<p>Longtime fans of Axie Infinity are rejoicing in the news that Sky Mavis has launched Axie Classic. The original form of the blockchain game that became a sensation is now back, although with some new twists. Since its creation, the Axie universe has led to the launch of several games like Axie Infinity: Origins and Axie Infinity: Homeland. However, the classic form of the game is here, so let's dive into some details.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><figure class="image"><img src="https://assets.funjible.games/axie_infinity_classic_01_63575d7a7c.jpg" alt="axie-infinity-classic-01.jpg" srcset="https://assets.funjible.games/thumbnail_axie_infinity_classic_01_63575d7a7c.jpg 245w,https://assets.funjible.games/small_axie_infinity_classic_01_63575d7a7c.jpg 500w,https://assets.funjible.games/medium_axie_infinity_classic_01_63575d7a7c.jpg 750w,https://assets.funjible.games/large_axie_infinity_classic_01_63575d7a7c.jpg 1000w," sizes="100vw"></figure><p>&nbsp;</p><h2><strong>A Few Changes for the Newly Launched Axie Classic</strong></h2><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Overall, players can expect a new tournament game mode, integration of Axie Experience Points (AXP), and curses. One change players will note is that Bloodmoon Rising is now the Cursed Coliseum. While engaging in matches in the Cursed Coliseum, the Coliseum places a curse on a random axie on each team. This curse results in the need for the player to replace two random parts from the axie suffering the curse. In addition, players cannot change their axies once a session starts in the Cursed Coliseum.</p><p>So why deal with curses in the first place? The answer is to earn AXP, which is used to level up a player's axies. Sky Mavis introduced the use of AXP for leveling axies with <a href="https://funjible.games/games/Axie-Infinity-Origins">Axie Infinity Origins</a> but that system is now found in Axie Classic as well. A player can earn up to 2,400 AXP per day for an axie and a grand total of 3,600 AXP per player per session. Players use a ticket to take part in a session. The game rewards players a free daily ticket once they clear PvE Map 10. The session lasts until the player loses three times or wins 12 times, whichever result occurs first. The AXP rewards for a session in the Cursed Coliseum is one win equals 50 AXP per axie. Players also win 50 AXP per axie for winning in PvP and Grand Tournament matches.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><figure class="image"><img src="https://assets.funjible.games/axie_infinity_classic_axp_integration_22d9e8e3a5.jpg" alt="axie-infinity-classic-axp-integration.jpg" srcset="https://assets.funjible.games/thumbnail_axie_infinity_classic_axp_integration_22d9e8e3a5.jpg 245w,https://assets.funjible.games/small_axie_infinity_classic_axp_integration_22d9e8e3a5.jpg 500w,https://assets.funjible.games/medium_axie_infinity_classic_axp_integration_22d9e8e3a5.jpg 750w,https://assets.funjible.games/large_axie_infinity_classic_axp_integration_22d9e8e3a5.jpg 1000w," sizes="100vw"></figure><p>&nbsp;</p><p>As for the new Grand Tournament mode, the game breaks the tournament into three phases. In the first phase, players registered for the tournament. Phase two sees players broken up into multiple groups of roughly 5,000 players each. Players battle each other for two weeks, at which point the top ten players from each group will move on to phase three. In this final phase, players fight until one is triumphant and wins the grand prize of Mystic Axie #1978.