On May 24th, the on-chain vote for the proposal of Arbitrum community’s “200 million ARB game catalyst plan” will officially begin. The proposal aims to provide a three-year incentive plan for the Arbitrum ecosystem games, totaling 200 million ARB. This plan will fuel the Arbitrum game ecosystem through studios and games in the Web3 industry. Based on the results of the snapshot voting conducted in March, this on-chain vote is expected to pass smoothly when it ends on June 7th.

The L3 game chain XAI ecosystem, which is directly supported and assisted in development by the Arbitrum officials, will undoubtedly be the biggest beneficiary. As a specialized game blockchain network, which high-quality games and projects has the XAI ecosystem attracted? This article will inventory six blockchain games in the XAI ecosystem.

Crypto Unicorns

Crypto Unicorns is a pet collection and simulation management game developed by Laguna Games. In March 2022, Crypto Unicorns raised $26 million through a token sale. The sale was led by metaverse company TCG and venture capital fund Backed VC, with participation from BITKRAFT Ventures, Delphi Digital, Infinity Venture Crypto, Polygon Studios, CoinFund, BreederDAO, Emfarsis, and ACME Capital.

The gameplay of Crypto Unicorns includes farm management, combat, racing, and team-based RPG battles. Each game mechanic features unicorns suited for different abilities. In terms of farm management, Land NFTs form the foundation for all activities. Players can use the land to increase productivity and produce materials to upgrade buildings. In this way, players can customize their farms and combine individual lands into communities to showcase to the world. This design is conducive to highly social gameplay.

Crypto Unicorns was initially established on the Polygon blockchain network. It announced its migration to XAI earlier this year. The game is currently on hold and is expected to reboot by the end of June. During the migration process, Crypto Unicorns converted its RBW token into $CU, with a seamless transition ratio of 10 to 1. As of May 24th, the price of CU token is approximately 0.37, with a weekly increase of about 36%.

Tarochi Game

Tarochi, the first fully on-chain RPG game released on XAI, was developed by Paima Studios. The studio has developed Paima, a Web3 engine optimized for games, gamification, and autonomous worlds. It can build Web3 applications in a few days and allows the use of web2 technologies to build on-chain games.

Tarochi adopts a retro pixel art style and is set in an immersive, autonomous decentralized world. Its gameplay shares some similarities with Pokemon, where players embark on an adventure journey, complete tasks, explore, battle, and capture monsters.

At the core of the Tarochi universe is its dynamic monster ecosystem. Each monster inhabits the wilderness areas of the game, available for players to battle or capture. These monsters are divided into different rarity levels, including common and uncommon with unlimited supply, rare, epic, and legendary with daily limited supply, and limited editions only released during specific events.

Prior to its launch in February this year, its NFT Genesis Trainer series sold out within 31 hours. On the first day of the game’s release, more than 7,000 independent players interacted with Tarochi and generated over 300,000 transactions.

Valeria Games

Valeria Games plans to launch two game products. The first, Valeria: Land Before the War, is a real-time strategy game suitable for Android and iOS platforms, currently in alpha stage. The game offers various gameplay modes, where players will summon, train, evolve and battle with Valerians, advance the storyline, and participate in player vs. player combat, missions, dungeons, survival mode, and tournaments. The second product, Valeria: Phygital Card Game, is a physical card tabletop game that combines the tangible appeal of a physical card game with digital NFTs. Its uniqueness lies in the fact that each card has a QR code, which players can scan to receive a digital version of the card NFT, merging real-life and online gaming.

In addition, Valeria Games is developing a third product that brings the Valeria universe into the realm of digital comics. This official webcomic will explore the world of Valeria, filled with magical creatures, resource-rich lands, and continuous battles. The comic will follow the journey of the main character Favian, witnessing his transformation from a nature enthusiast into a warrior battling conquerors.

Final Form

Final Form is a Rogue-Lite combat game based on digital cards, developed by Ex Populus. Players will use free limited-edition cards, summon allies, mutants, and relics to build increasingly powerful battle decks. Each victory in battle earns Chromos, the in-game fuel for evolution. The higher the rarity of the card, the more Chromos rewards are earned in battle. By using Chromos, players can push card evolution to legendary rarity, a process that requires players to sacrifice and burn cards, creating scarcity. Inspired by Rogue-Lite and Souls-Like games, losses in Final Form are severe; players lose almost everything, only retaining limited-edition cards, and then start over completely.

Final Form’s trading card system includes a set of standard rules used to determine card rarity, health, attack power, abilities, etc. Each limited-edition card set is produced in collaboration with famous artists, celebrities, and athletes, including former world heavyweight champion Mike Tyson. Inspired by traditional cards, this meticulously designed system maximizes versatility to meet the needs of various potential trading card games. Initially developed based on Solana, the game announced last June that it would migrate to XAI and launch at the end of the year. However, this fully-chain game that has been in development for over two years has not yet been launched, and the official release date is pending.

Ex Populus, led by a senior team from Pixar, Ubisoft, Activision, Blizzard, and Wargaming, is also developing another action/shooting game, LamoVerse, to be launched on XAI. Less information has been disclosed about LamoVerse; its rescue experience version was originally scheduled for release earlier this year.

Chains Of The Eternals

An open-world MMORPG full-chain game that can support up to 10 people in a single game. The game is inspired by Dofus and World of Warcraft. The core gameplay will be based on PvE battles, where players will earn rewards such as $KASH, loot, and resources by fighting original monsters of varying levels and perks. Each battle also allows the player’s character to gain experience (XP) and level up, unlocking new spells and abilities. As an MMORPG, Chains Of The Eternals allows players to team up with friends, fight against multiple monsters in real time, explore mysterious dungeons and obtain unique rewards. In addition, players will be able to compete against each other based on the faction system, choosing to join the defenders or rebels side, fighting other players and earning points for your camp.

In the latest development report released by the project, the developers revealed that they have created a stable version called V1 Alpha. The version is said to include PvE combat and fully integrated multiplayer. PvE combat is fully integrated into smart contracts, syncing visuals with the blockchain to ensure a smooth gaming experience.

The Lost Glitches

A trading card game, Lost Glitches combines the strategic complexity of a trading card game (CCG) with the immersive narrative and character development of a role-playing game (RPG). In the world of Lost Glitches, Deep Space, players form alliances with an in-game syndicate to craft personalized decks to participate in tactical battles, with a card battle mechanic similar to that of other cards built on blockchain networks such as Parallel and Gods Unchained. Card fighting games are similar. In April this year, the Xai Foundation announced a partnership with game publisher Mimunga and developer Honig Studios to bring The Lost Glitches to the Xai blockchain network. The Xai Foundation also invested an undisclosed amount of money into the project. Lost Glitches officially claims that the game will be exclusive to Xai, but currently players can only download it through the Epic Games Store.
