In Lost Relics is adventure role playing game in which you venture in dungeons filled with monsters and traps looking for NFT items. An ambitious project released in 2019, but with new projects coming out every week and big studios joining the NFT gaming space, does Lost Relics stand a chance, and is it still worth playing the game?
What is Lost Relics?
Lost Relics, previously know as Forgottern Artifacts, was released on May 23rd 2019. Players were able to play the pre-alpha version and start collecting NFTs on this Enjin play to earn ARPG!
Cliff Cawley, the one-man army developing the game had the vision before anyone else. Developing a play to earn game that was looking like diablo or torchlight and introducing NFT items way before it became the big trend it is now.
In this game you go into dungeons filled with monsters and traps and have to survive and find the exit!
In each dungeon there will be chests that can have gold or shadowstones, two of the game virtual currencies or virtual items.
Gold is used mostly to buy items like food from other players to heal your character while in a dungeon! Shadowstones can be used to buy items from the game’s marketplace. This marketplace allows players to trade blockchain items directly in-game, without any gas fees.
So, when you go to the marketplace, the Emporyum, you can either buy virtual items with gold or NFTs with Shadowstones.
Since you can’t see other players this is one of the only way right now to interact with them. The other is through the global chat system. In the future Cliff already mentioned that we’re going to have co-op dungeons!
In order to get started in Lost Relics you just need to go to their website, register and wait. If you don’t want to wait you can always buy a 7-day pendant that will give you instant access to the game. Pendants give you lots of benefits like access to premium dungeons for example! Worth to invest in one if you’re playing the game frequently!
This project has been receiving new updates where we’ve been seeing new maps, new monsters, new professions and new items!
Four months ago everything changed for Lost Relics and there’s the rumor that a brand new BIG update would come out really soon!
Lost Relics lost a bit the hype that it once had when it was released and we’re seeing new projects in NFT Gaming getting much more traction than Lost Relics, despite being around for 2 years.
I believe there are multiple reasons why this happened.
Bad play-to-earn mechanics
The first one is that the play-to-earn mechanics are not well thought. I’ve spent countless hours grinding in Lost Relics dungeons and my NFT collection in this game is worth 68 enjin, that’s around 88 USD if I’m able to sell all my items.
It’s very rare that an NFT drops while exploring a dungeon, and if it does, they are usually worth not more…
