# How To Get Started

HodlGod is free to play and does not require you to have a WAX Wallet to play. But if you want to be earn some NFTs and some VOID, you will need to [create](/hodlgod/play-to-earn/wax-wallet.md) a WAX Wallet and [link it](/hodlgod/play-to-earn/wax-wallet.md) to the game. This will allow you to benefit from the [Play-To-Earn](/hodlgod/play-to-earn/how-to-earn.md) aspects of HodlGod.

#### Understanding your Game Controls

Hodlgod is played with your [swords](/hodlgod/game/gameplay.md), your [bow](/hodlgod/game/gameplay.md), and your [spells](/hodlgod/game/spells.md). Make sure you read our [Gameplay](/hodlgod/game/gameplay.md) section or [watch our tutorial](https://youtu.be/RUn3bMIPoSI) to learn how to get the maximum out of what the game has to offer.

#### What can you Earn in HodlGod ?

You can also equip [badges](/hodlgod/play-to-earn/how-to-earn/badges.md) that will grant you [extra rewards](/hodlgod/play-to-earn/how-to-earn/badges/bonuses.md) every time you pick up one of the [drops](/hodlgod/play-to-earn/how-to-earn/nft-drops.md).

{% hint style="warning" %}
