2 days ago, it was announced that Crypto Shots turned live on the Hive blockchain. They also have launched their own coin DOOM on Hive. So I decided to try. The experience was nice, the game is fun. Despite of slow connection at my place (25-30 Mbps only), there were no lags.
You can play it for free on play.crypto-shots.com
But if you want to earn crypto, you have to buy NFTs (weapons, skins, equipment) - hive.crypto-shots.com/marketplace.
My Gameplay, Level 2
This video shows how I was trying to complete level 2 for the first time. The purpose is to collect all weapons and kill all enemies within an allotted time.
I added a track from the Google Audio Library but you can also hear the original sounds of shots.
The gameplay was smooth except for I am not an experienced shooter player and I can't run dexterously along corridors as some do.
There was only one bug - a frozen trace of a laser shot.
Level 1 Gameplay
Level 1 and Level 2 look not the same and probably other levels will surprise us too. Soon, Level 3 will be launched, Levels 4, 5, 6 will follow in Q1, Q2 of 2023 according to Crypto Shots' Roadmap.
Below is my gameplay on level 1 (I didn't record the sound of shots, my fault), no lags, no bugs:
How to Control the Game
Easy even for ones like me who have never played DOOM 😃
Play2Earn
If you want to play and earn crypto, you are supposed to buy the game NFTs which, luckily, aren't costly. For example, the Starter Pack is now available for 13 HIVE, including 1x Legendary Ammo, 1x Base Gun, 1x Rifle, 1x Shotgun, 1x common and 1x rare character. Buy and sell NFTs on Hive here: https://hive.crypto-shots.com/marketplace. More NFTs are available on atomichub.io.
Big Plans
PVP, mobile browser support, and new $MARS token are planned for this year according to Crypto Shots' Roadmap.
Crypto Shots looks a serious undertaking with a potentially big future. It is worth considering whether to join it while it is still at an early stage to enjoy bonuses as early adopters.

Not a bug 😅 (but you're not the first one to call it so)
If you shoot from some distance, those rays remain in the air killing anything that goes through them.
If you shoot from nearby though they appear like regular bullets.
😀 Then, this gun is a good one for the final battle near the spaceship.
Another location I visited 😮:
That's actually expected too 😅
If you don't have the teleport NFT and at least one rare skin, your spawn points are randomized and one is even on the roof! It's the same in level-0.
In the latter we added instructions (for example this pic above) and you can enter from a window. We also made the outside prettier.
For level-1 we still need to add the instructions and make the outside prettier but you can jump down on the teleport ray to enter back into the rooms 😎
this game looks great to improve and practice my marksmanship hehe.
Same here :) I am a new-born baby in the world of shooters :)
Voy a darle un vistaso porla experiencia, gracias por la información no tenia niidea que habia salido.
Thank you for stopping by!
This is awesome

Thanks for this critical point of view which I missed in my post.
All these thoughts are not groundless.
The name is going to DOOM this game. -- when you need a name for a project, you always have to choose between informativeness and charm. For example, if you create a website about traveling to Thailand, you should choose between something like "travelthailand dot com" and "smilingelephant dot com". The 1st clearly messages people "I am about traveling in Thailand" while the second one is more appealing and easier to remember, more charismatic.
Crypto Shots is informative but not bright as a brand name in my opinion. Will it bring use to the project or more harm - we'll see.
every single crypto game that forces you to buy crypto or NFTs (OR BOTH SOMETIMS) has failed or will fail.
I understand what you are talking about. But as you said, not all of them failed. For example, Splinterlands - you can't earn crypto there without buying NFTs as I know.
Here, on Hive, supporting a new project has an additional meaning. The more projects will grow (try to grow) on this pasture, the better for the blockchain. Even if some of these projects die, activity and connections between people will make Hive stronger.
Did you ever play Marathon back in the day? -
Not really. I hope the devs of Crypto Shots will read your post and learn something useful for their project...
Thank you for sharing your thoughts!
Thanks for the feedback, will elaborate more on my thoughts.
For now..

That's why we value your opinion 🙂
We'll see you around then since PVP is in the making 😄
True, that's the ultimate goal. But it takes time.
It took us only 4 months to get our 1st alpha live (October -> February 22), so for me that was already a miracle. It took a LOT of hard work and at least we did not start selling with a promise of a game 3 years later, like other projects do.
We had/have to start from somewhere and try and get some funds to grow the team with more game devs.
Unity engine
Yeh the idea was to move to walking enemies but requires more work with the rigging, animations and all. The first 3 levels for now have drones.
The 1st level initially was much darker and went live as is because of a bug and we kept it that way since then. May be worth fixing that bug because you're right, a darker atmosphere was cooler..
