2. Realms of Alurya
An RPG game that is set in a fantasy world with 4 elemental biomes of Earth, Water, Fire, and Ice, Realms of Alurya gives players a chance to explore unique locations, dungeons, and make their own gear. It can be played in both PvP and PvE combat modes.
Players can battle monsters, collect loot, and earn tokens and NFTs. Realms of Alurya runs on the Ronin network. $SNG is the native in-game token used for purchases, staking, and governance.
3. My Neighbour Alice
For people who like games like Minecraft or Animal Crossing, My Neighbour Alice is a top choice in the blockchain space. It is a play-to-earn game that gives players a metaverse experience where they can buy VIRTUAL land, build houses, interact with animals, buildings, and wearables etc.
Players can take part in daily tasks like farming, fishing, and beekeeping to earn rewards. There is also an NFT marketplace where NFTs can be bought, sold, or customised as in-game assets and traded for profit. Participants can also earn passive income by staking ALICE tokens or lending NFTs to others.
4. Off the Grid
Off the Grid is a free-to-play shooter game that blends traditional battle royale-style gameplay with narrations. The premise of the game is set on an island called Teardrop, where players fight it out to collect resources, weapons, and NFTs before the match ends.
The game operates on the GUNZ subnet, which is a dedicated Layer 1 blockchain on the Avalanche Network. GUN token is the native crypto of this subnet that is used for transactions within the OTG ecosystem.
5. Axie Infinity
Axie Infinity is one of the most popular P2E NFT games in the space right now. It is described as a virtual world filled with creatures known as Axies, which can be collected, traded, battled, and used to mine tokens through games. There are a total of 11,441,055 Axie, each with its own NFT. The game operates on the Ronin network, an Ethereum-linked sidechain that is developed by the Sky Mavis studio.
The game has a lot of different modes, such as Origins, which is a card-based battle system where players can use their Axies’ abilities to defeat opponents; Classic, is the original battle mode with turn-based mechanics; and Homeland, a land-based gameplay mode that lets players build and manage their own land plots.
6. Engines of Fury
Another popular game in the P2E space is Engines of Fury. It is a shooter game set in a post-apocalyptic world where players can fight in PvP and PvE battles, hunt for resources, and much more. The blend of action-RPG with blockchain allows players to trade, own, and sell in-game assets.
Players in the game complete missions, scavenge loot, and engage in fights with AI mutants and other players. There is also a co-op mode where players can play with their friends and battle with other teams.
Play-to-earn games give players a chance to autonomously own their digital assets. Every character, weapon, outfit or item acquired in the game is an asset that can be sold or traded. This kind of decentralization rewards the time and skills put in by players.
