What’s so interesting about KraBots?

The “Kra” in KraBots most likely derives itself from “crafting.” In essence, the game allows you to collect a lot of non-fungible token (NFT) parts and then combine them to make your virtual robots. You can then use these robots to join combats. What’s most interesting is that the battles are physics-based. If you win, you earn tokens.

Aside from having physics-themed battles, Krabots is also a place for dog and cat lovers. It’s essentially a role-playing game (RPG) where you, the player, are an engineer living in Krasopolis. Krasopolis, in turn, is a city whose residents are cats and dogs.

The KraBots Workshop

If your robot has managed to be a beast when it comes to winning physics-based battles, you could potentially sell it through the Workshop. This would be another great way to use your physics ingenuity to earn money.

What parts will the Krabots have?

Your Krabots will have four basic parts, namely, the Driver, the Body, the Weapon, and the Wheel. You can collect as many of these parts as you want. Then, you can design your KraBot according to how you want them to perform.

Exciting and unpredictable game outcomes

KraBots sets itself apart by promising unpredictable outcomes. If you think about it, “unpredictable” is highly likely here, considering how your opponents would use their genius to craft unique robots, too.

To increase your chances of winning more combats, you might want to build a versatile robot that can attack in as many clever ways as possible.

How to Get KraGold and KraCoin

Like mainstream games, KraBots also has its own in-game economy. KraGold is the in-game currency you’ll earn while playing KraBots. You may participate in Campaign battles, which are essentially on a PvE (player versus environment) game mode. You may also join Arena battles, which are set up to be on a PvP (player versus player) Ranking mode.

If you win enough KraGold, you can use them to open boxes and upgrade your robot parts. 

Meanwhile, KraCoin ($KRAC) is the game’s governance token. You can get KraCoins via the Marketplace or by winning Tournaments and BossRaids. You can use your KraCoin to vote on changes in the game or for the direction in which it should go. Once enabled, staking will also be available for KraCoin.

When can I start playing KraBots?

Good question! KraBots will be fully available to play soon on Windows 10, iOS, and Android devices. You can also test its free-to-play open beta on Android and on Testflight for iOS.

Will you be willing to test out this game?

If yes, feel free to let us know how you find it in the comments down below. Stay tuned in the coming weeks, too, as we test out all the interesting things about KraBots as we play them.

For July 2022, the reward pool is set to a whopping 1,800,000 TOWER tokens. The more XP (experience points) you gain in the game, the more TOWER tokens you can earn.

Get this Crazy Defense Heroes Elite Badge NFT

The game creators have teased out an initial design for the Elite Badge NFT. Players who get to the top 10% in terms of the highest XPs gained will get this exclusive badge. If you belong to these top 10% of players, your badge could be displayed in the upcoming TOWER blockchain PC game.

By the way, you can avail of this reward starting from July 2022 onwards.

Reward Pools for July and August

There will be three reward tiers for July and August 2022. Tier 1 requires 315,000–450,000 XP. If you get this much XP, you will get your share of the 900,000 TOWER token reward pool.

Meanwhile, Tier 2 requires 450,000–600,000 XP. Players reaching these numbers will enjoy a prize pool of 600,000 TOWER. The TOWER tokens are much less, but that’s because there will be fewer players who’ll get to the second tier. It’ll be much more challenging to get to Tier 2.

Finally, players who get 600,001 XP and up will share 300,000 TOWER. Plus, each one who will get to the top 10% of players will have one Elite Badge NFT.

Crazy Defense Heroes Avatar Levels and XPs

What does 315,000 XP look like?

Every time you win a battle in Crazy Defense Heroes (CDH), you will need to gain experience points (XP). Certain XPs are required for you to progress from one avatar level to the next.

Hint: If you don’t plan on buying extra lives or gems or maps, and all you want is to play for free, then you can get one avatar level higher per day. At least that’s been my experience so far.

Suppose you started at Avatar Level 20 in July 2022. That’s equivalent to 250,000 XP. To gain 315,000 XP more—that is, to qualify for Tier 1 of TOWER rewards—you’ll need to have 250,000 + 315,000 XP = 565,000 XP in total. And that’s equivalent to Avatar Level 29.

And, given the hint I gave you a while ago, Avatar Level 29 looks like it’s doable in just 9 days.

That means you can aspire for more. You can gain more than 450,000 avatar XP within the month. If you do that, you can earn your share of both Tier 1 and Tier 2 Reward Pools. 

What’s crazy (in a very good way) is that you can earn TOWER from all the 3 Tiers if you gain more than 600,000 avatar XP!

If you want to be geeky, you can see this table some Crazy Defense Heroes fans have made to learn how much XP you’ll have to gain to reach certain avatar levels and vice versa. There’s even a calculator!

What is Crazy Defense Heroes?

