Playing Hash Rush means that you own a planet! A whole brand-new unexplored planet with mines and deadly secrets seems the ideal place to call "home". Ernacks are the hard-workers of Hash Rush, they are responsible to mine crystals for you, you only have to build the crystal mine and give the order, once they return, special rewards will be awarded to you.

You have to protect your colony and mines from domestic threats and other players, so you have to be prepared for battle! Not all Ernacks are workers, some of them feel the need to become fearless warriors, unaffected from emotions under your orders. Gathering resources is the key to success, your workers can gather wood, food, stone, ore, and fireflies. All of the above resources are needed for building upgrades, feeding the colony and other special actions required in the game. Once enough Logs (wood) and Rough Stone are gathered, you can start building among 15 structures of all types. Barracks, Crafting, Defending, houses, name it and it's there.

While you progress in the game your stats will become higher and new unlocks will be available, including your mining (crystal gathering) power. Once you log out, like any online game your base is still vulnerable to external attacks, the workers still gather crystals, so log out means brb. It's mandatory to upgrade your colony with the latest technology available and keep everyone on the clock, otherwise, your Ernacks will become ex-Ernacks. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KXuk80_qoQc

A story meant to be told

Υou would probably agree that Venezuela offers a higher standard of living than the Hermeian galaxy, which, by the way, experienced a tremendous disaster known as the "Crypto Storm". The whole civilization and all 3 factions wiped out in a blink of an eye destroying every hope from the few survivors. Before the Crypto Storm, Ernacks used to be humans but now they are thugs, Elves were nobles and immortals but they are now divided into rich and poor dark magic sorcerers.

Today, Elves are purchasing Crystals from the black market, at extremely expensive prices as the only way to live forever, since the crystals are somehow necessary to keep their current health status. Hermein galaxy does not provide the same opportunities to everyone, Ernacks (Humans) became thugs, stealing from the allies who abandoned them during the Crypto Storm while in the Rustaria planet, the Marauders faction, who were once successful traders experienced a devastating solar flare, the few left alive went underground and until today, they are fighting for revenge.
