So, you know how we're always talking about gaming and how it's evolving? Well, I stumbled upon something seriously cool that I think you're gonna love. It's athis new game called Storm Warfare, and let me tell you, it's like nothing we've ever seen before.

It's like World War II battles brought to life in a card game format. Sounds intense, right? But here's the kicker – it's not just about the battles. They've integrated web3 into the game, which basically means every single thing you own in the game is actually yours. Like, you can trade your tanks, soldiers, and weapons with other players because they're tokenized as NFTs. It's insane!

And get this – behind Storm Warfare team called Janus Interactive. They're based in London and they're not just any game developers. They're on a mission to change the way we think about gaming. They've created their own currency called $JAN that powers everything in their gaming world, and they're using cutting-edge tech like blockchain to make it all happen.

This isn't just about playing games anymore. It's about being part of a whole new gaming revolution where you actually own what you play with. It's called True Ownership, and Janus Interactive is leading the charge. So, what do you think?

What I observed about blockchain gaming refers to the phenomenon of more and more players adopting blockchain technology to gain benefits such as in-game asset ownership, secure transactions and a decentralized economy.
allowing players to have full control over their virtual assets and even earn from playing games
well that's usually what the gaming world likes even I myself like it.

That exactly is the background concept behind Blockchain gaming, getting rewarded for the leisure enjoyed in playing games online, since the Blockchain could be used for virtually all things that has to do with recording and transactions, in fact they list some of these tokens on CEX just like how we see SAND and even JAN listing on Bitget among many other tokens points to the fact that gaming can now be properly monetized.

Typically, the blockchain gaming has been there I think since the ICO days but didn't got that much attention until 2021 bull run came. I think most of them were done because many of those have been designed poorly and mainly focused on its economy and money making. If games soon are going to rise like these RPGs, first person shooter games like COD, world war battles, this genre is widely known and liked by many gamers. But even with that, I just think that having the title for this gaming to rise, it's done long time ago.

This is not something new, during the pandemic, there are similar platforms that come up with games like Axie Infinity, DPET rules the gaming industry in the Cryptocurrency, so many investors lose a lot of money from these PVPs I don't know the potential of this Storm Warfare but they have to market themselves well and try to differentiate themselves to all the other Crypto gaming platform that mushroom 4 years ago, because people will look at them as another Axie AND DPET in the making, and if people will look at them just like that they will fail to attract more players and investors.

No longer interested in blockchain games with the same concept as AXIE, DPET etc. I experienced a lot of losses on Axie so that the initial capital was not returned and in the end it was just trash. The beginning was successful but then the P2E games didn't produce anything. Crypto gaming does not have much interest, now only focuses on developing new blockchain platforms and is interested in airdrops that provide reward incentives.

I agree with all of those that you've mentioned. They've come as if the hype was still there and they've made a lot of noise but what happens next was the disappointing moment of the P2E trends in the market. They started to lie low and eventually lost all of their popularity, the hype was gone, token of theirs became low in value and then the NFT themselves have dropped a lot in value too. I think those who have remained really have liking to the game and with the genre that I have mentioned, they're trying something new but it won't surprising if it don't click.

Mate a trading card game that integrated blockchain and NFTs? We've had a good number of those already and none really has penetrated the mass market besides Axie Infinity(though the hype already died down).

And tell you what — I checked the website of the game that you mentioned, and they're focusing on the token instead of the actual game lol. "Buy now".  :-X

yes, I see it like that too, that's why I follow projects that have the potential to provide airdrops to their users, so far I have participated in several projects.
and 1 project has given an airdrop, namely heroes of mavia, you can look for it on coingecko.
The estimated airdrop is worth 64$, currently, but I haven't taken it yet because the fees are high.

The traditional gaming industry took a loss in the last year so they were looking for a breathing space for the industry. Online gaming is already a big industry and heavily centralized, but the use of web3 will make it easier for gamers and creators to distribute revenue to the whole industry rather than some top players. There are a lot of ways blockchain gaming boosted the the two respective industry and i think web3 gaming is the future of gamefi and the online gamers.

blockchain gaming is back on the market in crypto, there are so many game projects in development, some have even developed from the bear market 2 years ago.
Whatever it is, you can do research first on the game project you want to invest in.
and enter as quickly as possible so you can time out correctly.

Yes, Axie Infinity was actually the pioneer in blockchain games niche to become an overwhelming success during the last bull run of 2021. The hype lasted for a while and many investors were able to recover their initial investments with a great profit margin. However, it doesn't prevent this WW2 game becoming a hot topic inside the niche this time... It will really depend on how much money is going to be injected on this project.

There are many screenshots of the cards on the website as well. But if they keep insisting on financial speculation, instead of showing some solid gameplay, their success chances decrease considerably, as it will be seen solely as a greedy project ran to milk money from the community, instead of delivering entertaining content. People have to feel passionated about the game's mechanisms, just like players felt for Axie Infinity back then, especially the asian community who developed a deep bond with the game for a while, probably due to their cartoon's culture like Pokemon and similars.