Crazy Defense Heroes is a tower defense and card strategy game. It’s free to play on iOS and Android but it also has play-to-earn mechanics, which I’ve just described roughly above. That is, if you earn TOWER from this game, you can exchange it for other crypto or even real-world fiat currency.

Produced by Animoca Brands, Crazy Defense Heroes is promising when it comes to giving players earning potential and game satisfaction. Initially, I thought it was just a game for lazy players. But, it turns out it can be pretty challenging as you reach higher avatar levels and you won’t opt for the auto-play.

Start playing Crazy Defense Heroes today and let us know what you think of it!

The post Crazy Defense Heroes Includes NFTs in July XP Gain Reward Pool appeared first on NFT Game Info.

In this article, we’ll give you an overview of three action-packed play-to-earn titles running on Enjin, what’s fun in them, and how you might be able to earn from them.

1. Space Misfits

The title alone will bring your imagination to new heights, especially if you’re a space exploration junkie. As a science fiction (SciFi) game, Space Misfits give you a peek into what it is to fight space battles, explore galaxies, and hunt for scarce resources.

Space Misfits is also in 3D and in the massively multiplayer online (MMO) game genre, so it’s quite thrilling. Plus, you’d be glad to know it’s free to play. You can download the game and start playing it right away.

How to earn from playing Space Misfits

By playing Space Misfits, you get to earn BITS—its in-game currency. In future releases, you will be able to exchange BITS with ERC20 tokens.

If you explore this game now, you can also earn an assortment of NFTs along with exciting in-game drops. Its Beta version is already downloadable on PC and Mac.

2. Lost Relics

From exploring the worlds above, you could jump right onto the ground on a quest for finding Lost Relics. This action-adventure role-playing game (RPG) combines scouring the dark for precious relics and saving the townsfolk from ferocious beasts.

All the assets here are Enjin items, plus they’re limited in supply. 

How to play and earn from Lost Relics 

Right now, Lost Relics does not have any tradable token. You will have to scour through the dungeon to find non-fungible token (NFT) items, which you can then sell in the marketplace.

For example, if you found a mythical inferno blade, you can possibly trade that for $600. Note, however, that rare NFTs are scarce. Consider it a bonus of playing a fun ARPG.

Another way to earn from this game is to find Shadowstones in a dungeon. A hundred of these Shadowstones would be equivalent to 1 ENJ (the Enjin coin), which you can then trade for other cryptocurrencies.

3. Kingdom Karnage

What about a turn-based and interactive combat NFT game? Kingdom Karnage belongs to such a genre, inviting you to be strategic in the way you choose your cards in battle.

With multiple game modes available, you can explore dungeons, conquer factions, or go ahead toe to toe with the PvP (player versus player) mode.

This game is already available to play on your browser, on your Android device, and on Steam. By the way, both the equipment and characters here are NFTs.

How to earn from playing Kingdom Karnage

Did I mention that Kingdom Karnage is also free to play? The better news is that it’s also play-to-earn. As you play, you can earn gems and convert them to cards. You can then sell the cards on the Enjin Jumpnet Marketplace.

But that’s not all. Kingdom Karnage also has a token called KKT. It’s their in-game currency. At the time of writing, it’s equivalent to 0.0032 USD. You can reap KKT rewards as you progress in playing Kingdom Karnage.

Try these best Enjin NFT games for free

Looks like we’re really into action-packed games in this piece! 

By the way, every single one of the play-to-earn (P2E) games above has a free-to-play version or at least doesn’t need you to invest in a blockchain asset before you get to play.

Of course, like most games, buying a few upgrade items can sometimes help you advance to the next level, increase your winning chances, and eventually boost your earning potential.

If you wish to explore other play-to-earn games from other blockchains and game ecosystems, you can check out our previous P2E guides and reviews here.

What’s in the Gala Games Town Crush Challenge?

The Town Crush Challenge: June (July) Mayhem and its rewards are open to Gala Gold members. If you’re one of them, you can crush your way to your share of $400k rewards. This GALA reward pool will grow by $50 each time an Egg Storage building is sold.

If you’re joining the challenge, you have until July 8, 12 pm PT to complete all 12 levels of Town Crush. 

Upgrade to a Gala Gold status

To be eligible to share in the rewards of the Town Crush challenge, you need to be a Gala Gold member of Gala Games. 

Can you play Town Crush even if you’re not yet a Gala Gold member?

Good question. Interestingly, the answer is yes. You can do your best to crush all 12 levels and then upgrade right away to Gala Gold membership before the challenge ends.

That is, if you succeed before July 8, you can then decide to upgrade and pay $50 for a lifetime membership, since you’ll reap a share of GALA rewards anyway. By the way, as of this writing, 50 USD is about 956 GALA, as you can see below.

Exciting ways to win in the Town Crush Challenge

To get more lives (hearts) and play some more after failing, you might want to purchase some Bag o’ Stars from the Gala Games store. By the way, you need to use the TOWN token.

You can then buy a lot of lives using your Bag o’ Stars and proceed to win all Town Crush levels.