</p><div class="raw-html-embed"><iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/kE_lw--noko?si=dkQ1Dqo11_TSxASF" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><p>&nbsp;</p><h2><strong>Bringing Back the Magic</strong></h2><p>&nbsp;</p><p>So why are players happy with the launch of <a href="https://funjible.games/games/Axie-infinity">Axie Classic</a>? First and foremost, it brings back the original version of the game that became a sensation. People all over the world logged into the game to have fun and make some money. Sadly, the pandemic and other factors helped usher in the NFT crash of 2022, causing AXS (the game's crypto) and SLP (in-game token) to plummet in value. Hopefully, players will enjoy the nostalgia of the game's classic format, as well as enjoying the new features and AXP integration.</p><figure class="image"><img src="https://assets.funjible.games/axie_infinity_classic_02_52c4c37b6c.jpg" alt="axie-infinity-classic-02.jpg" srcset="https://assets.funjible.games/thumbnail_axie_infinity_classic_02_52c4c37b6c.jpg 245w,https://assets.funjible.games/small_axie_infinity_classic_02_52c4c37b6c.jpg 500w,https://assets.funjible.games/medium_axie_infinity_classic_02_52c4c37b6c.jpg 750w,https://assets.funjible.games/large_axie_infinity_classic_02_52c4c37b6c.jpg 1000w," sizes="100vw"></figure><p>&nbsp;</p><h2><strong>The Origins Shop Opens for Business</strong></h2><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Sky Mavis is also launching the Origins Shop in addition to Axie Classic. The shop contains cosmetic items for players to purchase, not to mention two exclusive axies: Rouge and Noir. Players purchase items in the Origins Shop with gems, which cost an average of one USDC per 100 gems. The two starter axies in the shop will originally list for 500 gems each but that price will go up in the future. As for cosmetic items, the shop sells them via a gacha system (random). The shop also sells upgrade materials.</p><p>The game uses the funds made from gem sales in two ways. First, the game sends 10% of the revenue into the Axie Community Treasury. The other 90% goes into the Origins Vault, which will be used to create a stronger team, expand into more countries, recruit many more players, and help grow the Treasury by ensuring strong growth overall.</p><figure class="image"><img src="https://assets.funjible.games/axie_infinity_origins_shop_e55d3e9468.jpg" alt="axie-infinity-origins-shop.jpg" srcset="https://assets.funjible.games/thumbnail_axie_infinity_origins_shop_e55d3e9468.jpg 245w,https://assets.funjible.games/small_axie_infinity_origins_shop_e55d3e9468.jpg 500w,https://assets.funjible.games/medium_axie_infinity_origins_shop_e55d3e9468.jpg 750w,https://assets.funjible.games/large_axie_infinity_origins_shop_e55d3e9468.jpg 1000w," sizes="100vw"></figure><p><br>&nbsp;</p><figure class="media"><oembed url="https://youtu.be/kE_lw--noko?si=lbOqPC7QIdbAMmdd"></oembed></figure>

