Getting Started with P2E & Blockchain Gaming
So you want to get started with play-to-earn/blockchain games.
This is a guide on games for beginners and newcomers to the space that want to have some fun and learn about P2E without breaking the bank.
Gods Unchained
If you’re looking for something completely free-to-play, look no further than Gods Unchained.
Gods Unchained is a digital trading card game where you can buy and sell cards for real-world currency and earn $GODS, the token powering Gods Unchained.
Gods Unchained plays very similar to Hearthstone and Magic: The Gathering. There are six gods, each with their own unique abilities. Craft a deck and use a variety of monsters and spells to defeat your opponents.
The best part about Gods Unchained is that it’s completely free to start. Additional packs of cards can be bought and sold, but it costs nothing to jump in and start playing.
Crypto Raiders
This next one is for all you retro gamers out there, let me introduce you to Crypto Raiders.
Crypto Raiders is an NFT RPG game where you battle your way through dungeons for loot. To start cplaying Crypto Raiders, you’ll need a character.
Characters can be bought on OpenSea and as of this writing are selling for 0.03 ETH ($97).
Once you’ve got a character, you’re ready to start raiding. Battle your way through dungeons, level up your character and earn awesome loot. It’s like Diablo meets A Link to the Past.
The gameplay is super simple and if you can click buttons on a screen, you can be successful in Crypto Raiders. With a team that’s constantly tinkering and updating the game, Crypto Raiders has a very bright future.
ZED RUN
ZED RUN is a name you may have heard before, a game that made huge waves in the space.
ZED RUN is an NFT horse racing platform. Users can purchase horses and enter them into free or paid races. To get started you’ll need a horse…
Mr Limitless here is currently the cheapest horse available on OpenSea, listed for 0.0041 ETH ($13). One of the best things about ZED RUN is how approachable it is.
After purchasing a horse, you’re ready to race. Select your race, choose your gate and hope for the best. I’ve raced my horses on stream before and it’s some of the most fun I’ve ever had in a racing game. Cars are played out, get yourself a horse.
Enjoy Yourself
I’ve highlighted these three games not only because they’re approachable and have a low barrier of entry, but because they’re fun. Having fun should be your number one priority. At the end of the day these are video games after all.
Video games shouldn’t feel like a chore. While it’s great that you can earn tokens playing these games, we’re also here to have a good time. Hopefully this has given you an idea of where to start on your P2E journey. Just remember to have fun!