Or, if you want, you can purchase an Egg Storage building for Town Star, and then use it to store 40 Eggs. If you own an Egg Storage, you’ll get two extra Eggsecutioners per Town Crush round. Again, you can only use TOWN to buy an Egg Storage.

What is Town Crush?

In a way, you could describe Town Crush as the blockchain game version of Candy Crush. Gala Games launched Town Crush in April 2022, hoping to test their new blockchain, the Gala Chain.

Basically, Town Crush is a “match 3” type of game. That is, you mix and match three items until you get the same type together. The items in Town Crush are from Town Star, which includes fruits, crops, special equipment, and buildings.

When you play Town Crush and complete levels, you can earn an on-chain token called TEST. That name literally points to how Gala Games uses Town Crush to test its Gala Chain.

What is Gala Games?

Gala Games is a blockchain gaming ecosystem that integrates non-fungible tokens (NFTs) with games. Part of its mission is to bring back the power to the players and give them freedom through play.

This gaming platform is home to some of the most thrilling play-to-earn titles. These include Mirandus, The Walking Dead: Empires, and Town Star.

The post Gala Games Town Crush Challenge Opens with a Whopping $400k Prize Pool appeared first on NFT Game Info.

In this article, we’ll unpack these terms and give you a few samples of which games belong to which categories.

Let’s get it on!

What is play-to-earn in blockchain gaming?

Play2Earn means what it says exactly: you play a game to earn from it. Some games have evolved to “play and earn,” which means the primary experience isn’t just about the earning potential. It’s also about enjoying the game itself.

Top play-to-earn games

We’ve already covered a lot of play2earn games, but we’ll talk about two popular ones here and see how they’re allowing you to “earn.”

Axie Infinity

Undoubtedly, Axie Infinity is one of those games you hear about all the time. But, it’s always worth mentioning this game. It’s still alive and well, and yes, it’s evolving.

With play-to-earn games, one essential factor is what you’d call game “tokens.” Traditionally, you would play a mobile game and then, every time you win battles or rounds, you get rewarded with those gold-looking coins.

Now guess what, Axie Infinity has SLP (Smooth Love Potion) as an in-game token. You can earn SLPs when you gain victory as an Axie player.

You ask: is the “earning” potential here useful in the real world? The answer is a resounding yes. In fact, some players from southeast Asia have cashed out enough to buy a house.

Town Star

Like many other play-to-earn games, I’ve also already covered Town Star in great detail, especially on the earning part.

So, suffice it to say for now that Town Star belongs to the Gala Games collection. That means you could expect it to continue to have improvements over time.

So, just a quick overview here before you go in deep: you can actually earn up to $200 a day from playing Town Star! It’s actually… surprise, surprise, free to play, too.

You ask: what does that mean? Well, that question transitions us smoothly into the next section below.

What does free-to-play mean in NFT games?

Many play-to-earn games are also free to play. That means you can download the game app and play it right away. 

Unfortunately, not all play2earn games have a free2play version. In Axie Infinity, for example, you need to invest at least around $200 to get your own Axies.

But don’t lose hope just yet. We got you some P2E games that are also F2P.

Top free-to-play games

Free-to-play games are just like your mainstream video games. You’re in them for fun!

But, what if your F2P game also gives you an earning potential later on? You didn’t invest money in it, but you did invest your time.

So how about we discuss two of my favorite F2P games thus far?

Crazy Defense Heroes

Crazy Defense Heroes (CDH) is a highly promising play-to-earn game, but it’s also free to play.

We’ve already covered a few things about how fun it is to play. But, since that overview piece is a little older than this one, let me just add that CDH gets crazier as you move up to Avatar Level15 and more.

Compared to non-F2P P2E games, getting wins and earnings on CDH may not be that easy. The earning potential comes from gaining TOWER tokens, but a TOWER token doesn’t have as much value yet compared to other game tokens.

Still, I’m hoping to get more TOWER as I continue to play Crazy Defense Heroes. So far, I’ve never bought anything to enjoy the game. And that’s exactly the beauty of free-to-play.

Thetan Arena

Similar to CDH, Thetan Arena also allows you to play the game right away without having to invest in anything. You can use a free normal hero to join battles. Your goal is to earn as many Thetan Coins ($THC) as you can.

You ask: is the free-to-play version good enough?

Yeah, it’s fun. But it can get frustrating especially if you find yourself always getting hit by enemies while in battle.

That being said, you can enjoy Thetan Arena just for the gameplay itself. 

Start your journey into free-to-play and play-to-earn gaming

Whether you’re a newbie or a hardcore mainstream gamer, you can begin taking advantage of the blockchain gaming space.
Explore more play-to-earn titles or dabble in free-to-play games first. It’s your call.

The post What is Play-to-Earn? What is Free to Play? A Guide to the World of NFT Games appeared first on NFT Game Info.

