Everyday you see an interesting implementation of NFTs popping up - or at least some cool design style that makes a collection stand out. The Legend Maps NFT collection has both, using 2D sketches of adventurers in a very old school game where your characters go on procedurally generated adventures.
The Legend Maps collection will appear to the old and new alike, but particularly to the former as the collection screams everything that players love about classic dungeon crawlers. We take a look at Legend Maps here, explaining the key details of the collection and what it is all about.
What is the Legend Maps NFT Collection About?
In its own words, Legend Maps is “an old school roguelike dungeon crawler utilizing ethereum blockchain NFTs.” The adventurers themselves are NFTs, as are the Founder Maps which are used to generate the dungeons that the adventurers will explore.
There are currently 8,787 adventurers and 5,757 Founder Maps, so there is certainly not going to be a shortage of player experiences. Legend Maps offers several ways to earn rewards for holding NFTs, which feed into the gameplay loop.

What Do You Get From Holding Legend Maps NFTs?
The team has put gameplay itself first, which is important if you’re trying to create a successful P2E game - a rare occurrence in the NFT space. Fortunately, there are several benefits to holding Legend Maps NFTs, including:
- Founder Map holders get presale access to future drops.
- Legend map holders can lend their Adventurers as mercenaries to earn rewards.
- Players earn rewards when their maps are traversed.
- Completing runs and improving your character also nets rewards.
- There is also a visitor-integration feature that allows NFT characters from other collections such as CyberBrokers, Azuki, and others to play the game without the need to hold the native Legend Map NFT.
Who’s Behind the Legend Maps Collection?
Currently, the team’s identity is anonymous, and the three members go by the pseudonyms of Thagoras, Grumbly, and Dubpace.
Bull Case:
- Legend map holders can lend their Adventurers as mercenaries to earn rewards.
- A robust gaming economy that generates gaming assets that are used to upgrade characters to improve the odds of winning. The game mechanics are modeled such that players are highly incentivized to reinvest the generated gaming assets back into the ecosystem, thus creating a self-sustaining and stable economy.
- The Legend map game also has a visitor-integration feature that allows NFT characters from other collections such as CyberBrokers, Azuki, etc. to be integrated and generate in-game characters to play the game without the need to hold the native Legend Map NFT. This is important to scale growth because it enables more players to be onboarded.
- Although the project is run by a pseudonymous team, it is led by developers who are keen on creating a fully functional roguelike game that is playable and fun.
Bear Case:
- P2E games have largely been unsuccessful in the NFT space.
- The team is anonymous.