By the end of the bull run of the year 2021 that was something I had learnt from projects like Axie Infinity, Plant vs Undead and many others. The developers got carried away by their Play-to-Earn marketing, they pushed it too far, making people to join their community and game based only on the possibilities of making money about of it, leaving to one side the most important things about a internet game: the fun factor. If they had left aside their marketing on Play-to-Earn and focused on attracting people who genuinely just sought to have fun with their multiplayer experiences, then perhaps all their tokens and the market would have not devolved into an speculative bubble like it did.
Nowadays it is possible to purchase axies at a very cheap price, when during the peak of their popularity one needed a minimum of 700$ or more to get three basic creatures to start in the game. I don't even know whether the project was abandoned or the developers continue to release updates and keep the game running, fixing bugs and errors.
One must be very careful if one ever considers to invest in a decentralized game in this context, as we approach a bull run, there will be many scammers seeking to jump onto an opportunity to take one's money.

The world of crypto has indeed entered the gaming realm. However, when the focus shifts to blockchain gaming, the emphasis should be on how to enhance the game. It needs to be user friendly, simple, and enjoyable to play. I've tried playing some blockchain games, and from what I've observed, there are numerous bugs. Sometimes, in the middle of playing, the games force close, whereas non blockchain games run smoothly.

We understand that the combination of gaming and earning is a great idea, but developers and team members should prioritize improving the game. Profits should come later, once people have adopted the games.

Of course I still believe that blockchain gaming will still rise someday but at this point I think the direction is already downward. The rise of blockchain gaming has hit its own version of ATH during the height of Axie Infinity. It was when you have an array of good choices if you want to get into it. You can also make a good deal of money playing those. Axie Infinity of course was the leading game but there were a good number of other options also, some using other blockchains besides Ethereum. Today, the hype is already gone.

Sometimes I still receive emails from developers about the game, but I totally lost interest on it, so I really don't know how it's doing right now. For me, the end of Axie Infinity was on the moment they introduced an update disabling SLP rewards from adventure mode, what means only PVP matches would reward SLP from that moment on.

It means cheap Axies teams couldn't make income anymore from the game, since they have no chances against expensive teams which are more powerful. Now I believe only those who love the game, or have superior teams keep playing. Anyway, it's undeniable the game is still running maintaining a community supporting it, so I don't consider it a failure, but an example of blockchain game which worked and conquered a base of players, going beyond pure speculation.

As the convergence of blockchain technology and gaming reshapes the landscape of virtual experiences, it is crucial to deliberate on the economic models governing these ecosystems. Unlike the prevalent fast-win or lose strategies, building a sustainable blockchain gaming ecosystem requires a meticulous approach that prioritizes long-term engagement and community growth.

Creating a thriving ecosystem begins with a commitment to fostering a sense of community and longevity within the gaming platform. Instead of focusing solely on short-term gains, developers should adopt strategies that incentivize continuous participation and value creation.

So uh, how many times is blockchain gaming going to rise? There's been tens, if not hundreds of these types of games really, and nothing really actually lasted. They all just, died down really. I think the most hyped this community was back when Axie started it, or at least when it was at its peak. Those times were what I would call the "Rise", which just as quickly fell really, but I'd say a lot of people actually profited from it. Nowadays? Nothing.

Looking at the site I don't really think there's anything "unique" about it from other card-based games in general. It's a WW2 theme but that's it. Man I wish they started trying to make a game properly instead of, well, stuff like this.

but based on market analysis, the play to earn concept is not very healthy for the game itself, unless there is a new breakthrough, which prevents this concept from being a game killer.
I think game developers have now seen how games boom in 2021 and die in 2022, apart from the fact that the bull market is gone by then, getting tokens and selling them continuously makes the price die.

Isn't this same fo almost every other web3 game? every character, and in game items are NFTs that you have to buy them spending real cash and play the game.
Unless the game have a proper Play2Earn feature and it is possible to get to ROI on time, I don't see any point of spending money on that game.
and BTW. there are tons of Battle Related Card games. that's nothing unique at all.
Game itself doesn't sound bad. I would've given it a try if it was a free game or even a one time purchase.

The rise of blockchain gaming is again considering the things that people once wanted to survive, currently there are a lot of blockchain gaming projects, and of course some of them are definitely booming.
but most of them use mobile phones, and are not computer based, because the market also knows that mobile is more popular nowadays than gaming pc, because mobile is more efficient.

What I read in the earlier replies about the blockchain gaming hype starting with Axie Infinity is correct. When it peaked, many indeed earned and benefited from it. Because of this, many tried to emulate its success, but most were not successful because their main goal was to take the money of investors and players. They engaged in rug pull activities.

I tried searching for the game you mentioned, OP. I am familiar with the concept and genre of the game because I have played similar games before. I will try to play this when I have spare time to see if it's good and if I like it.

