On September 25, 2026, the developer of Axie: DoM announced the addition of a new Guides tab to the game’s event hub, presenting it as a set of community-created guides handpicked by the DoM team [1]. The announcement says the guides cover topics from initial runs to full clears on floor 10, and also include fan art for the community. It also frames the tab as a resource for players stuck on fights such as the Kilnbane boss. That sounds useful in theory, but the post doesn’t say how guides are vetted, how often they’ll be refreshed, or why players should trust them. So far, the tone is promotional and the details are thin.

Bright Cartoon Art Style

Now let’s take a look at Axie: Den of Mysteries’s art style. The game uses a clean top-down cartoon style with pixel-art-like tiles and simplified sprites that read clearly at a glance. Your party consists of chibi animal heroes with oversized heads, while a large round boss stomps around in bulky mechanical armor. The overall feel is playful and bright, with crisp, colorful character silhouettes that are easy to read in the same lane as *Super Auto Pets*. It’s a smart, efficient character design low-key, even backed by a palette that knows exactly how much detail a tile needs.

Mixed Player Sentiment on Ronin System

Here’s what players are saying. Some players describe the turn-based dungeon crawling as fun, citing strong Mystery Dungeon influence [2]. Others compare the risk-to-earn key system to gambling and say they’re walking away [3]. Match length also draws criticism, with some reporting around twenty minutes instead of the promised five [4]. The key economy draws criticism too, as players say breaking even on each run is difficult [5].

We also checked video comments. We found all comments appear to be genuine reactions, questions, or feedback with no clear pattern of coordinated shilling or spam. [6]

Here’s how RON has been moving lately. Ronin had been climbing into the announcement, but it was still behind other gaming tokens. After the news hit, the price bumped up a little, but the larger trend is still weak: over the past 90 days, RON is up 5.9% while other gaming tokens are up 30.5%.

  • 30-day range: $0.04633 to $0.067
  • Past 90 days: +5.9% (vs. other gaming tokens: +30.5%)
  • Our wash-trading model finds minimal indicators, the lowest of its four risk bands for this token as of the 24th of September 2026, and we flagged it on none of the 26 days it scored [9]

Guides Tab Added to Axie: Den of Mysteries

That is the token picture for RON, and now for the news itself. The event hub adds a Guides tab that the developer says is filled with curated community strategies. That would be useful if the company explained how the curation actually works it doesn’t. One commenter joked that now their “floor ten failures look intentional” [7], which is a better line than the announcement deserves.

The DoM team picked six creators so far: @MukeGaming, @SkyRiver_17, @MangaRosa_y, @mitsuri_eth, @akiii345, and @ErinaBASE_. Each card has a thumbnail and a green arrow button to access the guide, according to the post. People in the replies are already saying “where the real axies live” on floor 10 [8]. Maybe, but a list of links is not the same as a serious system for helping players improve.

No more guessing supposedly.

Axie and Ronin System Details

Axie core team released the first battle system in October 2018. That system was an “idle battle” system, inspired by games like “Final Fantasy Tactics” and “Idle Heroes”. Classic, released in December 2019, grew the community from a few hundred to millions.

Ronin sidechain is based on proof-of-authority. This means all validators are operated by known, trusted parties. They do not have to do expensive work to prove they follow the rules.
