Guild of Guardians Dungeons opens for early access
Early Access for Guild of Guardians Dungeons is live on the Vanguard Server, and players can jump straight in through the browser. Announced on August 26, 2026, the release lets participants pick from a lineup of Guardians that includes the swordsman Myra and the mage Lia.
Idle RPG mechanics
Combat runs on an idle loot RPG structure, with battles resolving automatically and loot piling up even while players are away. Three pillars hold the design together: chasing greater power, never-ending progression, and turning rarity into ownership. Raw character power comes from the gear won in fights, while Mastery builds capability over the long run, and Engravings offer another layer of customization for whatever equipment drops.
Two players carrying the exact same gear can still end up with different results, since Mastery levels and engravings vary from one account to the next. Rarity tiers run from Epic up to Mythic, and standout pieces such as the Scarlet Kingblade and Aether King Sovereignty are in the mix. Gear at the higher rarities can be turned into NFTs and traded on the marketplace.
Assist system for NFT holders
Players who already hold NFTs can route those assets into the game through the Assist system, which grants boosted stats that grow alongside a player’s level. There are ten Assist slots in total, a setup that puts NFTs collected in the original mobile game back to work.
Acting as the early access environment, the Vanguard Server gives players the earliest look at fresh content while work on Dungeons carries on. Launch day also brings a full guide to help players get their bearings with the new systems.
About Guild of Guardians
Developed by Guardians Guild Limited, Guild of Guardians is an action fantasy RPG built on Ethereum and Immutable zkEVM. Its mobile release is available on iOS and Android, where time spent playing translates into tradable assets.
Play revolves around building squads of Guardian heroes, taking on dungeon challenges, and crafting items, with rewards handed out through seasonal leaderboards. GEMS, an ERC-20 token, sits at the center of the in-game economy and covers asset minting, marketplace activity, and governance voting; it currently trades around 0.00229598 USD against a market cap of roughly 9.52 million USD.
The game has made a name for itself in mobile web3 gaming, finishing eighth for Best Action Game and tenth for Best RPG at the 2024 awards. On PlayToEarn it sits at rank number 137, carrying an overall score of 477.
Compared with the mobile game, Dungeons delivers a different kind of experience — a more passive one, where progress keeps ticking along without requiring a dedicated daily session. The Assist system ties assets across both titles together, so the two sides of the game feel connected.