The classic form of Axie Infinity returns with some new twists

Axie Classic Returns Along With New Shop

<p>Once again, the air of the Ether Islands is filled with gunfire and shouts of rage. Citizen Conflict launched its Alpha 4.0 just a few days ago on the Epic Games store. The new alpha for the dystopian shooter ushers in some ruthless new heroes, a couple of deadly weapons, and dangerous new maps to battle over. In addition, the new alpha features a number of gameplay improvements and some interesting progression systems.</p><div class="raw-html-embed"><iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/AId-91yCwwA?si=Gz9YUV9o-2NNY2iX" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><p>&nbsp;</p><h2><strong>Citizen Conflict Alpha 4.0 Introduces Multiple Progression Methods</strong></h2><p>&nbsp;</p><p>One of the most interesting features of Alpha 4.0 for Citizen Conflict is the introduction of three progression systems for players. Developers designed the systems to add some freshness and fun challenges to players leveling up their heroes and unlocking new weapons. The weapon task progression system entails players completing specific tasks to unlock new weapons. Players can find the details of such tasks by viewing the specifics of locked weapons.</p><p>The second progression system is the account level progression. Players advance through this system by accumulating experience points. <a href="https://funjible.games/games/Citizen-Conflict">Citizen Conflict</a> players gain experience points by winning matches, completing daily and weekly tasks, killing opponents, and other activities. Gaining levels rewards players with new gadgets, weapons, and other in-game assets.</p><figure class="image"><img src="https://assets.funjible.games/citizen_conflict_barb_6099cd6b15.jpg" alt="citizen-conflict-barb.jpg" srcset="https://assets.funjible.games/thumbnail_citizen_conflict_barb_6099cd6b15.jpg 245w,https://assets.funjible.games/small_citizen_conflict_barb_6099cd6b15.jpg 500w,https://assets.funjible.games/medium_citizen_conflict_barb_6099cd6b15.jpg 750w,https://assets.funjible.games/large_citizen_conflict_barb_6099cd6b15.jpg 1000w," sizes="100vw"></figure><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Finally, the Battle Pass allows players to gain rewards, such as in-game assets and cosmetics, by earning stars. Players gain stars by fulfilling daily and weekly tasks as well as consistently being victorious on the battlefield.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><h2><strong>New Maps, Heroes, and Weapons</strong></h2><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Citizen Conflict Alpha 4.0 includes the content from the previous alpha but does add some new items as well. Overall, the new alpha features 11 heroes, five maps, and 17 weapons. This latest test phase introduces two new weapons: the Amp, a double-barrel shotgun that is devastating at close range, and the Cyclone, an SMG that inflicts high damage in short to mid-range combat.</p><p>Players can take to the battlefield three new heroes. Billy the Bully (support role) is a narcissistic, manipulative smart-ass. Blinder (medic role) is a tough-as-nails fighter who chose to become a cyborg as he hates everything that is human. Barb (specialist role) appears as a petite dancer, but her demeanor harbors an iron will as she exudes grace and agility while using her sharpshooting skills.</p><figure class="image"><img src="https://assets.funjible.games/citizen_conflict_smg_72e43882e7.jpg" alt="citizen-conflict-smg.jpg" srcset="https://assets.funjible.games/thumbnail_citizen_conflict_smg_72e43882e7.jpg 245w,https://assets.funjible.games/small_citizen_conflict_smg_72e43882e7.jpg 500w,https://assets.funjible.games/medium_citizen_conflict_smg_72e43882e7.jpg 750w,https://assets.funjible.games/large_citizen_conflict_smg_72e43882e7.jpg 1000w," sizes="100vw"></figure><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The new alpha boasts five maps where multiple sides vie for control. Citizen Conflict features an intriguing takeover system that can have up to three different sides engaging on a map. The map details are:</p><ul><li>New Pressburg – Three control points and two teams</li><li>Poseidon Hotel – Four control points and three teams</li><li>Elite Enclave – Four control points and three teams</li><li>Arctic Lab – Three control points and two teams</li><li>District – Three control points and three teams</li></ul><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Citizen Conflict Alpha 4.0 includes a host of game improvements. These improvements include bug fixes, enhance mini-map layouts, improved bullet traces and impact decals, enhanced performance of the character animation system, a new dashboard layout, revamped UI layout, and enhanced hit reception, weapon effects, and animations.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><h2><strong>Building on Immutable</strong></h2><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Citizen Conflict aims to provide the best possible gaming experience to its players. This desire extends to the game's very foundation as the game chose to build on the Immutable blockchain. The game's goal of using Immutable is to establish them as “leaders in gaming, expand our reach without compromising security, and create the ultimate player-driven economy experience.”</p><p>A key component of Immutable's tech stack is StarkWare. This system helps process a large amount of transactions off-chain before batching and finalizing them on the Ethereum chain through the use of cryptographic methods called STARKs (Scalable Transparent Arguments of Knowledge). STARKs reduce both the cost and congestion of the Ethereum mainnet in a significant way.</p>

Latest alpha adds new maps, heroes, and more

Citizen Conflict Alpha 4.0 Underway!

