On December 13, the Ethereum Layer 3 gaming network Xai will launch "Tiny Sentry Keys" to lower the entry barrier to its Sentry Key ecosystem. Sentry Keys are NFT-based licenses for nodes operated by network supporters, which can earn rewards through staking. The Xai Foundation claims that including the XAI token airdrop earlier this year, Sentry Key holders have shared rewards and airdrops worth approximately $340 million.
The Xai Foundation also stated that over "12 top gaming and ecosystem projects" are collaborating with it to provide rewards for Key holders. However, the related games and information have not yet been disclosed, with only a few games like Valeria: Land Before the War confirmed to participate in the airdrop event. Based on the available public information, this article will review 10 games that have already launched or are about to launch on Xai.
Tollan
The Tollan universe is a rich fantasy world created by Foretold Studios. Tollan Survivors is a roguelite game that offers fast-paced action and cooperative combat, requiring strategic teamwork while enhancing narrative depth and gameplay excitement. Tollan Worlds continues the storyline of Tollan Survivors, drawing inspiration from popular games like Diablo and Hades, providing a richer RPG experience. Core members of the Foretold Studios team have previously collaborated with major studios such as Bandai Namco, Jam City, and CAPCOM, contributing to well-known games like Resident Evil, Titan Quest, Motocross, and Need for Speed. After three years of development, Foretold Studios decided to move its main game from the Immutable platform to XAI.
Riftstorm
An action RPG light Roguelike game developed by Confiction Labs. Players will take on the role of Weavers, each with different abilities and equipment, allowing players to customize primary and secondary weapons to match their playstyle. Riftstorm promotes teamwork by dividing players into teams of three, where each player is crucial to the team and overall gameplay style. Players fight waves of enemies in procedurally generated dungeons, facing boss battles at the end of each level. Riftstorm envisions a collaborative economy as the future of gaming, allowing players to trade, sell, and publish their assets without predetermined rarity.
Planet-X
A treasure-hunting themed strategy mobile game that combines exploration, strategy, and real-time fast-paced hunting. In Planet-X, players will participate in a global treasure hunt, searching for treasure chests scattered across the map within a limited time to be the first to find the treasure. A core mechanism of the game is battling other players for precious loot, making encounters tense and strategic. Planet-X offers two types of hunting modes: non-ranked hunting, which is great for beginners with a smaller prize pool for practice and skill honing; and ranked hunting, which is more competitive with a larger prize pool. Planet-X uses X-Droid as its main NFT, which serves not only as a character in the game but also as a pass for players to gain a range of privileges.
Xtermination
A free multiplayer armored combat game where players can build, upgrade, and unleash armored vehicles in various modes such as PvP, team battles, and battle royale. All assets in Xtermination, including armored vehicles, are NFTs. Through the "Destroy-to-Earn" mechanism, players can earn rewards and loot, which can be traded, used, or sold on an exclusive NFT marketplace. The game features a unique builder mode that allows players to have their own workshop to manufacture vehicles, ammunition, and arenas, directly contributing to the in-game economy. A game demo is expected to be released within six months.
MAYG
A turn-based third-person shooter multiplayer game, fully titled My Angry Yakuza Girlfriend, set against a stylized 1990s Tokyo backdrop. MAYG aims to attract a broad audience, including competitive female players. Unlike traditional shooting games that rely on reflexes, it emphasizes prediction and strategic planning. Players must manage ammunition, form temporary alliances, and choose the right moment to attack. The turn-based nature of the game also ensures a fair competitive environment for players worldwide, unaffected by network latency. The game is produced by Peeking Duck, with core developers including former head of Sega's Secret Level Studios Lukasz Drozdek, former head of Bandai Namco's casual games studio Danny Pisano, and former Asia director of Pokerstars Sinjin David Jung.
Valeria Games: Land Before the War
A creature-collecting themed real-time strategy (RTS) mobile game that fully launched on Android and iOS platforms on November 29, kicking off a month-long P2A event offering $LOV token rewards. Valeria: Land Before the War announced its migration from Polygon to Xai in July this year, with key mechanics including story mode, PvP battles, and tournaments. As players continue to challenge themselves, they will unlock new champions, weapons, and item NFTs while having complete autonomy over their in-game assets. Valeria Games currently plans to launch three products, with the other two being a physical card game combined with NFT technology called Phygital Card Game, and a digital comic titled Land of Valeria.
The Lost Glitches
An RPG-style collectible card game developed by Honig Studios and published by Mimunga. The Lost Glitches is available in an open beta version on the Epic Games Store, blending web2 and web3 gaming elements, promising a seamless experience without transaction fees. The gameplay is designed to be both simple and challenging, with one key aspect being the construction and optimization of decks to match the player's preferred style, such as focusing on aggressive offense, defensive strategies, or balanced attack and defense. Victories on the battlefield not only increase player character experience but also reward $LOST tokens, which can be used to enhance character abilities and equipment.
Rainbow Rumble
A skill-based battle game launched by Crypto Unicorn, inspired by TV shows Takeshi's Castle and Wipe Out. Rainbow Rumble requires players to have Crypto Unicorn NFTs and $RBW tokens to participate. The game offers two different modes: showdown mode and sprint mode. Showdown mode is perfect for those who enjoy challenges. In this mode, players can compete on various tracks against up to 19 other players, with only those who complete each track within the time limit advancing, and the ultimate winner being the first player to cross the finish line of the last track. Sprint mode accelerates the excitement with fast-paced races, allowing players to adopt more aggressive tactics.
CZ RUNZ
An endless runner game themed around CZ Zhao Changpeng, with the game token $CZRUNZ being a community-driven token built on Base, aimed at celebrating Zhao Changpeng and his contributions to the cryptocurrency world. It is important to note that CZRUNZ Memecoin is a cryptocurrency intended for entertainment purposes only and has no affiliation or endorsement from CZ.
The Europe Fantasy League
An innovative web3-based fantasy football game launched simultaneously with the 2024 European Championship, providing an immersive experience for football fans and fantasy sports players.
