The Solana ecosystem provides users and developers with numerous benefits, including cheaper fees and faster transactions. In addition, it is an intriguing sandbox for blockchain gaming development, which will benefit from these advantages. The following five games are all built on Solana’s technology stack.
MMORPGs can take the Metaverse into the mainstream, as it remains one of the most popular gaming genres today. Recent releases such as Lost Ark confirm people still have an appetite for MMORPGs, even if they do not control their assets. Plutonians takes a different approach within the MMORPG genre by combining virtual reality with NFTs in a space strategy game. Players will experience a hybrid between Homeworld (strategy RPG), Escape Velocity (shooter action), Destiny (raids), and V.R. Chat (alternative reality social games).
Plutonians is built from scratch as a JSON-RPC standard with world-building tools, letting players and developers create their own expansion packs, either for fun or for profit. There is no upper limit for growth for the Plutonians Expanded Universe. Moreover, all gameplay is on-chain, including space travel (burning fuel tokens). Players have an incentive to build bigger ships as it unlocks larger missions and better rewards and comes with higher fuel costs.
On the customization front, players can build the game, storylines, assets, edit levels, tweak spaceships and components, and access free expansion packs through burning tokens.
A turn-based soccer game can make play-to-earn blockchain gaming much more accessible – and appealing – to mainstream users. Monkey Ball takes FIFA Street and Final Fantasy elements to create a new hybrid solution revolving around monkeys. Players will earn tokens by winning games or spectating other’s matches, ensuring there are ample incentives for participation and user retention.
Money Ball has high eSports potential through its MonkeyLeague vertical. Multiplayer gaming brings out players’ competitive nature and ensures those who invest time into mastering Monkey Ball will succeed in the game. Users create teams of 4 monkeys – which can be bought, sold, and traded on the marketplace – to play against the environment or other players in matches spanning twelve rounds.
The three game modes – Player vs. Environment, Player vs. Player, and Team vs. Team – allow for enjoyable competitive gaming. The latter mode lets multiplayer players participate in different teams, establishing a competitive group mode.
The Metaverse lends itself well to many different ideas and concepts in the gaming world. MixMob combines art, music, movies, and fashion into a cultural remix with gaming elements. An A.I. deleted our culture, and the resistance aims to reinstate it. Players can level up in the game through card-based strategic battles in an MMO universe featuring multiple game modes with play-to-earn elements.
Every MixMob character NFT is mutable to reward progression in the game and enable players to acquire more metadata. Rewards are based on creativity and style, combined with skills and reflexes. Moreover, MixMob focuses on user-generated content, ensuring the overall experience will always remain fresh and innovative.
With over 30 people building the Mixmob gaming environment and a story world with an engaging narrative and lore, it is one of the upcoming Solana games to keep an eye on.
Action RPGs are a crucial vertical in the video game industry. Eizper Chain embraces this concept through the multiplayer play-to-earn gaming approach on Solana. It is the first game under the Eizper gaming banner and will be a free-to-play title, making the game accessible to all players worldwide. The combination of free-to-play and play-to-earn mechanics is powerful and makes Eizper Chain the first such Solana-based project to combine with mechanics in Indonesia.
Players can experience the Adventure meet, where they interact with NPCs with unique personalities and stories. The lore shared by these NPCs sets the stage for wild tales, needs, desires, dreams, and destinies. In addition, there is a Player vs. Player mode where gamers can compete against other players or various monsters to earn rewards. A third pillar is the Guild mode, enabling players to go on missions together, explore dungeons, or challenge other guilds in PvP combat.
In-game rewards enable users to mint NFT weapons, armor, and in-game items based on five rarity tiers, visuals, and statistics.
The Battle Drones game on the Solana blockchain features a sustainable multi-stage project with short- and long-term actions. Battle Drones is a 3D isometric shooter spanning multiple game modes and rewards, including a detailed in-game economy to ensure project longevity. Moreover, community members can look forward to unique reward schemes, incentivizing players to participate in the Battle Drones ecosystem.
In the isometric top-down drone shooter, gamers can explore the player-vs-environment and player-vs-player game modes. Battle Drones NFT holders can access all of the game features and play-to-earn rewards, whereas non-NFT holders can play the game but will not have access to rewards.
Red Rock Resistance, the Battle Drones game, will feature multiple game modes. Players receive rewards by progressing and unlocking hidden in-game achievements. With Onslaught, Co-op, and Multiplayer PVP game modes to look forward to, Battle Drones will pack quite the punch.
