What is Eternal Crypt – Wizardry BC?
Eternal Crypt – Wizardry BC combines the classic elements of the original Wizardry series with blockchain technology, a new direction in gaming. The game shifts from its role-playing game (RPG) roots to a simpler ‘cookie-clicker’ format, while retaining the strategic aspects that made the original popular. In the game, players take on the role of a guild master, assembling a team of skilled adventurers to defeat enemies and delve deeper into dungeons in search of a rare item called ‘Blood Crystal’.
While it is possible to play the game without purchasing adventurer NFTs, owning these NFTs offers certain benefits. For example, only a few adventurers can collect the elusive Blood Crystal. As a result, there is a cost associated with recruiting these specialized adventurers.
The collaboration between The Sandbox and Drecom marks an essential step in the evolution of Web3 gaming. Both companies aim to use this partnership as a springboard for future ventures that could redefine the way games are played, experienced and developed in the blockchain space.
