky Network, a digital environment that has evolved beyond its original purpose, players take on the role of “Glitches,” entities navigating this cyberpunk world. Aligned with one of five syndicates, players engage in strategic battles while uncovering the broader narrative. Choices made during gameplay can impact the storyline, providing a more personalized experience. The game also features interactive environmental elements, allowing players to manipulate code and data streams for strategic advantages.

Gameplay

• Deck Building – Players assemble decks from a collection of 300+ cards, each with distinct abilities and effects. Decks are influenced by syndicate alignment, which provides different strategic advantages.
• Character Progression – Progression is tied to in-game activities, where players earn experience points, $MEMORY tokens, Data Cores, and Buck Points to enhance their character’s abilities and unlock additional gameplay options.
• Combat Phases – Battles follow a turn-based structure, divided into pre-combat, combat, and post-combat phases. Players deploy “Glitches” (units) and “Software” (spells) to execute different strategies.
• Environmental Interaction – Some mechanics involve interacting with the Deep Sky Network, such as manipulating code or data streams, adding another layer of strategy.

Economy

• Digital Collectibles – Players can obtain and exchange cards and cosmetic items, with some assets being exclusive to early access or seasonal events.
• Play-to-Earn Model – By participating in battles and completing objectives, players earn $MEMORY tokens and NFTs, which can be used in-game or traded. The game utilizes the Xai Layer-3 blockchain, which supports fast transactions with no gas fees.
• Marketplace & Trading – A peer-to-peer trading system enables players to buy, sell, and exchange assets. The game previously operated on ImmutableX before transitioning to Xai for its blockchain infrastructure.
