Not all NFT games are built the same; there are all sorts of genres and styles, making it hard to choose which ones to play. It is even harder to decide which type of game would be best suited for you. There are several ways to get your gaming enthusiasm fulfilled. Here are some of the top NFT games you can consider playing in 2023.
Axie Infinity
Developed by Sky Mavis, Axie Infinity is one of the longest-running blockchain games around. It is a Pokemon-inspired, open-ended digital pet universe built on the Ethereum blockchain, with the help of the Ronin side chain.
Users play with Axies, or fantasy creatures, that they can combat, collect and raise. These Axies are represented by NFTs, and each Axie has different traits that determine its role in the game. While it’s free to register, there is an initial payment involved: Players must purchase Axies first in order to start playing the game.
Gods Unchained
Gods Unchained is a free-to-play, blockchain-based fantasy card game, inspired by other trading card games like Magic: The Gathering and Hearthstone. Launched in 2019, the game is built on Immutable X — Ethereum’s first ZK-Rollup specifically for NFTs. It offers gas-free minting and instant trade confirmation, key features that improve the overall gaming experience.
Sandbox
The Sandbox is an open-world, voxel-based, free-to-play NFT gaming platform. Built on the Ethereum blockchain, it is reminiscent of other popular traditional web games like Minecraft and Roblox.
The Sandbox has three main components: a voxel editor (‘VoxEdit’), a marketplace, and the game itself. VoxEdit is a 3D tool that allows anyone to build their own voxel-based assets. The game has its own marketplace where users can freely trade and monetise their voxel assets, known as ‘ASSETs’.
DeFi Kingdoms
DeFi Kingdoms is a pixel-based fantasy role-playing game with a visual style and feel similar to Runescape. Originally built on Harmony ONE blockchain, DeFi Kingdom has migrated to its Crystalvale expansion on DFK Chain, an Avalanche Subnet. Its original Serendale realm relaunched on Klaytn on 21 November 2022. DeFi Kingdom is branded as a decentralized exchange (DEX), built with P2E mechanics and gamified elements on top of it.
Sorare
Sorare is a fantasy football game with collectible, tradeable soccer players from real life. You can create a five-player soccer team using either free cards for beginner players or purchasing tokenized cards. You can earn points to level up for every game you win, a goal you score, or other events you complete.
Conclusion
These are just a few popular NFT games there are countless other fun and engaging games offered in the market to try out. With the development efforts, venture funding, and mindshare that GameFi is receiving today, the NFT games space is expected to continue growing.