<p>One of the most interesting features of blockchain games is that the underlying technology is easily used for creating a shared universe of gaming experiences. One such project is Illuvium, which is comprised of several different games: Illuvium Overworld (an open world exploration game), Illuvium Arena (an auto-battler game), Illuvium Zero (an industrial city building game), and Illuvium Beyond (a collectible card project). The project is expanding in the coming months due to some new updates and features, which we'll quickly look over. However, the biggest news is the launch date for Illuvium Arena has been revealed!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><div class="raw-html-embed"><iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/IvVGNc_lYsA?si=uj6Z3sHsTUHRYuAu" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><p>&nbsp;</p><h2><strong>PvP Is Arriving!</strong></h2><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Illuvium recently announced that its Beta 3 starts on November 28 at 20:00 UTC. This beta features the launch of Illuvium Arena, where players duel each other in epic battles. The launch of Beta 3 means the end of Private Beta 2. However, Beta 2 players can still continue to adventure in Illuvium Overworld, which remains in private beta.</p><p>In the meantime, Illuvium Arena started early access for some players. The game opened up early access earlier today to the top 100 Arena players by playtime, the top 100 Zero players by playtime, and the top 100 Beyond players on the leaderboard. There is no word on if other players will be given early access before the 28th.</p><h2>&nbsp;</h2><h2><strong>Illuvium Attracting Attention</strong></h2><p>&nbsp;</p><p>First and foremost, Illuvium has been garnering a lot of notice over its development cycle. At least 1.5 million players have signed up to test the game. The number of eyeballs that are exposed to Illuvium will skyrocket as the project is being added to the Epic Games Store, a platform that distributes major titles like Fortnite. Players will soon be able to access Overworld, Arena, and Zero from Epic Games Store. Also, major players from games like Hearthstone and TFT have given <a href="https://funjible.games/games/Illuvium">Illuvium</a> a thumbs-up due to the game's tremendous graphics, blockchain-based ownership, and competitiveness. Now that competitiveness is going to go up a lot as PvP gameplay is coming to Illuvium Arena. This new feature is expected to debut sometime later this month.</p><p>Another update players are looking forward to is the Public Beta 3 for Illuvium Overworld. The previous public beta introduced two new realms for exploration as well as some new game mechanics. It stands to reason that the third beta test will follow in a similar vein by adding some new regions and mechanics. Another update for the Illuvium universe is the recent release of the second wave for Illuvium Beyond. This wave features 25 Illuvitars and 75 accessories for players to collect. A promo sale for this second wave begins on December 12th and lasts through December 19th.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><div class="raw-html-embed"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">🍃Soka's Garden is calling Rangers... 🌹 Are you ready to answer the call? <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Illuvium?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Illuvium</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Web3Gaming?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Web3Gaming</a> <a href="https://t.co/aXI2LM84tb">pic.twitter.com/aXI2LM84tb</a></p>— Illuvium (@illuviumio) <a href="https://twitter.com/illuviumio/status/1721960364223389820?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 7, 2023</a></blockquote> <script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script> </div><p>&nbsp;</p><h2><strong>IlluviDex Getting a Major Upgrade</strong></h2><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The hub of the project is the IlluviDex, the marketplace for all the assets players can buy, sell, and trade in the Illuvium universe. The developers recently noted that the IlluviDex will soon be gaining a host of new features players will find useful. One such feature will be the ability to negotiate prices, so let's hope your bargaining skills are pretty good!</p><p>The IlluviDex is also adding a sitewide checkout system. Instead of buying each asset one at a time, players will have the ability to add them to a cart and then pay for them all at one time. Another feature the marketplace plans on adding is the stacking of cards. When a player normally goes to a Web3 marketplace, they usually see several pages of the same item. This system often leads to frustration for players. The IlluviDex solves this issue by stacking all the same items in one market slot.</p><div class="raw-html-embed"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">😲💥 The enchanting yet fearsome Tenrec family in <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Illuvium?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Illuvium</a>, now with dazzling VFX!

In addition, when a player views an asset, they will see which of the games the asset belongs to, which also emphasizes the cross-functionality and interoperability of assets within the shared universe.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><h2><strong>Dealing With Regulations</strong></h2><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The developers of Illuvium have reasoned that regulation over blockchain and cryptocurrency projects is a matter of when and not if. Thus, they decided to explore regulation now in order to show that the project is trusted, stable, and verified. To do this, Illuvium Labs FZCO has filed an application with the Virtual Asset Regulatory Authority (VARA) in Dubai. The project filed the application on September 8, 2023, after receiving an Application Acknowledgment Notice from VARA. There is no timetable on when the authorities in Dubai will approve, deny, or seek changes to the application. It should be noted that the project has secured funding for full operation over the next 12+ months, and the development team boasts over 125 dedicated individuals.</p><p>As you can see, players in the Illuvium universe have a lot to look forward to. New NFTs, PvP gameplay, a new beta, and massive improvements to the marketplace are just around the corner.</p>

Early access for PvP action in Illuvium has started! 

