And, more importantly, is the game\u2019s native token PVU a good investment to add to your portfolio?<\/p>\n

What Is Plant vs Undead?<\/h2>\n

Plant vs Undead is a player-versus-player tower defense game that operates with the Binance Smart Chain to let players collect and own NFT assets from within the game.<\/p>\n

As for the gameplay itself, Plant vs Undead is basically a clone of the popular video game Plants vs. Zombies from Electronics Arts that was released in 2009.<\/p>\n

Plant vs Undead is similar to other play-to-earn crypto games like Axie Infinity<\/a>. The game lets players earn NFTs of in-game assets. And, the platform\u2019s native token PVU is also exchangeable for USD on various decentralized exchanges (DEXs)<\/a>.<\/p>\n

How Do You Play Plant vs Undead?<\/h2>\n

There are two different game modes in Plant vs Undead:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. PVP Mode<\/strong>: Players place different plants within a garden plot to defend their Mother Tree against hordes of zombies. Plants have different abilities, like damaging certain undead monsters more or slowing monsters down. As you destroy monsters, you have the chance to earn PVU tokens.<\/li>\n
  2. Farm Mode<\/strong>: With farm mode, players create a garden of various plants in a non player-versus-player environment. Plants gradually generate Light Energy (LE), another token in Plant vs Undead. You can exchange LE tokens for PVU tokens to buy more plants or to sell your tokens on a decentralized exchange for actual cash.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    So in short, you use PVU tokens to buy more plants to help defend your garden in the PVP mode or plants for farm mode that help you generate Light Energy yield.<\/p>\n

    The more Light Energy you earn, the more PVU tokens you can get, expediting the process of growing a stronger garden. Over time, you can also sell off your PVU tokens on a variety of DEXs for regular fiat or other popular cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin<\/a> and Solana<\/a>.That\u2019s how to play Plant vs Undead in a nutshell. But if you want to try out this play-to-earn crypto game yourself, there\u2019s a few steps involved.<\/p>\n

    1. Install & Connect MetaMask Wallet<\/h3>\n

    You need a MetaMask wallet<\/a> to play Plant vs Undead. MetaMask is a free software cryptocurrency wallet<\/a> that works with the Ethereum blockchain.You download MetaMask as a browser extension. Creating a wallet is free, and you just need to backup a private seed phrase MetaMask generates in case you ever lose access to your account.Once you download MetaMask, Plant vs Undead asks you to connect your wallet to its player-versus-player game mode and its farming mode. These are two separate platforms, which is a bit confusing. But all you have to do is click \u201csign in with MetaMask\u201d on each gamemode to gain access to Plant vs Undead.<\/p>\n

    2. Purchase 5 PVU Tokens<\/h3>\n

    The next step in playing Plant vs Undead is to purchase 5 starting PVU tokens. This is because you need some starting resources to buy tools and seeds to plant your garden. Without your initial 5 PVU, you can\u2019t plant anything to begin generating LE, so you\u2019re completely stuck.This step isn\u2019t very intuitive, but it\u2019s necessary. Currently, decentralized exchange PancakeSwap<\/a> is the most popular way to buy PVU tokens.With PancakeSwap, you can swap a variety of cryptocurrencies for PVU. For example, you can swap some of your Bitcoin or USDT for PVU to obtain your first 5 tokens.<\/p>\n

    \"PancakeSwap<\/span><\/p>\n

    Currently, PVU costs approximately $0.057 per token, so this is a very small starting investment to play Plant vs Undead.Note that you also need a small amount of Binance Coin to begin playing Plant vs Undead. This is because PVU tokens are BEP20 tokens on the Binance Smart Chain. Therefore, transactions require paying BNB network fees, so you need some BNB in your wallet to cover this small cost.<\/p>\n

    You can buy Binance Coin on popular exchanges like Binance<\/a>, FTX<\/a>, and KuCoin<\/a>.<\/p>\n

    3. Convert PVU to LE<\/h3>\n

    Once you have your PVU, you need to exchange it for Light Energy so you can purchase starting tools and seeds for your farm.Plant vs Undead has a built-in swapping system, so you can always turn your PVU tokens into LE tokens or vice versa. The swap rate changes depending on the value of PVU, but 5 PVU tokens is enough to get your farm started.<\/p>\n

    4. Create Your Farm<\/h3>\n

    Now that you have some Light Energy, it\u2019s time to set up your farm!The first step is to claim your free plot of land. Once you launch the Plant vs Undead Farm game, you can claim a free plot of land in your Inventory tab.<\/p>\n

    Every Plant vs Undead player gets free land to start out with. However, you need to purchase tools to begin farming:<\/p>\n
