New crypto gaming project Calvaria has now raised nearly $1 million in its presale after attracting a slew of investors in the last week.
The project, which is currently in stage 3 of its 10-stage presale, is gathering a huge amount of buzz in the crypto space given its unique solution to solving two major issues of blockchain gaming.
While the huge potential of GameFi is undeniable, the space has continued to struggle to attract regular gamers.
The likes of Decentraland and The Sandbox may command market caps of more than $1 billion each, they had just 20,000 combined players in October, according to DappRadar.
Calvaria aims to solve two of the biggest issues in the GameFi space by making its flagship game - Duels of Eternity - not only available as a play-to-earn (P2E) game but as a free-to-play (F2P) version.
The developers believe that traditional and casual gamers have been put off by crypto games in the past because of the large initial outlay and technical knowledge needed to even play the game.
Players generally need to purchase NFTs and have knowledge of blockchain tech such as crypto wallets to even play games.
Calvaria believes the F2P version of Duels of Eternity will entice gamers into blockchain gaming more naturally.
First, there will be a visible tracker that shows how much players could have earned had they been playing the P2E mode over the F2P one.
There will also be gamified quests where players are rewarded for learning about blockchain technology and the space in general.
