Game's based on Blockchain

There was a time when Xbox and Sony both discussed the idea of allowing players to purchase items using the achievement points they acquired when they played games. For those who do not know about achievement points, here’s a quick example of them. A player can acquire an achievement point by doing something unique in a game, such as dispatching an enemy in a difficult way or beating the entire game. A game’s development team would create a large list of these achievements as a form of checklist for the players to complete while they played. The more achievement points a player had, the more points they had on their account for everyone to see. Xbox and Sony planed on allowing players to use their points to pay for digital accessories for their account, content they could use in the games they played, and, if a player saved enough, even purchase an entire game they could play but Xbox and Sony scraped the idea because people were able to find a way to hack their hardware to make it look like they had completed achievements for games they never owned.

That’s where blockchain game could come in and there are games out right now that use this technology. For those interested in checking the games out on this list, you may want to have already invested a cryptocurrency in order to play as many of them required players to have some to get started. This includes having a wallet account created to use on the game’s account.

Age of Rust

The game started out on the Bitcoin-based Counterparty network with its own Rustbits cryptocurrency, but has since switched and is now part of the Enjin Coin Multiverse of games, which is based on the Ethereum blockchain. Earlier what started as a text-based adventure game as someone’s part-time project has now turned into a 3D open world game and into a full-scale development studio. This has seen the introduction of combat missions, but the game also maintains its core focus on exploration and puzzle-solving.

CryptoWars

Running on the Ethereum blockchain, using Loom sidechains for its gameplay and the Metamask wallet for login, CryptoWars is loosely based on free-to-play build-and-battler titles such as Clash of Clans. In this way, you collect and use resources to build and upgrade your buildings, create armies for looting Quantum Dust, and research technology to do everything more efficiently. Another key element of long term play is the ability to join Alliances to complete high level cooperative missions and goals.

Blankos Block Party

The first release from US blockchain game platform Mythical Games, Blankos are “fun and mischievous vinyl toys that inhabit their own offbeat world, focusing on good vibes and good times”. The game is running on the EOS blockchain will be a party MMO initially be released for PC/Mac.

Hash Rush

While many blockchain games offer a deep integration that require the use of crypto wallets, other are taking a more nuanced approach. One such is Hash Rush, which is a PC client 3d real-time strategy build-and-battler game that rewards players using cryptocurrency and offers the usual item ownership and marketplace options. The important feature, however, is you don’t need crypto in order to play it. One part of the game is mining (and looting) Crypto Crystals. It’s these which are used for leaderboard ranking. The game also has its own ERC20 token, Rush Coin and a range of ERC721 character skins.
