Best NFT Games 2022

Ember Sword

Ember Sword is a free-to-play MMORPG set in a digital world housing nations like Solarwood, Duskeron, Edison, and Sevrend. The game resembles Runescape, which created a huge sensation in the '90s. Players try to defeat monsters and rival players to level up. You can explore the world to create tradeable NFT items. The game features an ERC-20 token called Ember, usable for many features such as land, collectibles, and subscription plans. Also, Ember Sword's land (NFTs) belong to thousands of players, and the game, currently in pre-alpha, is planned to launch this year.

StepN

STEPN is one of the first NFT fitness games where players can earn income by moving. Players can buy STEPN sneakers from the in-game store. The game features many different sneakers, but players need to choose ones that will carry them to the next tier. In other words, choosing a sneaker based on its attributes and rarity is very important.

StepN

Crabada

Crabada is one of the most popular play-and-earn games. You need at least 3 crabs to go on mining expeditions, which take roughly 4 hours to complete. Successfully completing a mining expedition without being looted earns players 3.75 CRA and 303.75 TUS, though this amount decreases if opposing raiders succeed in looting instead. Players and CRA holders can also stake their CRA on the platform for extra rewards.

Crabada

Aurory

Aurory resembles classic Pokemon games in terms of gameplay. The goal is to capture creatures called Nefties and use them in turn-based battles. The most important difference from classic Pokemon games is that Aurory is play-to-earn and has NFTs that can be bought and sold for profit. Players can compete in both PVE and PVP battles to earn rewards.

Aurory

Genopets

The game, logically similar to STEPN, is about earning by moving. However, Genopets differs by offering a Pokemon-like, gamified progression system. You can use the in-game rewards you earn through physical movement to level up and evolve your Genopet NFT. This feature makes you stronger than your rivals.
