Rise of the Defenders is perhaps one of the new P2E games to make its entrance into the space as a mashup of anime meets Call-of-Duty. The gameplay is supposed to be more like standard Tower Defense games like Kingdom Rush or Dungeon Defenders. The goal is to organize and upgrade your characters and their base all while defending it from attacking monsters. Players will have the opportunity to fight NPCs (non-playable characters/computers) in campaign mode or compete against real-world players through either Arena or Tournament modes.
Participants in the Rise of the Defenders metaverse collect and trade NFTs based on rare heroes (characters), mythical equipment, and reinforced items. They can also play-to-earn the platform’s two native tokens, RDG and RDR.

Like Grand Theft Auto and other open-world role-playing games, Sin City will have an ongoing “native game” that can be thought of as their version of a “Story Mode”.

Sin City plans to have a central virtual casino located in their digitized version of Las Vegas. This will be built on “the Matic layer” allowing fast-paced transactions to occur without any gas fees.
The Sin City casino will be built and owned by the Vanilla Network and will use the VNLA token as its playable currency. The actual native game token, SIN, will initially be used for all other transactions throughout the Sin City metaverse, including land deals, development, and other forms of interactive gameplay.

Regardless if all of these games hit it out of the park, we are seeing a paradigm shift in the way games get invested into, developed, played and coming of age over time. We will likely see more large game developers adopt these tactics in part or go all in with a more decentralized approach to future game development.
