What is a disaster?

Calamity is a 2D top-down action RPG inspired by genre-defining titles like World of Warcraft and Diablo, where players immerse themselves in a vast world and engage in both PvE and PvP modes. PvE dungeons see players clearing waves of increasingly difficult enemies for greater rewards, while PvP arenas offer competitive combat involving duels and skirmishes.

The game features a unique class system that directly links a player’s role to their chosen weapon, allowing them to seamlessly switch between warrior, archer, and wizard classes.

The player-driven economy is at the core of the gameplay, with items being bought, sold, or traded via the auction house. Equipment is further enhanced by repairing, scrapping, or merging items at the forge, and the gem system allows for further customization of equipment.

The game also features NFTs called Artifacts, which provide in-game benefits such as increased experience and loot.
