Not all NFT games are created equal. You can find them in different genres and styles to suit all tastes, so choose depending on whether you are looking to play or try to earn money. To make your choice easier, here are some of the best NFT games.
Gods Unchained
This is a strategic collectible card NFT game based on the “play to earn” model. This free-to-play game gives players full ownership of their in-game items, meaning they are free to sell, trade, or use their cards as they wish. New players receive 140 cards at the beginning to understand how to play.
Each card has unique abilities and is categorized by rarity, tribe, mana cost, god, and set. Mana is an attribute assigned to characters in role-playing or computer games that indicates the amount of energy used to cast special abilities or spells.
Some cards allow you to summon creatures, grant health to others, draw additional cards, and so on. Players can collect cards by buying them from other players or by winning PVP (player versus player) games. The idea of the game is to create decks that can fight with different tactics to outsmart your opponents. In PVP matches, you can win when you manage to reduce your opponent’s life to zero before they can do so. You gain experience for each victory. When the experience bar is full, you can get a new deck of cards and move on to the next level.
Gods Unchained is successful because it is free to play and because it uses NFTs to enhance its traditional ideas. The cards can be bought and sold, earning real money on the Immutable X crypto marketplace as well as in-game in the form of GODS tokens. GODS tokens are also used to merge and improve cards to create new rare versions or purchase card sets.
Alien Worlds
This is another representative of the “play to earn” model, which includes earning Trilium (TLM), which is used to gain control over Planet Decentralized Autonomous Organizations or Planet DAOs, as well as to access additional gameplay. It simulates economic competition and encourages players to participate in the election of council candidates or run for the planetary council.
In this meta-universe of non-fungible tokens, players can complete missions and unlock new NFTs, which can then be used to mine trillium or for battles. NFTs come in different rarity levels that determine their value in the game.
Axie Infinity
This game allows users to earn AXS tokens that can be used to control the platform. Players start by purchasing three digital Axies and raise them to eventually create generations of these creatures. Each Axie leaves a genetic imprint on its offspring, passing on its characteristics, weaknesses, and strengths. Ideally, players should try to create a rare breed of Axies with unique traits in order to get a good price for them on Ethereum NFT marketplaces where these creatures can be sold.
The game features standard modes such as quest, player versus player (PVP), and adventure – each of which brings Smooth Love Potion (SLP), a game token used to pay for breeding Axies. In many ways, Axie Infinity is a “normal” game similar to Pokemon, but because your Axies are registered on the blockchain, their rarity and value can bring you real money. To compensate for the market forces built into the game, Axie Infinity now has a free-to-play model, so players can join without having to pay, but their Axies have limited development.
Sorare
This is a soccer and baseball card game that allows players to create lineups and build strategies. Users can compete in weekly tournaments using trading cards that represent professional players. The game experience is based on real events and performances of the players in your deck. Cards are divided into four rarity levels that determine their value on the platform: limited, rare, super rare, and unique. Players own these NFT cards to trade them with other players or sell them on the open market.
