Blockchain game Game Review

Entering 2023, there are two major trends in GameFi (blockchain games/NFT games).

One is that domestic game manufacturers are entering the market one after another. Up until now, most of GameFi's titles were from overseas, making it difficult to obtain and scrutinize information, but the advantage is that domestic manufacturers can be easily accessed by Japanese users.

Another problem is that more and more titles do not feature a "Play to Earn" element where you earn tokens through gameplay.

Regarding Play to Earn, the problem has been pointed out that the token price quickly plummets, and that the price trend becomes the focus of attention rather than the pure enjoyment of the game. This seems to be a major change in that more and more titles are using the fun and novelty of the game as their weapon, rather than the speculative nature of Play to Earn.

1. Captain Tsubasa -RIVALS-

Collect Captain Tsubasa characters and battle

A blockchain game based on Captain Tsubasa, which is popular all over the world. It is a game where you collect cards of popular characters such as Tsubasa Ozora, train them, and have command battles.

To play, you will need one character NFT sold on the marketplace. Each character card has different levels, parameters, attributes, etc., and the range of activities will expand depending on the development.

There is also an element of combining two cards to obtain a new card, and rare characters are sold at high prices. You can also earn and earn unique tokens based on the results of battles.

2.SYMBIOGENESIS

Square Enix original title

It is an original work by Square Enix, one of Japan's leading game companies, and is described as ``a completely new form of NFT entertainment that adds ``gaming utility'' to ``10,000 pieces of NFT collectible art.''

The game is about unlocking the stories of 10,000 game characters and solving the mysteries of the world. Elements have been announced, such as solving puzzles to unlock the story, collecting and buying and selling NFT items that can help solve puzzles, and cooperation between players.

3.Five Stars

A classic smartphone game with anime-style illustrations

A command battle RPG released in February. Place characters on a 3x3 board and select attack commands to clear quests. Although it is originally a Korean game, it supports Japanese subtitles and has Japanese dubbed voices.

The main means of monetization are selling the weapon NFTs you have obtained, ranking high in the rankings, etc. In addition, the number of quests is very large and the play time is long. Currently, the profitability is not high, so we recommend playing for fun.

4.Alaska Gold Rush

Run around the open world and find gold nuggets

A survival FPS game set in 19th century Alaska during the gold rush. The goal of the player is to survive in an open world while being exposed to dangers such as wild animals, and find gold nuggets. The acquired gold bullion can be traded as a unique token.

It is said that the items used to acquire gold bullion will be turned into NFTs, and it will be possible to earn money by buying and selling them. The game screens that have been released are of very high quality, and the game genre is in line with recent trends, so expectations are high.

5.GGGGG

Casual 100 person battle rois game

A battle royale-style action game for smartphones that can be played by up to 100 people. It was developed by Drecom, a major social game company, and will be released on iOS/Android on March 31st.

It's very easy to operate, with only three types of controls: movement, attack, and special moves, but the game's fast-paced development and exhilarating action feel good, making it a highly complete game. There are currently no unique tokens or Play to Earn elements, and it has been announced that character skins will be available for purchase and sale as NFTs.
