Meta Battler: The Horrors Tower
It’s not even been a week since we launched Meta Battler, but it feels like much longer than that. Already we have a vibrant community filled with great people, all competing and helping one another defeat the Meta Battler Tower.
If you haven’t played the game, give it a go here. If you have, nice one, we hope you’ve won some prizes!
So, we promised content galore. And this marks our first big update to the game. A brand to new tower to take on! And what could be more fitting, than a Tower dedicated to our first ever release on WAX.
You can find all The Horrors’ collections here. To date, the collections have sold over a whopping 11 million WAX, at the time of writing, just under an incredible $1.4 million (and at the time of writing, the market is baaaaad!)
So what are The Horrors?
The Horrors was the first release from us, Ultra Rare, an independent digital collectibles, comics and games company based in the North of England. Launched on January 10th 2021, The Horrors sold out in under 2 hours and went onto make well over $200,000 on the secondary markets, earning incredible value for traders and collectors alike.
The Horrors had a 100 card base-set, comprised of 50 A and 50 B cards. There were five sub-sets, denoted by colour and collection numbers. Cards 1–10 were the Horror Icons, classic monsters we all know and love. Cards 11–20 were the Movie Horrors, 21–30 UK Folklore Horrors, 31–40 Asian Horrors and 41–50 Horrors of the Americas. Cards also came in several rarities — each of which perfectly encapsulated the themes of the series, bringing new and fresh takes on the art.
The series contained well over 700 individual cards, including the highly illusive signed mythic cards and the fabled Artist cards — 6 unique pieces of 1/1 art.
Building a series of this magnitude was no mean feat, consisting of several months of hard work and thorough consideration. But it was worth it, as the series was quickly recognised as one of the highest quality projects on WAX, appealing to both casual and hardcore collectors alike.
At the outset, John and Richie promised to reward collectors. They kept their promise and then some. Following a giveaway of awesome Gold cards, Ultra Rare rewarded collectors in a unprecedented manner. For each completed variant, collectors were awarded an entire brand new subset — 20 Lovecraftian cards. This meant over 140 unique cards were given away as rewards. It was an incredible undertaking, completely dwarfing the rewards offered by any other project before.
And as a special bonus to mark the occasion, collectors will be able to use their Horrors Living Legends as avatars. You can find them here.
If you’re enjoying the game, you can support the project by buying a pack here.
