Spellborne

Introduction

Spellborne is a monster-catching MMORPG developed by Mon Studios, set in a retro pixel-art world called Celestia. Players begin as one of three hunters—Atom, Bellatrix, or Cosmo—each with distinct goals and roles in the unfolding world. The game blends traditional RPG progression with monster training and guild-based competition.

Season 2 is currently live via browser. While the game is wishlisted on Epic Games and mobile builds are in development, the main experience remains browser-based. Spellborne is free-to-play with optional NFT purchases like apartments and monsters, which grant early access and enhanced gameplay perks.

Lore

The story unfolds in Celestia, a vibrant pixel-art universe where players begin in Yorokobi Town, a peaceful hub filled with friendly NPCs and roaming monsters. Players face the ongoing conflict between two forces: the Order, a tyrannical organization maintaining strict control, and Team Crux, a rebellious group seeking redemption and change.

Each hunter brings a personal motivation to the narrative, and progression often aligns players with factions, guilds, or rival teams. Guild wars, evolving alliances, and a dynamic taskboard keep the story alive through community-driven actions. Player choices influence outcomes, offering a lore-rich world that evolves over time with seasonal changes and world events.

Gameplay

Spellborne centers around capturing and evolving monsters in a world shaped by PvP competition, guild cooperation, and task-based missions. Players engage in turn-based combat, deploying monsters and selecting moves each turn, balancing energy costs with tactical choices like buffs, debuffs, and sync crystal deployment.

Season 2 introduces PvP Leagues (Badged and Randoms), ranked competition, and progression-based achievements. Guilds play a central role in co-op tasks, and players gain rewards through winning streaks, league rank, and performance milestones. Professions, monster mutations, and terrain effects add layers of strategy to battles.

• Turn-Based Combat: Use sync crystals, energy management, and terrain positioning.
• PvP Leagues: Compete in ranked modes and casual matches for ELO-based rewards.
• Guilds & Tasks: Join forces for collaborative goals and bonuses.
• Professions & Crafting: Gather and refine resources for in-game progress.

Economy

Spellborne’s economy blends on-chain and in-game systems. The $BORNE token—planned for CEX/DEX listing—serves as the game’s primary reward and utility token, powering guild systems, staking, and purchases. In parallel, in-game guild tokens handle internal taskboard rewards and co-op efforts.

Spellborne NFTs include apartments (guild hubs, early access), monsters, characters, and equipment. NFTs enhance gameplay and offer cosmetic or strategic advantages. A portion of the $BORNE supply (5%) is allocated as rewards for Season 2 performance, with additional NFT rewards tied to PvP performance and task achievements.

• $BORNE Token: Tradable utility token for rewards, purchases, and staking (coming this season).
• Guild Tokens: In-game currency for guild missions and progression.
• NFTs: Apartments, monsters, and characters with gameplay utility.
• Marketplace: Expected to launch mid-to-late Season 2, enabling trading of assets.
