NFTwars

Overview

NFTwars is the first idle RPG built on the Radix Babylon network. The game lets players use their existing Radix NFTs as playable heroes — fighting through PvE campaigns and competing against other players in the arena. It was built to unite multiple Radix NFT communities on a single platform, giving NFT holders a new utility for their assets beyond trading.

NFTwars received backing from the Radix 250M XRD Ecosystem Fund, securing both an MVP Booster and a Launch Booster grant to support development and launch.

Gameplay Modes

Campaign Mode (PvE)

Players progress through five distinct areas, each containing four dungeons of increasing difficulty. Each dungeon presents themed enemy teams that must be defeated to unlock the next stage. Campaign mode is the primary path for levelling up NFT heroes — as they gain experience, they become stronger and more effective in arena combat.

Arena Mode (PvP)

In arena mode, players assemble a team of three heroes and battle against squads from other players. Wins advance the player through ranked leagues — Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum — with larger rewards at higher divisions. Arena provides ongoing competition and a leaderboard-driven incentive to keep playing.

Persistent Progress

One of the notable design decisions in NFTwars is that hero experience is stored on the NFT itself. A levelled-up hero retains its stats even when transferred or sold — meaning experienced heroes carry added value in secondary markets, and buyers acquire the hero's battle history along with the asset.

Integrated NFT Collections

NFTwars integrates seven Radix NFT collections as playable heroes:

• Radorables
• Pyros World
• Radical Penguins
• Radical Robos
• Abandoned Scorpions
• Radish Harvests
• Water Bears

Each collection contributes a distinct visual identity and hero class to the roster. Players who hold NFTs from any of these collections can connect their Radix wallet and immediately begin playing without any additional purchase.

Radix Integration

NFTwars uses the Radix Engine's native asset model to read and modify NFT data directly on-chain. Because Radix NFTs are first-class ledger objects — not EVM-style mappings — the game can attach experience data to each token and query it without relying on centralised indexing. This is a direct application of Radix's asset-oriented programming model to gaming.

Wallet connection is handled through the Radix Wallet, which displays the player's NFT holdings and surfaces them as selectable heroes in-game.

Ecosystem Impact

As of the time of writing, NFTwars has recorded over 55,000 in-game NFT battles, with more than 200 unique Radix wallets connected and over 500 Radix NFTs actively used as heroes. These metrics represent one of the most active real-usage deployments of NFT utility on the Radix network.

The game's selection as a Launch Booster winner alongside Root Finance and Selfi Social reflects its standing as one of the ecosystem's high-potential projects during the Babylon launch window.
