Free-to-play blockchain games are gradually becoming mainstream Game Review Vol.9

Until a few years ago, blockchain games often required the purchase of NFTs or crypto assets in advance, but recently, more and more games are becoming free to play.

In addition, many titles do not fully emphasize the "play to earn" system, which allows you to earn tokens by playing the game while holding NFTs.

Many free-to-play BCGs often have a system that allows you to trade NFTs and crypto assets as an option, so you can first play the game without paying and then decide whether to pay or not.

Now that it can be played in the same way as a regular smartphone game, it seems that the environment has been created where even light users who are not familiar with BCGs can easily get involved.

A perfect island for leveling up

An addictive simulation game

A simulation game in which the mission is to create an island where the heroes can efficiently level up before the final battle at the Demon King's Castle.

Players create the "just right island" by placing appropriate monsters and islanders on the island. The monsters you raise can be traded with other players as NFTs. It's a very easy game to play, but it's so addictive that hours will fly by in the blink of an eye as you think about what kind of island you want to make and put together a strategy.

▶ By developing the island, you will be able to obtain stronger and rarer monsters. The graphics are somewhat nostalgic, and just looking at the island you have created will make you feel happy.

UNIVERSAL STALLION

Raise a unique racehorse

A racehorse training simulation game that pursues the realistic world of horse racing. By training racehorses and winning races, you can obtain crystals that can be exchanged for in-game currency or crypto assets.

After retiring, the racehorses you have trained can become breeding stallions or broodmares to produce new generations. There is also a system for trading breeding stallions and broodmares on the market. Each racehorse has a variety of talents, such as speed and stamina, as well as temperament, running style, and skills, and the goal is to produce a rarer and more excellent horse.

▶ The horse breeding and race system is almost the same as major horse racing games. It has reached a level of quality sufficient for a smartphone horse racing game. Breed stallions and broodmares to produce the strongest horses.

Heroes of Mavia

A strategy game with 1 million downloads in the first week since its release

A strategy game in which players build a sandbox-style village and attack other players' villages to steal resources. It is also described as a Web 3.0 version of the popular smartphone game "Clash of Clans," and achieved 1 million downloads within a week of release.

Players build bases on an island called "Mavia" and battle other players to acquire in-game resources such as gold, oil, and rubies. A new phase, "Mavia Phase 2: Next Frontier," began in June.

▶ Players develop their own bases and fight other players. Resource allocation, such as investing in facilities to defend the base, is important.
