Enjin Wallet

The game will require you to link your Enjin wallet during setup and will verify asset ownership to play.


SpacePirate Games has announced that Age of Rust, one of the most highly-anticipated blockchain games to date, will launch March 19. 

The game’s Steam wishlist has been officially opened, and players that join will have a chance of uncovering the nearly $1 million worth of crypto bounties hidden within the 250,000km2 digital universe.

Formed in 2014, SpacePirate initially launched a text-based cryptographic puzzle game that gained notoriety amongst cypher punks in the formative years of the blockchain movement.

After a resounding success with this early proof of concept, the team set out to build a AAA-quality 3D RPG intended to become a fun way to educate gamers about Bitcoin and blockchain.

“When we first started working on Age of Rust, we decided to do a crypto treasure hunt and set aside 24 BTC, which was worth around $20,000 at the time. We had no idea that it would grow to become such a huge bounty so fast,” said Chris LoVerme, CEO of SpacePirate Games.

Every player will have an equal chance to find the main 20 BTC (~$655,000) bounty at the end of the three seasons, with another 4 BTC and 35,000+ smaller bounties to win along the way.

Since joining Enjin, SpacePirate and other game developers have locked over 10 million ENJ inside high-functioning NFTs like those that can be earned playing Age of Rust. 

ENJ recently made headlines after being approved for use in Japan by JVCEA, the Japanese cryptocurrency exchange regulatory body. 

Players interested in joining the crypto treasure hunt can add Age of Rust to their Steam wishlist here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1461520/Age_of_Rust/ 

Enjin has had a remarkable start to the year 2021, with the popular blockchain gaming cryptocurrency about to go live on a major Japanese exchange and more and more partnerships and projects announced.

We have said from the beginning that Enjin is one of the most exciting projects to keep an eye on over the next few years.

BETA Review First Impressions (SPOILERS)

The game is still very much in BETA and there are many bugs to fix. This makes the game somewhat difficult to play although there were a few highlights so far.

The beginning of the game has a MYST like feel, where you need to explore your immediate surroundings to find clues to solve puzzles.

Moving and jump mechanics still very much need a polish. Combat mechanics are also unfinished.

The highlight of the run was getting to use Enjin multiverse items that I’ve had in my wallet for over a year, including the ForgeHammer, Epochrome Sword, APG-M55, Oindrasdain, and Stormwall.

Each item took on it’s own appearance in the game, not even necessarily with the look of the item as seen in the Enjin Wallet.

You can see that many of the items are interpreted or represented in a totally new way, especially the Stormwall. This item may provide some sort of defensive property since it is a “shield” item for example.

We’ll come back and update this post once the game is released on Steam in a more polished format.