Early birds of Axie Infinity are the ones who made a lot of money but when it became popular, especially during times of the pandemic when people are at home looking for a way to make money at home, Axie Infinity is a platform that came at the right time, and the hype brings a lot of users and investors, but like a Ponzi Scheme when the flow of money stalled the admins have to change the rule and stop money from coming out because there is more money coming out than coming in.

Axie Infinity is a lesson in blockchain gaming that has gone wrong, people are there to make money not just to play and enjoy the games, more games came but it carries the same formula as Axie Infinity, the players need to invest and pour money, and limit their cash out, if they cannot do that the game will be doom lets see if this new wave of blockchain gaming offers a different plan that will benefit the platform and the players.

It is certain that the name of the game design has been done for a long time and they prepare a strategy so that the game sells well in the market, with various ways definitely done, for me I am not so interested in it even though they provide prizes for those who participate.

As far as I know Gods Unchained was the first; it's just that Axie Infinity is the first that actually gained mass popularity.


It actually shows a sign of grift and that they mostly only care about the token prices rather than the actual game itself. It's either a scam, or really really bad decision making from the team.

If you take gaming platforms, you can take Fairspin as an example, I liked their tournaments. But in general their team managed to create a good eco-system, where everything is intuitively simple and I respect such projects, where they think about people and create convenience for them

this is a task for all crypto game Developers, they really have to pay attention to how the game works and how it can earn. Apart from that, the game also has to be good and not just a game like most of the ones that have been launched. Some users only care about the token price, but when they see the potential of P2E in games they will start putting money into the game and this will continue. Now crypto games are starting to develop again and this will become a new phenomenon because it is equipped with more sophisticated capabilities with the help of AI and others.

You don't understand what I said there, many of them have been poorly designed and when the craze of these NFT games or P2E games there have been a lot of devs that just developed what they have to develop in the sense so that they can cope up with the demand and try their luck to get as much investors as they can while waiting for the bull run to end during that time.

That is fine, I am done with them and I've went back to the traditional games that I just enjoy even having no rewards or tokens on the side.

Probably due to the p2e games that launches during rhe pandemic and people need some sort of cash and the idea of play to earn was born. Of course some players will likely to play game based on their nature but with the compensation they could get from playing? Of course thats a done deal. This somehow shifted some gamers to those kind. So blockchain gaming is indeed got a future, but some hate it due to ruining the traditional games perspective.

Cryptocurrency games might take over fiat currencies gaming just that most of the developed countries casinos are still accepting dollar and other fiat currencies. But cryptocurrency games are on the rise vey well that almost everyone in the forum who are conscious of gambling, knows how to play with crypto casinos. Though many people don't know how to play with crypto casinos and they can only use to local currency games

But anyone who can play cryptocurrency that person can also play with fiat currencies.

Yes, i mean like that, the in-game design is like you said, but for the marketing design, they will definitely put more effort to make potential investors interested in joining them.

Well if we're talking like that I guess we agree, i also enjoy games that don't have prizes but are interesting to enjoy like challenging meta games.

That's true and we both agree with that.

Yeah, we're on the same page with that. We both enjoy games that don't have monetary rewards but if there are games that are seem to be really interesting and profitable then we're going to be there as well. The genre of games never gets old to me that I truly like but if the gameplay sucks, I stop playing them.

Yes it must be so, maybe all gamers especially online prioritize the quality of the gameplay, the most important thing for me is to feel satisfied with their offerings to me as a player.
But i haven't found a good blockchain-based game yet, have you ever found a good game from it?

You know, I remember that during the craze of NFT games. You'd see games that have bad graphics but at first has been in demand because of the rewards they give to their player investors. That's the thing for them during that time and the quality was terrible and I don't know if those type of games are still existing nowadays or they've probably already sinked together with the bear market after that craze.

Before but it was a bad experience and I don't think that I'll be looking for one atm.

I think we can't even call those things games. They were just static, dumb point and click websites worse than browser games from the beginning of 2000's. These websites you mentioned were developed by scammers who never had legit intentions of creating real games, since those platforms worked on the same concept of Ponzi schemes, where early investors were able to make huge profit in short time intervails, but the ones coming late just lost money, and the demand for the site went to zero right after.

But thinking about old 2000's browser games, I think it could be an idea blockchain gaming developers to try introducing again on the internet. Maybe real time city building games such as Travian, Tribal Wars, Ikariam, Grepolis could work nicely giving players the chance of earning money from it, while also investing money on it to grow their cities and empires through a cryptocurrency. In fact, developers don't even need to create a native token. If they just adopted Bitcoin, it would be great already.

Well, they try to make it as a game because you can click, move, etc. And you're right that they're just making it as if a game but the system for their reward is like a ponzi scheme. These developers are clever but good thing when the bear market has arrived, many of them have been stopped and didn't do well anymore. By that means, most of them have probably sold already their tokens and left the players so sad with a lot of losses having that faith with their development.