Since the coming of non-fungible tokens (NFTs), it has become evident over time that NFTs have the potential of changing the gaming world. The emergence of the NFT games has enabled players to occupy roles in the gaming market and receive rewards. 

Most NFT games run on Ethereum. Nonetheless, some other networks are now increasingly useful for NFTs. Among many others, the Polygon network stands out, which makes it our focus here. 

Polygon, the company behind the Ethereum-scaling protocol of the same name, is the creator of a crypto-based platform for NFTs. Interestingly, it has been pumping huge funds into blockchain-based gaming tech. Polygon’s platform allows users to trade NFTs without having to pay hefty fees otherwise known as gas fees. 

Some of these games are either just starting out or yet to get popular and so they still have a lot of releases and updates to make.

Let’s get to them immediately!

1. Aavegotchi

Aavegotchi (GHST) is a Defi-focused non-fungible token (NFT) that functions on the Aave protocol. Simply put, Aavegotchis are game avatars that you can use as Defi collateral to earn staking rewards.

Here, you get a little gothic. You can lock them up because each of these NFTs is an interest-based bearing asset. The tokens possess distinguishing qualities such as body color and personality. The value of Gotchis also varies. That is, the more different and rare a Gotchi is, the greater its value.

How does Aavegotchi work?

Aavegotchi functions as a Tamagotchi-like game but makes use of the blockchain. Players can acquire Gotchis as NFTs with GHST tokens and “upgrade” their avatars by playing minigames, dressing them up, and looking after them. The more resources a player spends on their Gotchis, the more profitable they become as NFTs. Players also receive GHST following their actions.

Rarity farming seasons are regularly organized to reward participants based on their Gotchi’s experience, rarity, uniqueness, and loyalty. Users and even participants receive rewards in each round of rarity farming based on transparent hierarchies. Gotchis also possess value as in-game NFT collectibles. The dividend funds emerge from public exchanges on the network when participants purchase clothes and other accessories for their Gotchi avatars.

How to play Aavegotchi

To play Aavegotchi, you first need to store cryptocurrencies in your Ethereum wallet. You either need to buy Ethereum (ETH) or Polygon (MATIC) and connect the two blockchains to enable cross-chain operations. You will also need GHST to purchase Gotchis and integrate them into the Aavegotchi network.

Aavegotchi can be used to play with Gotchis in a collection of minigames, with wearables and additions, while users can also receive a dividend on their collateral. Aavegotchi functions as a blockchain-based game and as a Defi protocol for staking and NFTs.

Why does Aavegotchi stand out?

Aavegotchi is not solely a gaming protocol where users can acquire and build in-game collectibles. The use of Gotchis goes beyond NFTs and game collectibles. That is, Gotchis can also be used as collateral. To enable interaction with Gotchis, users first need to deposit other supported cryptocurrencies, This in turn gives value to Gotchis aside from player activity.

By posting collateral, players can receive interest that is tangible in real-time. Aside from receiving interest, users can also earn GHST rewards. The network produces income from the demand for collectibles and wearables and minigame fees.

The value of Aavegotchi is derived from its specialized capacity, technology, and utility. Use cases, the relevance of the Defi sector, and the technology behind the project are elements that guarantee the utmost value of Aavegotchi as a project. Aavegotchi holds value both as a blockchain-based game, identical to CryptoKitties, and as a Defi protocol where users can earn dividends on deposited cryptos.

2. OxUniverse

OxUniverse is believed to be the next-generation blockchain game where players can build spaceships, explore the galaxy, and dominate planets. Essentially, you own planets and earn from them doing different things like conquering other planets, space ships, and solar systems. 

The discoverers will pull resources and implement research that allows them to conquer the distant corners of the galaxy. In addition, players can jointly contribute to the plot. So, you basically debunk the mysteries of the universe.

How to Play OxUniverse

This game has iOS, Android, and desktop browser versions. Also, like any entrepreneur, you’ll require a wallet that keeps a little starting capital. MetaMask works well for the web version. You can get OxWallet (a built-in wallet formulated by OxUniverse. Or, you may choose to use the Arkane wallet if you play on mobile).

Immediately you can set up a compatible browser and wallet, and then you’d create your account. You’ll be able to sign up, meaning that you’ll be eligible to take part in the cosmic expansion of the world of OxUniverse. Start the game and click on the PROFILE window. Enter your email address and the name you intend to make popular. And then you can just enjoy it!

3. Revv Racing 

Recently launched, REVV Racing is an arcade impulse car racing blockchain game by Animoca Brands. It now has a great user base. It’s one of the most exciting Polygon network NFT games.

Also, it’s powered by the REVV token which functions as the primary currency of purchase of utility and action across all the games. You can also use REVV across multiple connected products.

Revv Racing is the most recent play-to-earn title in the REVV Motorsport metaverse of racing competitions. Moreover, this blockchain-based game has the quality, look, and feel of a traditional video game.

