The 2018 gamescom’s event will always be memorable for Hash Rush as they returned to win the Best Innovation Award. Winning the award came not only with the joy attached, but also sharing the stage with the big names of the industry. Indeed, Hash Rush shared the stage with big studios’ games such as Nintendo’s Super Mario Party, and PlayStation’s Marvel’s Spiderman. Not to mention, that also includes Xbox’s Ori and the Will of the Wisps.
The Concept of Hash Rush
Hash Rush launched on July 31st, 2018. As a real-time strategy game, Hash Rush allows players to compete with each other for virtual currencies. And that’s just the beginning. Gamers also get other rewards in the form of boosts and new skins. The principle of winning the game rewards is for the players to work hard in order to establish mining colonies.
These Crypto Crystal mining colonies are established on their planets. Though, before establishing the Crypto Crystal, they must vanquish their hurdles – the enemies. Afterward, they continue to attack the Crypto Crystal to gain more of them and protect the existing ones. To this end, the players must strengthen and build their mining colonies.
