An NFT is a non-interchangeable token that is a cryptographic unique key that provides the user with possession of a unique digital object. It can be an image, music or video. Developers of NFT games use blockchain technology to create an entire world or make certain items unique, which distinguishes such projects from the usual games.

We can say that right now the NFT-games industry is just in its infancy because the technology is not widely known. There are often scam projects, and most of these games are similar to the browser games of ten years ago. In the future, this technology is sure to grow in popularity and become a means of making money for thousands of people.

The gameplay itself in NFT games is often already familiar. This can be a classic sandbox, platformer, turn-based PVP-fighter, KKI or strategy. The main difference is just in the items themselves or even the cards, which in normal games do not have any value. For example, if you buy in Assassin`s Creed some costume, you can wear it only on your character, and sell it to someone else is not possible. Using NFT technology makes it possible to transfer or sell items to other users. There are even special marketplaces where such tokens are traded. Some people don’t even play the games themselves, but only buy items to sell them at a higher price.

Each NFT game has its own specifics, so I gathered some popular projects to tell how developers implemented blockchain technology in them and how they make money for usual players.

Be vigilant when choosing NFT games that you plan to not just play, but consider as an investment. There is absolutely no guarantee that any project will last for many years, its token and items will not depreciate, and you will not only be able to earn, but also withdraw your money. Always read the Tweets of companies that develop such games, see who is subscribed to them, look for the WhitePaper (a white paper – all the company’s plans for the future are written in it). Assess the risks and never spend all your savings.

NFT games appear almost every day. Among them there are many dubious projects, made on a crank. However, there are some unique ones that use blockchain to implement features previously unavailable in conventional games. App backing with tokens and the Play To Earn system are the future that could have a significant impact on the gaming industry. I would definitely recommend keeping an eye on projects, participating in giveaways, and taking free tasks for which you can get some sort of profit.