In REVV Racing, cars are non-fungible tokens (NFTs). All play sessions are registered on the blockchain. You get in when you want to race but first, you’ll need an NFT car. Performances differ based on the attributes of the car.

The majority of REVV will be received through play and characteristics that award players based on their possession of race car NFTs and Tracks. Both the Time Trial and Grand Prix will award REVV to players who place in winning stances on the weekly Leaderboards.

REVV (REVV) is in the top 1,000 cryptocurrencies in the world by market cap, valued at $44,714,425.

REVV stands out because it has total control of your car on track in real-time, and powers true digital ownership of your in-game assets. This allows you complete freedom and control over your NFT game items. So, you can sell them or trade them at your convenience!

How to get started

1. Search for an exchange that aids both fiat and cryptocurrency to facilitate REVV purchases.
2. Open an account on an exchange that supports REVV.
3. Deposit funds into your account.
4. Deposit funds using bank transfer into your account. Then, pay with a credit or debit card or deposit cryptocurrency from a crypto wallet to purchase REVV.
5. Buy REVV.
6. Complete your REVV purchase and then discover the best wallet to store REVV.

4. Neon District

Neon District is a cyberpunk, role-playing sci-fi game. It was built by the video game company Blockade Games. The four team members of the game each have armor and weapons. Neon District applies a deck of cards for each team member going to battle. 

To begin, you first create a character. If you do not have one, start by signing in to your account. If you need to use your 2FA account, you can open it as a supplementary insurance layer. New players will get a free character to start with, but you will have to buy gearboxes to get the equipment to wear your character. It’s a very good game.

Some game assets available within the Neon District are:

• Characters: They can be either Demons, Docs, Geniuses, Ghosts, Heavies, or Jacks. Players can customize characters’ genders and looks.
• Demon: Demons are experts in combat with amazing skillfulness and acceleration. Demons possess other strengths like health, tactics, stealth, and hacking.
• Docs: These characters are healers. Docs are for “when elements go bad” and can curb bacterial nanobots, as well as influence their behavior.
• Genius: Geniuses are “creatively destructive.” They are endowed with extraordinary intellect and can unravel a wide range of problems.
• Ghosts: These are assassins. They can distort intuition and cover a situation to their benefit.
• Heavies: Heavies are incredibly strong, with their status alone possessing the capacity to influence how others feel.
• Jacks: These are incredibly talented hackers with the ability to influence the aftermath of circumstances that bank on odds. Those traits come in useful when they’re hacking through encryption.

5. ZED RUN (Horses)

This one is quite popular also and is essentially a digital NFT horse racing game. ZED RUN runs on the Ethereum blockchain and the Polygon network. 

Here, players have full ownership of digital NFT racehorses, identical to Axies in Axie Infinity. These racehorses can then be employed to enlist races or to breed new horses, enabling players to earn profit by receiving cryptocurrency rewards.

There are different horse breeds and abilities within the horses. You can breed horses to make more winning horses. And, you can also race with the horses or sell them and make more money. There’s a certain entry fee. So, it’s like you’re betting on a horse and then the winner takes the prize.

How to earn on ZED RUN

Win races: Horses have lots of characteristics and genes that affect their performance on the race track. These are bloodlines, breed kinds, and genotypes. 

If your horse places in the top 3, you’ll get a chunk of the total prize pool:

1st Place — 60% of the prize pool

2nd Place — 25% of the prize pool

3rd Place — 15% of the prize pool

It’s quite an exciting racing and betting game!

Give these Polygon network NFT games a try

Now that you know the top Polygon Network NFT games, it’s time for you to play for the biggest earnings. Feel free to share in the comment section which catches your fancy the most. We’ll see you in the next article!

The post Top Polygon Network NFT Games appeared first on NFT Game Info.

NFTs have taken the globe by storm, leaving many stunned at their rapid ascent to prominence. We’ve seen them take over the world of art, social media, music, and many other spheres in just a few years since its debut. And now NFTs have disrupted the gaming industry as well. 

NFT games are sensational and have drawn the attention of millions of game lovers all over the world. It’s a little wonder many top gaming brands are turning their focus to the blockchain industry to which NFTs belong. 

For avid gamers, the appeal of NFT games is the fact that it heralds a new era where gamers finally own their in-game assets. And this, as you well know, opens up a world of possibilities! 

In-game assets can now function as real-life assets as players get to exchange their assets in the marketplace for fiat. Plus, players can now do much more than pass time with these games. They can now earn.

It’s amazing how NFTs have made something truly phenomenal out of what used to be merely exciting. And we’re happy to walk you through your first foray into this NFT world. 

So, without further ado, let’s begin!

First, what are NFTs?

NFTs are digital tokens on the blockchain that represent a unique item. You can also describe them as digital assets that represent real-life objects or materials. 

