Axie Infinity’s Smooth Love Potion continues to lose value but new crypto gaming project Calvaria is taking the market by storm.
Both the AXS token and Smooth Love Potion are down more than 95% from their all-time highs following a number of setbacks including the Ronin Bridge hack – which saw more than $600 million stolen from the ecosystem – the ongoing crypto bear market and a rapidly falling player base.
At its peak Axie had nearly 3 million monthly players and was by far the most played blockchain game but, according to DappRadar, the last 30 days have seen less than 200,000 players.
Axie Infinity Struggling
Whatever metric you look at Axie Infinity, the project has suffered to attract anywhere close to the level of interest it had in its 2021 peak.
The number of players is down, the value of its two tokens has cratered and the NFT Axies are also way down in price.
As mentioned above, there are numerous reasons the project has stalled and the future does not look bright for the ecosystem, despite its truly meteoric rise in 2021.
Calvaria – the Best Axie Infinity Alternative
One new play-to-earn gaming alternative to Axie is Calvaria, which has just launched the first stage of its presale.
The project, built on Ethereum, is a crypto project that wants to truly appeal to non-crypto gamers by making it more accessible to those unfamiliar with blockchain technology.
Calvaria to Launch Two Versions
Centered around a battle card game, Calvaria wants to speed up mass adoption of crypto by introducing a fun game, available on mobile on PC, that will appeal to all.
In fact, the developers will create two versions Calvaria, a play-to-earn game that utilizes blockchain technology and a totally free-to-play version that is easily accessible in app stores.
Whereas most blockchain-based games require investment in expensive NFTs and knowledge of other technology – such as crypto wallets – to even get started, Calvaria wants to entice non-crypto gamers into their main game in other ways.
The free-to-play game will have tools such as a visible lifetime tracker, which will show players how much they could’ve earned if they played the crypto game, while rewards can be earned for completing a gamified educational mode to learn about NFTs, crypto, and the blockchain.
What is Calvaria?
The game itself is a card battle game, set in the afterlife that sees different factions vying for supremacy that has been named among the best crypto games.
Each faction has its own agenda and design, while the game – unlike many card battle games – features a story mode.
Also unlike other battle card games, the game will be played in full 3D.
While the main game, Duels of Eternity, is still in development, two mini-games are already live and the NFT battleground game will go live soon.
Calvaria features a fully doxxed and experienced team and, built on lightning-fast blockchain Polygon, the project will later include staking a DAO for community-driven governance, an in-game store, and a scholarship system.
Calvaria Presale Details
The project is currently going through its presale with the native RIA token currently available for just $0.01 each.
There will be ten stages in total at increasing price points.
The Calvaria roadmap includes some exciting developments in the months to come including token launches KuCoin and Gate.io, the NFTs dropping at the end of the year.
Further down the line, there will be game expansions to keep players interested, comic books and an animated series and a VR arm to the Calvaria universe.
