Momentum matters while releasing games, and Etherscape hit the ground running on the Epic Games Store. The Web3 game topped various charts on the platform as players flocked to the Enjin-based crypto game.This achievement comes only four days after Etherscape <a href="https://funjible.games/news/etherscape-on-enjin-launching-on-epic-games-store">launched on the Epic Games Store</a>, where it faced some of the fiercest competition in the gaming world. Being on Epic's home turf meant Etherscape would also battle with Web2 titles for a leaderboard spot, and it pulled through admirably.<figure class="image"><img src="https://assets.funjible.games/etherscape_dominates_epic_games_store_after_release_01_952b416917.jpg" alt="etherscape-dominates-epic-games-store-after-release-01.jpg" srcset="https://assets.funjible.games/thumbnail_etherscape_dominates_epic_games_store_after_release_01_952b416917.jpg 245w,https://assets.funjible.games/small_etherscape_dominates_epic_games_store_after_release_01_952b416917.jpg 500w,https://assets.funjible.games/medium_etherscape_dominates_epic_games_store_after_release_01_952b416917.jpg 750w,https://assets.funjible.games/large_etherscape_dominates_epic_games_store_after_release_01_952b416917.jpg 1000w," sizes="100vw"></figure>&nbsp;<h2>Domination in Multiple Categories</h2>&nbsp;Not only did Etherscape make it to the trending games list on Epic Games Store, but it also ranked first in the Dungeon Crawler category; second in MMO, Rogue-lite, and co-op categories; and third in RPG. Both crypto-natives and Web2 dungeon-crawler fans played a vital role in this accomplishment. Etherscape is also likely to benefit from <a href="https://enjin.io/multiverse">Enjin's Multiverse</a>, launching on August 27. At the center of this new feature lies a cross-game NFT system, allowing players to carry over certain items to ten games under Enjin's banner, and this number could grow.With these rankings in the bank, <a href="https://funjible.games/games/Etherscape">Etherscape</a> achieved one of the more coveted debuts in the Web3 scene. However, it can take more work to remain on top. Following this initial success, Etherscape will look toward rolling out new content and quality-of-life features promptly to ensure a high retention rate for its existing player base. In the meantime, many other titles in the crypto land will try to replicate this success in their own unique ways.<figure class="image"><img src="https://assets.funjible.games/etherscape_dominates_epic_games_store_after_release_02_f45b71de92.jpg" alt="etherscape-dominates-epic-games-store-after-release-02.jpg" srcset="https://assets.funjible.games/thumbnail_etherscape_dominates_epic_games_store_after_release_02_f45b71de92.jpg 245w,https://assets.funjible.games/small_etherscape_dominates_epic_games_store_after_release_02_f45b71de92.jpg 500w,https://assets.funjible.games/medium_etherscape_dominates_epic_games_store_after_release_02_f45b71de92.jpg 750w,https://assets.funjible.games/large_etherscape_dominates_epic_games_store_after_release_02_f45b71de92.jpg 1000w," sizes="100vw"></figure>&nbsp;<h2>Etherscape, the First One Through the Wall</h2>&nbsp;Etherscape's Epic Games Store performance also sets examples for aspiring game developers and upcoming titles in Web3. By competing effectively with traditional titles on a mainstream platform, Etherscape demonstrated that blockchain games can attract a diverse audience when made easily accessible.Quite a few crypto games have been integrated into established marketplaces, and the data clearly shows it's been helpful to bridge the gap between crypto-native and mainstream gamers. Prior to this practice, most games relied on players downloading their dedicated launchers or even side-loading clients to hop on board, creating an unnecessary barrier of entry.<figure class="image"><img src="https://assets.funjible.games/etherscape_dominates_epic_games_store_after_release_04_213a22cc3a.jpg" alt="etherscape-dominates-epic-games-store-after-release-04.jpg" srcset="https://assets.funjible.games/thumbnail_etherscape_dominates_epic_games_store_after_release_04_213a22cc3a.jpg 245w,https://assets.funjible.games/small_etherscape_dominates_epic_games_store_after_release_04_213a22cc3a.jpg 500w," sizes="100vw"></figure>&nbsp;While the Epic Games Store listing allows Etherscape to reach untapped player sources, there's another factor: the gameplay experience. This Diablo, Path of Exile-inspired adventure is easy to pick up, and it doesn't shove its crypto-centric features in players' faces. Instead, it focuses on delivering an engaging gaming experience first, allowing both crypto enthusiasts and traditional gamers to enjoy the game on their own terms. &nbsp;