NFTs can be used to depict anything. And by anything, we mean anything. You name it: music, art, colors, designs, in-game items and videos, sports, consumables, and anything tradeable. Whatever you can imagine, it can be tokenized on the blockchain. In fact, a recent addition to the types of NFTs is what you’d call the literary NFT.

But why would anyone want to make an NFT out of anything, in the first place?

Simple. Because with NFTs, we can settle once and for all what items are original and who owns them. This is possible because each NFT has a unique marker that is registered on the blockchain which is visible to everyone and is also unalterable.

Just like cryptocurrencies, NFTs can be bought and sold, usually in NFT marketplaces like Opensea, for instance. They can also be exchanged between holders as well.

What are NFT games?

NFT games, especially play-to-earn models, have become quite prominent in the world of Game-Fi as a means to earn income. Here, you possess the right to trade your in-game NFTs with different collectors and players and actually receive tokens, which you can exchange for fiat.

Just like NFTs, most NFT games are hosted on the Ethereum network. But there are many others that are hosted on other blockchains like Binance Smart Chain, Polygon, and others. In fact, NFT games that are hosted on these other platforms are getting increasingly popular as they provide a far less expensive option than Ethereum.

In blockchain games, nearly all game items are NFTs

In NFT games, nearly all items are tokenized, which means that they can be owned, stored, and bought. For instance, a game could illustrate your distinct character or avatar as an NFT. Meanwhile, weapons, skins, accessories, and tools can also be NFTs. 

You can then choose to swap or trade your NFTs with other participants and earn big for that. And trust us when we say you can earn big! Some people have made thousands of dollars just from selling their in-game NFT assets to other gamers as well as collectors.

This development is definitely a welcome one in a space that before now, solely benefited gaming companies. Well, they did offer the satisfaction of excitement and recreation to players. But for the billions of dollars spent by players in these games, it seemed somewhat unfair that they (the players) had nothing to show for it.

If a gamer got tired and wanted to move on, all the investments made in that game could pretty much be considered useless. And even the excitement gotten from the games would have become little more than a bland memory, as mainstream game policies ensured that players could not sell their assets, leaving gamers truly hung out to dry.

With NFT games, especially play-to-earn (or P2E), all that is turned on its head, as gamers get to enjoy their game while earning from it.

How do NFT games make money?

You’ve probably heard over and again how much money NFT games can make you. Well, yes, it is true that you can make a lot of money from these games. In fact, in the Philippines, a few people have earned enough to get their own home from NFT games. 

Nevertheless, there are no guarantees when it comes to how much you can make from playing NFT games. Factors such as the game mechanics and market demand play a huge role because what you make, inadvertently, comes from the community around that particular NFT.

Let us quickly insert a caveat here: just like the crypto market, the NFT market is highly volatile. In fact, it’s probably more volatile considering that the NFT market is illiquid, which means that NFTs aren’t that easily converted to cash. 

As you know, there are no centralized exchanges for NFT games. And so, unless there’s a community around an NFT game and a demand, you could be stuck with your game NFTs and lose your investment. 

So, in summary, just because a game has NFTs built-in does not mean you’re going to make a truckload of money from it. It will always be in your best interest to do your research and only invest with money that you can afford to lose.

With that said, here’s how you can start your NFT gaming journey:

How to start NFT gaming

There are five quick and easy steps to begin NFT gaming.

1. Create a crypto wallet. It’s absolutely free.

2. Find a play-to-earn game on the blockchain. There are tons of NFT games that can be overwhelming for a beginner. But we’ll show you our absolute faves to get you started.

3. Connect the game to the wallet.

4. Play and earn! But don’t forget that the rules vary for each game.

5. Buy and sell on marketplaces.

What are the best NFT games?

There are many NFT games on the blockchain and picking one is quite personal. Everyone has their individual tastes and preferences which would reflect in the kinds of games each one chooses to play.

Nevertheless, since you asked so nicely, we will tell you what our favorite ones are. We tried to create a mix of genres so that there’s something for everyone here. 

So, without further ado, let’s check them out:

1. Axie Infinity

Of course, we were going to begin with Axie Infinity. This is like the biggest NFT game right now with over 2 million daily active users.

Axie Infinity is heavily reminiscent of Pokemon and Tamagotchi. Players will collect, breed, raise, battle, and trade cute monsters which are referred to as Axies. 

As you can probably tell, these Axies are NFTs and you’d need to buy at least three of them to get started, which currently costs about $600 in total.

Axie Infinity has gone parabolic, which makes it a bit tough to enter right now. However, the game remains a highly lucrative one. So, if you can afford it, and you loved Pokemon and Tamagotchi, this is a game you should totally check out.

2. Gods Unchained

If you like card games, you’re definitely going to enjoy Gods Unchained.

Gods Unchained is an online tactical card trading game also based on the play-to-earn model. Trading cards are NFTs that players can trade in the game’s marketplace to build a deck that allows them to win more matches, and collect other cards as they win.

