# What is ChronoForge?

### 'Hack and Slash' Combat Meets an MMO-Scale Prisoner's Dilemma

ChronoForge challenges the familiar ‘greed is good’ RPG experience with an MMO-scale social experiment that gives **real consequence to collective player decisions**.

ChronoForge is being developed by [Minted Loot Studios](https://mintedloot.com).&#x20;

**The Mission**\
Players gear up with 12 combat classes to battle exotic foes through time - from dinosaurs to space raiders. Raiding and open world mini-games are used to upgrade community-governed airships known as ‘trading companies’ for top tier crafting.

**The Catch?**\
In a ‘global prisoner’s dilemma’, players vote weekly to decide whether to attack rivals, ban harmful tech or *risk a global apocalypse* by activating their ChronoForge to smelt the best gear!

#### Collectibles

Our genesis collection of [**Adventurer** **NFT**](/collectibles/quick-breakdown.md#adventurer-nfts) characters sold out in January 2022. Playable characters and valuable loot can all be minted as [**carbon-neutral NFTs**](/collectibles/quick-breakdown.md) owned and traded by players.\
\
We are supported by a community of over \~**400,000 on** [**Twitter**](https://twitter.com/playchronoforge) and [**Discord**](https://discord.gg/chronoforge) where you can enjoy **games**, **giveaways** and **development sneak-peeks**.&#x20;
