What is the Crypto Against All Odds game?

According to the game’s website, it is focused on “defense.” Instead of having non-fungible token (NFT) underpinnings like Decentraland’s virtual land, Crypto Against All Odds claims to pit crypto defenders against threats including hackers and ransom seekers.

The game seems to have taken a leaf out of real-world happenings where cyberattacks have been ailing the blockchain space. Inside of Crypto Against All Odds is what it calls a “FUD army”.

The defenders use their cryptocurrency holding to mount a formidable attack against these antagonists. The Crypto Against All Odds game claims that cryptos like Bitcoin, Ether and Litecoin can be used by players.

The game further states that the price fluctuation in these cryptocurrencies has an impact on the powers of players, for example, if the asset is appreciating, the player can earn more fiat cash.

When did Crypto Against All Odds begin?

Developed by Pictagor Studio, the Crypto Against All Odds game released in March last year, according to the game’s website. Prime Gaming has now added it to its platform.

Popular blockchain games

Crypto Against All Odds seems to have completely different features than games like Axie Infinity. In the latter, the native token AXS is used to purchase Axie characters that are digital assets and can be traded on NFT exchanges like OpenSea. On games like Decentraland, digital land is available as NFTs, and the holders can monetize these digital assets.

That aside, blockchain games make some of the most popular cryptocurrencies today. The tokens AXS, MANA, and SAND feature in the top 50 cryptos by market cap. As of writing, the three were trading in the green. The entry of brands like Adidas and Samsung in the metaverse space is also adding to blockchain gaming’s appeal.

Bottom line

Crypto Against All Odds appears unique as it allows the gamers to utilize their crypto holdings inside the game. This may put cryptos like Bitcoin and Ether to a new use. With time, it may become clear if the game would have its own native token like AXS is to Axie Infinity.

The theme of Crypto Against All Odds is defense against adversaries including scammers and the infamous 51% attack. How Crypto Against All Odds and Amazon’s Prime Gaming collaboration attracts gamers makes for an interesting watch.
