What it is about
Welcome to Crypto Market Rivals Pull up a chair and try your hand at the market. Start with $100,000 in simulated funds, find a trading style that suits you, and see where your decisions take you. A rough run isn't the end of the story. There's always another approach to try. Crypto Market Rivals is a single-player trading game with roguelite adventures, lasting progression and a desk you can settle into. No real money is traded. Promotional artwork with actual gameplay captures. Find your way to play Market Universe: Explore 153 cryptocurrencies and 53 stocks in new simulated sessions. Follow BTC-led swings, sharp coin-specific moves and fictional headlines that may shake the tape—or barely register. Solo Lab: Learn the basics, adjust the difficulty, pause when you need a moment, and try a different plan. Time Machine: Choose from eight historical episodes, including the 2023 recovery and early 2025, and trade forward from your starting point. Wild Mode: Choose upgrades and contracts, build around changing conditions, and work toward the closing bell. Try The Last Shift, a short four-act story about rebuilding after a layoff through a simulated trading-desk evaluation. Give yourself someone to beat Want a little company at the desk? Challenge Mara Voss or Oren Vale in Solo, Time Machine practice or Wild Mode. Follow the race, enjoy a few cutting remarks, and give them a reason to stop smiling. Keep the banter sharp, make it lighter, or turn it off whenever you like. Rival challenges are optional and unranked. They don't change your campaign rewards, and the two desks may have different upgrades. Make the next run yours Grow your Rival Rank, follow Market Paths, collect cosmetic themes and keep your favourite moments in the Field Journal. Session Review helps you look back at your trades and decide what to try next. Daily challenges and replayable cases offer a starting point when you fancy something different.