To begin playing, you simply go to the game’s website and create an account. You’ll be dealt six decks of cards: 140 cards in total, which form the Welcome Set. You’ll also get a few Core Cards which you can use to customize your Welcome cards.

That said, there are a few game modes to choose from. There’s the solo mode that will pit you against a computer opponent. You can consider this the practice mode. 

You also have the Constructed mode that pits you against other opponents online. 

And then, we have the Ranked Constructed which is the ultimate playing mode. In this mode, you play against other opponents, rise through the ranks, and unlock prizes.

3. Sorare

If you’re a fan of soccer, then this is one game that you’ll definitely enjoy. It’s like fantasy soccer but with NFTs. 

So, rather than simply selecting names of players from off a list, with Sorare, you’d have to buy digital collectible cards first. You’ll then use these cards to compete with other players in the game.

As you can probably guess, these cards are NFTs, so you can sell them like cryptocurrencies or simply collect them like baseball cards. 

Moreover, you also get rewards for each competition in which you participate. These rewards can either be cryptocurrencies or rare cards which you can add to your collection.

It’s your time to start NFT gaming

We hope you found this article both educating and interesting. Regardless of how complicated the concepts of NFTs and NFT gaming were to you, we’re pretty sure you get the point now. 

So, now that you know where to start, what’s going to be your next play? Let us know in the comment section which NFT game you’re going to be diving into first. 

Don’t forget to only invest with money that you can afford to lose.

Knock yourself out!

The post A Quick Guide To Starting NFT Games appeared first on NFT Game Info.

Before you take out your digital wallet to buy a Hero Pack, let’s get you some details about what this non-fungible token (NFT) game is going to be.

What is The Walking Dead: Empires?

The Walking Dead: Empires is a survival MMORPG (massively-multiplayer online role-playing game). The game is set in the scary world of AMC’s The Walking Dead. Players need to survive attacks from the “dead” characters, which are essentially zombies.

While the Hero Pack NFTs are now on sale, the game is still being developed by Ember Entertainment.

TWDE Game Concept

Fans of AMC’s horror TV series The Walking Dead might love to try out what it feels like to be in the same horrific setting as their favorite characters, Daryl Dixon, Rick Grimes, Carol, or Michonne.

In Gala Games’ blockchain game version, your goal is either to:

• Battle. You need to fight for survival. You also craft weapons. In fact, some crafting NFTs are already on sale now.
• Create. You get to build your defenses to keep yourself safe from the walkers. You can own a piece of land in the game.
• Collaborate. No man is an island, they say, so you can invite other players if you want to share resources and survive together.

What’s in a The Walking Dead: Empires Hero Pack NFT?

A whole pack of hero NFTs in The Walking Dead: Empires contains not one but three hero cards. Hero cards are divided into different rarities, such as common, uncommon, rare, epic, legendary, or ancient. 

According to the game’s website, one of these hero cards is guaranteed to match the rarity of the pack.

The Hero Pack NFTs are sold for $GALA

As of this writing, 1 GALA is equivalent to less than 0.1 USD, specifically, 0.08 USD. Last year (2021), it peaked at about 0.7 USD. That sounds totally affordable until you get to see the price of one Hero Card Pack.

The epic card you see in the above photo costs 6,618 GALA or about 523 USD. That’s already a huge amount to spend on one set of characters for a game, especially if you’re a beginner.

But for those who are used to the entry pricing of play-to-earn NFT games, that amount is totally understandable.

You see, in-game NFTs have (at least) triple significance. You could either play with them, lend them to others (called the NFT game “scholars”), or sell them on secondary markets for a profit.

If you think anything made by Gala Games is going to hit big on the market, then now’s probably a good time to purchase The Walking Dead: Empires NFTs.

But then again, this is not financial advice, i.e., when it comes to going solid on NFT investing, it’s best to DYOR (Do Your Own Research) first. Meanwhile, if you’re here for the fun of blockchain gaming, then we’re pretty confident hero NFTs would do you well to win.

What is Gala Games?

Gala Games is a decentralized blockchain-based ecosystem that aims to bring fun first into blockchain games. It is home to games such as Town Star, Mirandus, Legacy, and Fortified.

The platform has also given birth to Gala Music, which has already produced music NFTs in partnership with artists such as Snoop Dogg.

An overview of Crazy Defense Heroes

Last time, we told you about how Crazy Defense Heroes (CDH) is one of those best play-to-earn NFT games anyone can start with. By anyone, we mean to include those who aren’t even familiar with non-fungible tokens.

Once you download the mobile game from Google Play Store or the Apple App Store, you can begin playing it right away.

It’s among the best in the sense that it’s fun and easy. It’s a tower-defense battle game, but it’s also strategy-based. If you’re fond of role-playing games (RPGs), then you’ll find a taste of that inside Crazy Defense Heroes, too. You have card collectibles inside, plus you can go for a multiplayer mode.

Crazy Defense Heroes: the game experience

To be fair, I’m not yet at the master level of this game, but I played enough with it to describe it to you from the inside.