Illuvium Arena PvP Beta Launch Date Announced

<p>Blockchain gaming looks to its underlying technology to expand the possibilities for players. The reality is that many such games fall short, but Pixels is one Web3 game looking to reach for the stars. Probably the project's most important feature is its focus on integration.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><h2><strong>The Basics of Pixels</strong></h2><p>&nbsp;</p><p>At its core, Pixels, which just moved to the <a href="https://funjible.games/games?blockchain=Ronin&amp;sortBy=4">Ronin blockchain</a>, is a colorful, pixel-based game of resource management. Players create a farm on a plot of land and then plant crops, harvest resources, learn skills, and upgrade and customize their farm over time. Players can choose to use a piece of land for free (called a Speck) or choose to rent or buy a small or large piece of land. Naturally, players owning land will generate the most resources, followed by renters and then by players farming their free plot of land. So where does integration come into play?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><figure class="image"><img src="https://assets.funjible.games/pixels_land_small_15c65e2fe9.jpg" alt="pixels-land-small.jpg" srcset="https://assets.funjible.games/thumbnail_pixels_land_small_15c65e2fe9.jpg 156w,https://assets.funjible.games/small_pixels_land_small_15c65e2fe9.jpg 500w,https://assets.funjible.games/medium_pixels_land_small_15c65e2fe9.jpg 750w," sizes="100vw"></figure><p>Well, Pixels has taken the innovative step of integrating other NFT collections into its platform. There are over 50 NFT collections currently integrated into the game, such as Bored Ape Yacht Club, Chibi Dinos, Crypto Zombiez, Cyber Snails, and Grillz Gang. This integration allows for players to adventure through Pixels using their NFT as their avatar. However, the game integrating such NFTs is just the beginning.</p><h2>&nbsp;</h2><h2><strong>Integration Hits the Next Level</strong></h2><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Pixels' tooling allows for the integration of tokens, land NFTs, utility NFTs, and PFP NFTs from other projects. Other games and platforms can create their own world within Pixels that is unique for players to experience. The game can support multiple tokens in its own store, and, thus, allow other projects to create their own store within Pixels. The game even provides a burn mechanism in-game, if needed, for external tokens.</p><p>So how does this integration pan out? Well, players can look forward to being able to enjoy many different types of gaming experiences within the <a href="https://funjible.games/games/Pixels">Pixels</a> metaverse. Each project can create its own gameplay mechanics, quests, NPCs, themes, utilities, and more. For example, one project can create a racing game using various mythological beasts while another project creates a post-apocalyptic mmorpg where players struggle for survival. Another project can host a virtual carnival, filled with games and attractions for players to partake of.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><div class="raw-html-embed"><iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/i6dt095woS8?si=NTGGWNRkyhHdPw3R" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Each individual project integrated into Pixels can offer a unique experience to the player. A gamer can carry their inventory into every new world, but it is not a given that inventory items will work in that world. Also, a player will accrue experience in each unique world that will be separate from all other worlds. This means that a player can be of the highest level in the post-apocalyptic mmorpg discussed above but will be of zero experience when first entering the imagined racing world.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><h2><strong>What Is the Overall Goal?</strong></h2><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The developers of Pixels note that earlier blockchain games focused on financial speculation as players joined a game to hopefully make some money. However, Pixels focuses on providing a fun and rewarding experience for players first and foremost. The goal is that playing Pixels is worthwhile in itself, but it's not a bad thing if a player could make some revenue as well.</p><p>The integration of other projects serves to expand the possible player base exponentially, not to mention the various kinds of gameplay modes as well. A player can use their favorite Bored Ape Yacht Club NFT in Pixels by playing the basic farming game, then choosing to enter a portal to a FPS project, followed by doing quests in a fantasy MMO, and so on. Each new project integration just expands the gaming possibilities for players, all the while owning everything they create.<br>&nbsp;</p>

