New Sci-Fi Game Age of Rust Launches Open Beta with Crypto Rewards

If you are good at solving puzzles and want to earn free crypto, then you need to be looking at Age of Rust powered by Enjin. It's a first-person adventure game with a play-to-earn model where players solve puzzles to progress. Plus, users of this blockchain game can collect in-game NFTs and earn bounties for solving puzzles.

The play-to-earn game is split into three seasons and the Open Beta Test for Season is now on Steam.

Age of Rust is Full of Backstory and Lore

Age of Rust is a dark sci-fi adventure guaranteed to capture your attention and make you think for hours because of its extremely detailed storyline.

In the game, you'll play as Quinn. He is the most prolific weaponized cipher-hackers of the 22nd century, sequenced and stored away for the future. Now he is being brought back because AI robots have turned into brutal machines. So as Quinn, you'll have to use your complex puzzle-solving skills to progress in the game.

Gameplay

The game started as a basic tech adventure run by a single developer. Then, it blossomed into one of the most anticipated and in-depth games in the space. In 2018, Age of Rust was selected to join the Early Adopters Program from Enjin.

The gameplay requires you to solve puzzles, explore vast areas and, if you are lucky, find crypto or NFT treasures. Certain places you travel to are either exploratory, where you seek clues to puzzles and mysteries that unlock other areas or clues to the treasure in the game. Some of these puzzles are complex and difficult to solve. Others are progress-based, where you unlock a door to head to somewhere you haven't been yet.

Play-to-earn Component: NFT Treasures and CryptoBounties

As from the superb graphics and narrative, the game is attracting attention because it utilizes Enjin Coins and Bitcoin. Players are not required to buy tokens to play and yet, they can earn free crypto in-game. That being said, certain tokens will be required to finish high-level puzzles.

The beta version on Steam was launched with an in-game bounty hunt for Bitcoin and Enjin worth over $1 Million. 24 BTC and 370,000 ENJ tokens were hidden in the game at the start of development but since prices have exploded, they are worth a lot more now.

The ability to claim the main part of the treasure - 20 BTC - will be unlocked at the end of the game's third season. Meanwhile, 4 BTC and the ENJ tokens are available in an ad hoc manner if you can solve the puzzles tied to them.

Age of Rust features blockchain assets (using Enjin on Ethereum) for game items. These game items are crypto items that are stored on a player's wallet independent of the game. Over 10 million ENJ tokens have been incorporated into in-game NFTs. These NFTs can be burnt to extract their underlying value or traded on marketplaces.
