Chainfood Studio has launched Evrloot, its dark fantasy RPG, on Polkadot's Moonbeam network. The game adopts a free-to-play structure that removes upfront costs and wallet requirements, letting players jump straight into the browser-based experience. As they advance, players can choose to integrate blockchain features, including the ability to upgrade their starter characters into exclusive NFT 2.0 versions.

More About Evrloot
The game takes place in a grim medieval fantasy setting and blends rogue-like mechanics with light MMO elements. One of its defining features is the use of soulbound ERC-6220 tokens, which function across multiple ecosystems and tie in-game items and characters directly to player progress. The launch version includes several core gameplay systems:
- Idle Missions: Characters can be sent on six-hour expeditions like fishing trips to gather rare materials.
- Crafting Loops: Collected resources such as fish and herbs combine to create consumables like health potions.
- Tactical Dungeons: Clearing dungeons lets players mint their progress on-chain.
- Native NFT Marketplace: A built-in platform for trading valuable gear and items.
New players join in-game clans linked to the affiliates who brought them into Evrloot. These clans build community ties and offer extra opportunities to earn points.
About Evrloot
Developer Vision and Community Growth
Chainfood Studio, a team of Polkadot enthusiasts, set out to rethink how NFTs function in games. The Evrloot community has grown to around 400 NFT owners, with the free-to-play model designed to accelerate that expansion. Tobi "Deckard" Amann, CEO of Chainfood Studio, explained the studio's approach:
"Our goal with Evrloot is to create an immersive and thrilling dark fantasy web3 world that prioritizes fun and player enjoyment, transforming the world into a canvas for its players. Through their in-game actions, players shape the story and forge the lore of this world. As RPG enthusiasts, creating a canvas like this has always been our dream – and with Evrloot, we've found an exciting and ethical opportunity to bring our vision fully on-chain."
Sicco Naets, Moonbeam's Head of Ecosystem Development, shared his perspective on the launch: "I am very excited to see Evrloot enter its next growth phase. Chainfood Studio has a very special game in Evrloot with a fiercely loyal community – moving to a free-to-play model will give them a lot more exposure and will allow a lot more players to discover what makes this game so special."