This game is a strategic resource management game. Zombie Outbreak Survival is set in the town of Nitel, the unfortunate source of a virus outbreak that has destroyed the world. Players control the human survivors that seek to rebuild civilization while scavenging resources and fighting against the undead. Zombie Outbreak Survival features several game modes, like supply runs (both solo and multiplayer) as well as boss battles. The game recently celebrated two years of being live (or should it be considered undead?).</p><div class="raw-html-embed"><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/tl-3S11o95k?si=WD3hgczvNlaF4J4y" title="YouTube video player" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0"></iframe></div><p>&nbsp;</p><h2>Araya</h2><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Our list of horror Web3 games focuses now on Araya. Originally created as a Web2 game, the FEAR platform converted Araya into a blockchain game. In this game, players investigate the murder of a young woman, Araya, who was found dead in a hospital in Bangkok, Thailand. Players experience the narrative through the viewpoint of three different characters: Marisa, Rama, and Boon. Marisa was the best friend of Araya, Rama is a security guard that works at the hospital, and Boon is a person who ventures into the hospital in order to cover a gambling debt he owes to criminals. Araya provides a truly immersive gaming experience that ramps up the scare factor quite a bit, especially through the use of sound. What better way to enjoy Halloween than tramping through a creepy hospital looking for ghosts?<br>&nbsp;</p><h2>The Sandbox</h2><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The next entry on our horror Web3 games list consists of <a href="https://funjible.games/games/The-Sandbox">The Sandbox</a>. It is true that The Sandbox is a metaverse and not solely a horror game, but it does feature zones that offer some chilling gameplay. The most notable horror-themed area features The Walking Dead, the long-lasting zombie series on AMC. This zone boasts of several locations from the show that fans would be dying (pun intended) to explore. Another horrifying area to explore is Kai's Nightmare. This zone features players vying against an ancient evil's psychic powers within an abandoned asylum. Sounds like fun!</p><div class="raw-html-embed"><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/x8w89PriaE4?si=6TfL-lub_33sVcGL" title="YouTube video player" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0"></iframe></div><p>&nbsp;</p><h2>Bornless</h2><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Our attention on our list of horror Web3 games now turns to Bornless. While the game is still in development, it is worth keeping an eye on. <a href="https://funjible.games/games/Bornless">Bornless</a> serves up a lot of first-person shooter action in a very dark setting reminiscent of the works of H.P. Lovecraft. The game is set in the town of Farmouth where the nexus point between the human and demon realms is located. However, the nexus point is blurred, setting up an epic fight between the forces of good and evil. Bornless features multiple game modes, along with the ability of players to set up their safehouses, create factions, and personalize their gear.</p><div class="raw-html-embed"><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/NpQOvVPyaKw?si=8H24-yEAKPH45Xnn" title="YouTube video player" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0"></iframe></div><p>We hope this list of horror Web3 games provides you with some Halloween thrills and chills.

