We used to have to pay for games, nowadays in the era of blockchain one can make good money on them.

Blockchain gave people the qualities that we lack the most — honesty and openness. Games “applied” to this technology were no exception. Its transparency requires all users to be honest with each other. Developers can no longer cheat players, and the “random” has become truly “random.” All that whipped the development of the industry, and especially online casinos, which have always got complaints in regards of their honesty. We bring to your attention a selection of interesting games on the blockchain that are popular with users.

Eos knights

This game is unusual not only because of virtually complete lack of plot, but also because of the fact that it plays … itself. The task of the user is to equip the three war heroes — a warrior, an archer and a witch, so that they can protect their settlement from countless hordes of evil. We hasten to add that — it won’t be possible to win in EOS Knights, because the user only watches the battle, and does not direct it. But our heroes, having died during one of unequal battles, come to life and gain experience, new armor, weapons and protective amulets made by the player makes from the collected materials shot by defeated enemies.

The more cycles — the more experience and strength, the cooler the bonuses that can be obtained after each battle. The game will never end, so you can spend at least a day in it. Unnecessary materials and heroes can be exchanged and received in exchange for the platform currency. EOS coins can be converted to any fiat or digital asset of your choice.

There is really nothing to watch during the game itself — the gameplay consists in collecting materials and pumping characters. For one battle, the duration of which increases with the development of heroes, the developers give three random rewards. The better your fighters are, the more likely they are to get something really worthy. The most important thing is that you don’t have to pay for anything, instead you can sell materials (which, in fact, are tokens) and get paid for it. Here is an obvious thing: since developers earn commissions for selling materials and withdrawing funds, they will have to make changes to the game in order to maintain a steady influx of new players and, as a result, demand for materials.

Cryptokitties

Everyone must’ve heard about this game, since from time to time it crashes the Ethereum blockchain. The players get the opportunity to acquire thoroughbred kitties (for money) and organize a cat nursery. The results of the breed crossing, just like in real life, can be sold — each cat represents a unique token.

The owner determines the price for the animals himself — the more unusual the pet, the greater the chance of selling it for a lot of money. Experienced breeders say that you can literally get your investments back in just a few days and start playing for getting pure profit. Well, the strong and independent users can just collect cute cats and admire their unearthly beauty. Also, it’s absolutely possible to look for rare pets — to buy them for cheap, and sell them at higher prices. In simple terms — to speculate.

My crypto heroes

The game from Japanese developers and in Japanese, giving its users from other countries to check it out only thanks to the smartphone application, which was translated into English. To log into the game, there must be some ethereum in the wallet — it’s just has to be there, there are no limits for maximum or minimum amount.

As in any RPG, the player will create and improve characters who fight evil, protecting their world. The strongest and most protected character has every chance to become the best of the best and receive a bonus in the form of game tokens that can be traded for real ethereum. It goes without saying that, the hero trade is flourishing, and many gamers improve their characters only in order to be able to sell them at high cost.

Pixel art lovers will like the game and visual aesthetes will be scared away — the design and characters’ detailing remained at the level of the old Dendy console, and the faces of the characters were borrowed from world celebrities. The game can be recommended to enthusiasts who know Japanese well — otherwise you simply cannot read the “strategy” section.

Eos dynasty

The game is suspiciously similar to EOS Knights — when looking into details, the games have more similarities than differences. Players also plays for three heroes, improve them and fights against goblins, protecting his settlement. They are helped by pets, which are divided into four classes of uniqueness. They will be useful on expeditions, and the higher the class of the pet, the greater the chance of finding something worthy.

The battle is divided into four stages, the higher the stage — the more valuable rewards can be found. Materials can also be collected during the battle. As in Knights, the developers did not bother with the graphics, so there isn’t much to watch during the battles. The player will have to learn how to mix materials and synthesise the new ones based on the old ones. Naturally, there is a market in the game, where you can try to sell all of that.

PROSPECTORS

The last game on our list (and the first at the moment according to the DappRadar website) is a decentralised online multiplayer strategy with an economic base, the main goal of which is gold mining. To the delight of our users, the developers brought the Russian language into the game.

First you have to invest and buy a starter tools for gold, which is purchased for the game token. The list of proposed jobs will help you decide which tool is needed — there are more or less profitable tasks. In this case, you must also consider the distance that your heroes have to cross to get to the right places. And yes — the tool wears out, so you need to carefully analyse the offers on the market. Any action takes a lot of time, and the player only needs a few minutes to make a decision. The game will appeal to fans of the genre who are tired of playing strategy without getting any profits.
