What is Peridot from Niantic?
This is Peridot: Similar to Pokémon GO, Peridot is a game where you are supposed to use augmented reality.
The “Dots” join you in your everyday life and move through your phone’s camera in the real world. They are also supposed to be able to move behind objects, recognize the environment, and react accordingly.
You can get a brief overview here in the video:
What are Peridots? Peridots are small monsters that you can collect and raise. They are digital pets that can come in various shapes and colors. The developers describe the gameplay as a kind of “raising virtual pets without the responsibilities of a real pet” (via playperidot.com).
The breeding of Peridots is one of the key factors in the game. The breeding system gives you the opportunity to obtain different traits, looks, and rarities. This is a point that Pokémon GO lacks. Each Peridot is said to be “genetically unique,” according to Niantic. You can also play with other players to find unique combinations.
Otherwise, you take care of your Peridots and try to keep them happy and healthy. You have to feed them, play with them, and go on adventures. Along the way, you can gather the necessary resources or find new Dots in nests. As they grow, they will reach teenage and adult stages.
In addition, there should be daily and weekly quests with which you can secure rewards.
By the way, another game from Niantic is upcoming: Monster Hunter Now will also send you on a monster hunt.