<p>The Web3 launch of Wreck League is starting off with a huge bang! The strategic mech-versus-mech combat game is featuring an intense PvP tournament that offers those at the top of the leaderboard some tremendous rewards. Dubbed Mezi's Mayhem, the PvP tournament runs from now through September 28.</p><div class="raw-html-embed"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">🚨LIVE NOW!🚨<br><br>⚔️Fight other players in real-time PVP in Wreck League's first leaderboard tournament.<br><br>🏆Head to the website, open your boxes, build your mechs, download the game, and play to get some dope on-chain prizes!<br><br>🎮Mez'i's Mayhem starts NOW! <a href="https://t.co/iwutco0Owg">pic.twitter.com/iwutco0Owg</a></p>— Wreck League (@WreckLeagueHQ) <a href="https://twitter.com/WreckLeagueHQ/status/1702382191089688689?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 14, 2023</a></blockquote> <script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script> </div><h2><strong>How to Participate in the Tournament</strong></h2><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The steps needed to take part in the tournament are easily followed. First, players need to either buy a mech in a marketplace or build one in their Wreck League Garage. Second, participants have to go to the game's website and download the game client. Players then have to install the <a href="https://funjible.games/games/Wreck-League">Wreck League</a> game app on their Mac, Android, or PC and then create an account and connect their wallet. Finally, players need to fight in matches during the tournament's designated times to earn points.</p><p>That's right – players can only engage in PvP matches during three designated time periods every day. The rest of the day can be used for solo matches against bots to allow players to hone their strategies and test out their mechs. The three time periods are as follows:</p><ul><li>3:00 AM to 4:30 AM daily</li><li>11:00 AM to 12:30 PM daily</li><li>7:00 PM to 8:30 PM daily</li></ul><p>&nbsp;</p><p>As you can see, each time period lasts for 90 minutes. These designated times are the only times players can earn points for the leaderboard. Wreck League notes that they might change the times in order to accommodate player needs, so it's worth checking the game's social media to keep abreast of any time changes implemented.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><h2><strong>Tournament Points Explained</strong></h2><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The Mezi's Mayhem tournament for Wreck League has a fairly simple system for points. If you win a battle, you gain a point. However, you lose a point if you lose a battle. An important fact to remember is that a player's points cannot drop below zero.</p><p>Consistently gaining points is hard to do in Mezi's Mayhem tournament. As a player rises up the leaderboard, they face increasingly tougher opponents. The game ranks players based on their accumulated points. Likewise, a player who loses a number of battles in a row will then face easier opponents, allowing them to begin winning again.</p><div class="raw-html-embed"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">🥊 Brush up on your skills for Mez’i’s Mayhem!<br><br>Render your opponent unconscious with a flurry of kicks using the hard-hitting Double Roundhouse skill with your mech’s legs, allowing for combo attacks to ensue.<br><br>🦾 Buff up while your opponent is crashing down and follow up with… <a href="https://t.co/fytV8Ff0rS">pic.twitter.com/fytV8Ff0rS</a></p>— Wreck League (@WreckLeagueHQ) <a href="https://twitter.com/WreckLeagueHQ/status/1702429473600389531?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 14, 2023</a></blockquote> <script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script> </div><p>The result of this point system and player ranking is that players will eventually plateau at a certain level. To break through to a higher level, they will need to improve their skill as well as enhancing their mech. Thus, the downtime provided to allow players to engage in solo battles to work on their strategies and test out new mechs and combinations.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><h2><strong>What Can You Win?</strong></h2><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The Mezi's Mayhem tournament for Wreck League offers some great rewards. The game offers rewards from first place down to 17,000th place! Of course, the higher the ranking a player has on the leaderboard, the greater the reward. For example, the bottom seven thousand players (10K to 17K) on the leaderboard will get a common mech piece. Players in the 5K to 10K range will earn an uncommon piece. Those placing between 2k and 5k will get a rare part.</p><p>Other rewards include booster boxes (which contain multiple parts at various rarity levels) and Majestic boxes (which contain 10 parts allowing players to mint a new mech). The second-biggest reward is a mech set, which is a mech made up of parts that are part of a themed collection. These mech sets will be highly coveted.</p><p>The biggest prize, the Iconic Holospec, will be given to the top three players for the tournament. These NFTs allow players to unlock an Arena NFT at a future date. Players who have an Arena NFT have the ability to host their own custom buy-in tournaments, allowing them to earn revenue by receiving a percentage of the tournament participants' buy-in fees.</p><p>If you wish to take your shot at topping the leaderboard, hop into Wreck League now and begin taking part in the PvP tournament before it ends on September 28.<br><br><strong>Share your </strong><a href="https://funjible.games/games/Wreck-League/user-reviews"><strong>honest game review of Wreck League</strong></a><strong> on Funjible Games and help other gamers discover web3 games.&nbsp;</strong></p>

However, integration with other projects is a priority for Pixels.</p><p>Pixels has integrated over 50 different NFT projects, via MetaMask, into the game, allowing players to venture throughout the Pixels Universe as their NFT.

They realize that the first wave of Web3 games focused solely on speculative earning potential that sacrificed fun gameplay.</p><p>Pixels is working on creating a metaverse that players look forward to spending time in.
