Early Access Game

Get instant access and start playing; get involved with this game as it develops.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We'd like to shape Crypto Market Rivals with the people playing it. Early Access gives us room to improve the balance, guidance, accessibility and variety while you explore the game and tell us what feels good.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We currently expect Early Access to last around 12 months. That estimate may change as development and player feedback guide the work.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“We plan to add more scenarios and ways to build a run, and continue improving the presentation, accessibility and overall experience. Plans may change; this is not a promise of specific future features.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Market Universe, Solo Lab, eight Time Machine episodes and Wild Mode are playable. New sessions include lively crypto markets and The Last Shift, a short story about starting over. Grow a local career, review your trades, and keep a backup of your progress. The current Steam build focuses on offline single-player.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“We plan to keep the base game free during Early Access and at full release. Any future optional content would be described separately and would not offer competitive advantages.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Share your thoughts in the Steam Community or send feedback after a session. We'd love to hear what you enjoyed, where you got stuck, and what would make the next run more fun. You choose what to share.”

About This Game

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 campaigns and lasting progression. No real money is traded.

Find your way to play

  • Market Universe: Explore 153 cryptocurrencies and 53 stocks in new sessions. Follow BTC-led swings, sharp coin-specific moves and fictional global headlines that the market may embrace or shrug off.

  • 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 2023 The Rebuild and 2025 Crosscurrents. Trade forward from your starting point.

  • Wild Mode: Choose upgrades, meet fictional rivals and work toward the closing bell. Try The Last Shift: a layoff notice, bills on the table, and four simulated sessions to earn a junior trading-desk seat.

Someone to beat

Challenge Mara Voss or Oren Vale in Solo, Time Machine practice or Wild Mode. Choose Sharp, Light or Off for their commentary. These optional rival races are unranked and don't change campaign rewards.

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.

Pause offline practice, adjust text size and sound, and play at your own pace. Trade receipts show your actual fill price and fee; optional rival setup stays tucked away until you want it. Local friend result codes let you compare unranked runs.

Your first few minutes

New to the desk? Start with Solo Lab, or try The Last Shift for a short comeback story. Check your trade size and cost in the order panel before placing an order. Use Save now to keep a checkpoint, and Exit game when you're ready to step away.

Before you start

Offline play needs no game account. Saves stay on your computer; back up a valued career before updating. Existing saved runs and Classic challenges keep their original markets.

All trades use simulated funds. Time Machine uses historical price references; other modes use generated prices. This is a game, not financial advice. Balances and rewards have no cash value.

The game is in development. We'd love to hear what you enjoy and what could be clearer.

AI Generated Content Disclosure

AI tools assisted portions of the pre-produced artwork, text, development code, and audio-production scripts. Music and sound effects use procedural synthesis. No AI content is generated during gameplay, and the Windows game does not connect to an external AI service.
