“Eternal Crypt — Wizardry BC” is developed using blockchain technology from Drecom’s longstanding “Wizardry” franchise. It combines a straightforward clicker game with the strategic play style typical of RPGs. Sebastien Borget, COO and Co-founder of The Sandbox echoed the excitement, acknowledging Drecom’s industry leadership and the potential of introducing “Eternal Crypt — Wizardry BC” to a global audience through decentralized virtual worlds.
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 more simplified “cookie-clicker” format while preserving the strategic aspects that made the original popular. In the game, players take on the role of a guildmaster, 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’s possible to play the game without buying adventurer NFTs, owning these NFTs offers certain advantages. For instance, only a few adventurers can collect the elusive Blood Crystal. As a result, recruiting these specialized adventurers comes with a fee.
The partnership between The Sandbox and Drecom marks an essential step in the evolution of Web3 gaming. Both companies aim to use this collaboration as a springboard for future ventures that could redefine how games are played, experienced, and developed in the blockchain space.
