After the great success of the NFT game Axie Infinity, a number of other interesting NFT games are gradually appearing. Here are 13 names that will resonate in 2022.
GameFi, Play-to-Earn or NFT game are terms that describe a newly launched gaming category that has gained an edge over others thanks to the success of groundbreaking games like Axie Infinity. In 2021, Axie is essentially going from zero to 2.3 million daily players by the end of the year. During the same one-year period, the market value of Axie Infinity’s AXS token has skyrocketed from $0.57 to $75 at press time – a 150x increase in one year.
While Axie is the unmistakably perfect example of the burgeoning NFT gaming market, there are a few other games that enthusiasts and investors alike should keep an eye on.
According to Swedish YouTuber and NFT games expert Anders Björk, here are 13 NFT game projects working on different platforms like Ethereum and WAX that are worth watching and of course should be played in the coming year.
“I have a vision of fully functioning gaming economies where people make a living playing these games, having fun and living in virtual worlds. I think we’re getting closer to a reality where ordinary people can play games to make a living. This will change the world in ways no one could have imagined.”
According to Björk, all of the games on the list below are made by teams with strong track records and/or experience in the game development industry. The list is divided into 3 categories: fully playable games, alpha/beta versions and upcoming games.
The game is fully playable
Blank block party
Blockchain: Native Mythical, Bridge to Ethereum in Q1 2022
“Blankos is one of the best built NFT games, if not the best NFT based game out there. It feels smooth, fun and enjoyable to play, especially when you invite more friends and play together. You will be immersed in hours of exciting gameplay as well as complete map maker. There are three main game modes: PVP shooting, speed racing, and collecting game mode.
Splinterlands – card game
Blockchain: Beehive + WAX
Splinterlands was one of the first successful NFT games, originally called Steem Monsters. This game has been around for years and with the introduction of Lands and the Splinterlands token in recent months the game has grown to a new level. The game is free to play, so you can try it out before you buy any interesting cards or packs.
Mir4 – MMORPG
Blockchain: Native
Mir4 is a fully playable cross-platform massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) in which NFT-based characters are realistic. The game looks fresh and exciting, it may be fun at first but then you will enjoy reading reviews and listening to the people playing it. Unfortunately, it seems that mostly bots are playing the game and at the current stage token economies do not balance and pay to win. Mir4 appears on this list mainly because it is one of the most graphically interesting games out there. Mir4 is free to play on Steam so you can just try it and decide for yourself.
The Uplift World – Minecraft Mod
Blockchain: WAX
Uplift World follows an ingenious path when it comes to the NFT game genre. They took an interesting gaming platform and built NFT accessibility on top of it. Minecraft is a super hit game that has stood the test of time.
For The Uplift World, you can own NFT Land Keys to fully use a piece of land within the Minecraft server. They have a range of different servers with different rules and settings to please all types of players. By owning the Land Key NFT, you and the people you whitelisted are the only players who can build and mine on your land. So you can build your Minecraft dreams with many other players in a huge universe.”
Alpha and Beta versions
The Sandbox – Metaverse
Blockchain: Ethereum
The sandbox is possibly one of the largest and most well-known metaverses in the crypto world. Landowners in The Sandbox can create their own game and allow other players to come, join and play on it. There are many land purchase projects in The Sandbox that are still unclear what they will use it for.
There’s certainly an exciting future for The Sandbox with as many stakeholders as it has today. Big companies, projects and famous names like Binance, Atari, Animoca, Snoop Dog, Deadmau5, Flow, Opensea, WAX, Opera, Dappradar… are all built on this metaverse.
Phantom galaxies – Open world shooter
Blockchain: multichain/polygon
Bjork said:
“I haven’t played the game myself, but it looks very promising. So the ratings are based solely on my research on the game.”
Phantom Galaxies is an open world shooter in a space environment. There you control your character in a third-person perspective. Björk said he’s not a huge shooter fan, but Phantom Galaxies looks interesting and will definitely check it out once it’s released.
22 racing series – racing game
Blockchain: Phantasm
22 Racing Series reminds Björk a lot of the TrackMania empire. Speed and control are really smooth, but the 22 Racing Series map layout is all new and amazing. They are built on top of the Phantasma blockchain so they can do some really cool work with their NFT.
Each car in the 22 Racing Series game is a unique NFT. However, every part of the vehicle is also NFT. You can disassemble and customize your own vehicle and then sell that exact build to a new player.
Metropolis Origins – card game
Blockchain: WAX
Metropolis Origins is developed by a talented and experienced game development team. The game just came out and the alpha version is already playable on their website. All tokens are NFTs on the WAX Blockchain. Absolutely worth a try!
Million on Mars: Land Rush – Virtual World on Mars
Blockchain: WAX
Team Million on Mars has a lot of experience in the games industry and will probably develop and deliver one of the better casual games with NFT. The current rating is based on a limited alpha release that has some significant features, e.g. B. Adding multiple NFTs to the world at once. Currently, you can earn some NFT lands, pick a location on Mars, and build your base. You can explore the world, make coffee and collect game resources.
Clashdome citizens
Blockchain: WAX
Developed by a small game studio in Barcelona, Clashdome Citizens is a gaming platform with popular web games. Over the past year, the team has added many games Play-to-earn casual for every player. Now they just launched the alpha version of Clashdome Citizens, a play-to-earn game that ties everything together on their platform. You will be able to farm your NFT citizens, create a way to earn more in-game tokens, play against other players, etc.
Strange worlds United States of Americaevade
Blockchain: WAX
Alien Worlds is one of the biggest play-to-earn games out there, with hundreds of thousands of accounts to date. However, what most people don’t know is that the mining aspect is only the first step in the Alien Worlds roadmap as of the game’s current state. It’s an economic layer to distribute TLM tokens and lure people into the Metaverse. The Alien World Council is coming soon, which will have a DAO for every planet in the game, potentially having a huge impact on the Metaverse Alien World.”
Upcoming games
The Forge Arena
Blockchain: WAX
Forge Arena is the most entertaining NFT game I’ve ever seen. I’m someone who has played countless games in my life and this game feels like an epic match between Counter Strike and Quake (the first person shooter types). The developers say they are inspired by CSGO and Halo.
Warsaken – card game
Blockchain: WAX
Warsaken is a new style card game set to be released both digitally and physically. The NFT art is of high quality and the team seems enthusiastic about their project. Over youtube, you can watch a gaming video between one of the team members and his son. They are currently selling NFT for the game so you can have a full deck when the digital version of the game comes out.
