Axie Infinity, an NFT game where players battle, raise, and trade fantasy creatures called Axies, really transformed how a game could be played in the modern world today where everyone is not just playing to entertain themselves, but also investing for their future in exchange of their time.

This is when the “Play-To-Earn” model is born where players are rewarded with tokens, assets or any in-game items or currency that can be sold with real value or money. With the success of Axie Infinity, many players are looking for other NFT games with “play-to-earn” mechanics and also have lower cost of asset acquisition.

In this article, we’re going to feature 5 NFT Games that have play-to-earn mechanics. Note that it doesn’t mean that these are the only games with such mechanics. Instead, these are NFT games which this writer and the team have personally looked into already. A future article will list down more NFT games with play-to-earn mechanics baked in.

Gods Unchained

Gods Unchained is a free-to-play tactical trading card game that has sold more than 4 million cards and generated over $4 million in revenue before its beta launch.

The game focuses on competitive play, which means players must strategically outsmart their opponents by building their own decks that match their play style and personality while having the capability to own any in-game items that they can get. They also have the freedom to trade, sell and use their cards any way they like.

The game is free-to-play (or free-to-start) because it comes with a free starter deck which new players can use to participate in ranked games.

PLAY-TO-EARN MECHANIC 

1. By playing games and leveling up, you can unlock packs that will provide you additional cards. These cards can be used to customize your decks and mint to be able to sell on the marketplace.

2. By winning more games in Ranked mode, you can earn Flux. Flux is used in crafting tools that allows you to make Common cards more valuable. (Once you have enough Flux, just go ahead to the Forge tab and fuse duplicate Common cards together to create a high quality card. After this, these cards are now minted and can be exchanged for real world value.)

Note: Selling cards on the marketplace is not yet available as Immutable X, its layer-2 scaling solution, is still in development.

SplinterLands

Splinterlands is another digital collectible card game which recently partnered with Yield Guild Games, a Filipino-led company with over 15,000 gamers operating primarily on Discord.

Splinterlands has already reached more than 100,000 registered users, making it one of the most active decentralized apps right now.

However, Splinterlands is not a free-to-play game. New players need to pay for the Summoners Spellbook worth $10 before they can access certain features of the game.

Splinterlands has its own in-game currency called “Dark Energy Crystals” (DEC) which can be compared to Axie Infinity “Small Love Potion” (SLP).

DEC can be earned through ranked battles, selling cards, or other in-game activities.

DEC can then be traded through different exchanges.

SPLINTERSHARDS AIRDROP

Splinterlands is now in progress to airdrop their main token called “Splintershards” (SPS) which can be compared to Axie Infinity’s governance token with a ticker of “AXS.”

SPS has been designed to reward long-term asset holders and supporters of Splinterlands, which has been running for three (3) years already. Distribution for SPS starts this July, and will last for 5 years and 5 months and the tokens will exist on Binance Smart Chain (BSC). Players who will hold the token will have voting rights on certain governance decisions within Splinterlands projects.

1. Land System – players can buy land as ERC721 Fungible Token to be stored in an Ethereum wallet. Every landowner gets 5 percent of the in-game resources that are harvested by players on their land and 10 percent if the net revenue of in-app purchases made by players in the game are shared with land owners in DAI tokens (USD stablecoin).

The higher the land’s in-game level, the higher share of DAI rewards the landowners gets, so landowners get motivated to stay active in the game and develop their land to get a higher share of rewards.

2. NFT Minting – every resource you mine from the game can be minted into an NFT token and sold in the marketplace.