CDH has an easy-to-follow game tutorial

First up, you will appreciate the welcome tutorial. It’s easy to follow and won’t overwhelm you with so many details. You could also get started with a test game right away.

The above photo shows part of the CDH game tutorial. It describes the summary of the game mechanics. You’ll have battle card options available (the red arrow on the lower left points to some of these cards). Each card represents a “defense hero” or avatar.

Your ultimate goal is to prevent attackers from reaching that blue shield (in the upper right corner in the photo above).

All over the grassy battlefield, you’ll see scattered hexagon-shaped tower bases. You can pick from any of your available cards and choose where to position your heroes among the bases.

You start off with an easy first game

Your first few games would include a simple battlefield layout and a few tower bases. The characters you see in the screenshot below are some of the defending heroes.

Among my favorite avatars are the Centurion and the Archer Tower. The Centurion is the guy who holds a sword in his right hand. You can move him around wherever he’s needed while in the battle. Meanwhile, that yellow-haired Archer girl can’t run from her tower. But, she’s very efficient when it comes to shooting arrows from a distance.

The “Call Early” button on the lower right allows you to call the attackers early on. You could just wait for them to arrive—which would be a good option if you’re in your first one or two rounds—or you could go brave and say, “come on in!”

Add your card characters in strategic locations

Anyway, you won’t be as startled by enemy attacks if you positioned your defense heroes strategically. From my experience, I would say it’s best to put a couple of Archer Towers near the entrance of the attackers, and then the rest of the Archers need to be scattered all around the battlefield.

Once your chosen heroes are in position, you could just watch the game happen. You could be proactive if you want. That is, you could follow the prompts to upgrade characters during battle, or, you could just let them do all the work. And that’s exactly why I described it as a lazy player’s game.

Succeeding rounds would be a little more “challenging”

Well, they may not be as challenging as the ones in Thetan Arena, for example, but you would notice the difference from the first few test games.

To see the whole battlefield, you need to pinch the screen inwards. You’ll be able to discover more places to build towers on. You’d also spot other enemy entrances.

Luckily, you could choose to “upgrade” your Towers while in the battle. That opportunity comes whenever you see the golden plus sign on your characters. You only need to tap on them twice to confirm the upgrade.

At some point while on the battle, you’d also see the remaining (and reserved) battle cards on the deck turn colored (from being greyed out). Tap on the one you’d want to add, and the tower bases would light up. You’d spot a few options where a hero’s presence may be needed to up the defense.

By the fourth round, you can expect the battle to go crazy. Attackers would come simultaneously from all possible enemy entrances. To make sure you’re not losing rewards points, you need to watch out for your vulnerable avatars.

In the image below, my Centurion has 50% of his life left (see upper left corner). Because he’s not on top of a tower, he’s exposed to hand-to-hand (or more appropriately, sword-to-sword) combat. He could be hit and wounded, and that’s what’s reducing his life bar.

Meanwhile, my Behemoth (the big guy beside my Centurion on the upper left corner), is quite tougher. He can withstand more hits, so he’s also a great asset on the ground.

If you come out of the battle victorious, you would level up your Avatar. And, you could unlock new levels and game functionalities, such as belonging to clans.

Anyway, I won’t spoil you with every single game detail. It would be nice for you to experience the game yourself. Before I go, though, I’ll discuss a bit about what makes Crazy Defense Heroes a play-to-earn NFT game.

The TOWER token

What’s a P2E game without a token? Crazy Defense Heroes has its own ERC-20 token on the Ethereum blockchain. They call it the TOWER token. I personally think that’s a fitting name for a game that’s essentially a tower defense type.

Anyway, the TOWER token is the game’s medium of exchange. That means you could use it throughout the Crazy Kings franchise. Crazy Kings, by the way, is the earlier and smaller version of the expanded game CDH. Both are produced by Animoca Brands.

If you hold some TOWER tokens, you could use them both in Crazy Defense Heroes and Crazy Kings. You could earn these tokens by playing the games. Or, you could also purchase TOWER via SushiSwap and various exchanges.

Once you get some TOWER, you could also use them to purchase NFTs from the Crazy Kings franchise.

While you can easily create an account on the mobile app via your Google or Apple ID, you also need to go to crazydefenseheroes.com, log in, and connect your Ethereum wallet. That allows you to claim and use TOWER tokens.

Experience Crazy Defense Heroes today

One of the best reasons to experience CDH now is to be among the first to learn about its Play-to-Earn events on mobile. The same is true for Crazy Kings. You could also join the CDH Discord server to read important updates and announcements.

While the CDH creators are still developing a new blockchain PC version of the game, you could already enjoy the mobile releases.

If you’re the kind of player who just wants to put out some defense strategy at the outset and then laze around the rest of the time, Crazy Defense Heroes might be the NFT game for you.

Let us know once you’ve played it and what you think about your experience!
