Axie Infinity Origins

Axie Infinity is developed by the Vietnamese game studio Sky Mavis and released in March 2018.

The game has made tremendous accomplishments since then, and some can even attribute the evolution of web3 gaming to its spark during the bull run. The new version of the game, Axie Origins, made it much easier for players to jump in and play to learn the ropes and try to get better.

Axie Origins grants players 3 starting Axies. Once you form your team with the synergies that suit your playstyle, it is time to form your deck of action cards you want to take with you into battle. Each Axie comes with its own four unique cards, giving you twelve total actions to outplay your opponent to claim the win. Although the game's enjoyment is in its PvP and competitive ranked ladder, the PvE experience is deep enough to keep you going without the need to interact with other players.
