On May 24th, the on-chain voting of the "200 million ARB Game Catalyst Plan" proposed by the Arbitrum community will officially begin. The proposal aims to provide a three-year incentive plan for the Arbitrum gaming ecosystem, with a total of 200 million ARB tokens, to empower the ecosystem through Web3 industry studios and games. This voting will end on June 7th, and based on the results of the snapshot voting conducted in March, the on-chain voting is expected to pass smoothly, barring any unforeseen circumstances.

And the L3 gaming chain XAI ecosystem, which is directly supported and assisted in its development by the Arbitrum official, will undoubtedly be the biggest beneficiary. As a dedicated gaming blockchain network, what high-quality games and projects has the XAI ecosystem attracted? This article will take stock of the 6 blockchain games in the XAI ecosystem.

Crypto Unicorns

A pet collection and simulation management game developed by Laguna Games. In March 2022, Crypto Unicorns raised $26 million through token sales, led by TCG, a metaverse company, and backed by VC. BITKRAFT Ventures, Delphi Digital, Infinity Venture Crypto, Polygon Studios, CoinFund, BreederDAO, Emfarsis, and ACME Capital also participated.

Crypto Unicorns' gameplay includes farming, dueling, racing, and team RPG battles. Due to different corresponding abilities, each game mechanism has a more suitable unicorn to use. In terms of farming, land NFT is the foundation of 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 showcase them to the world by combining individual lands into communities, which is also suitable for highly social gameplay.

Crypto Unicorns was initially built on the Polygon blockchain network and announced its migration to XAI earlier this year. The game is currently temporarily suspended and is expected to resume by the end of June. During the migration process, Crypto Unicorns will convert its token RBW to $CU seamlessly at a conversion ratio of 10:1. As of May 24th, the price of $CU token is approximately 0.37, with a rise of about 36% in the past week.

Tarochi Game

The first full-chain RPG game released on XAI, developed by Paima Studios. Paima, developed by the studio, is a Web3 engine optimized for games, gamification, and autonomous worlds, enabling the construction of Web3 applications within a few days and allowing the use of web2 technology to build on-chain games.

Tarochi adopts a retro style with pixel art, set in an immersive and decentralized world. In terms of gameplay, Tarochi has some similarities with Pokemon, where players embark on an adventure to complete missions, explore, battle, and capture monsters.

The core of Tarochi is its dynamic monster ecosystem, where each monster inhabits the wilderness areas of the game and can be battled or captured by players. These monsters are classified into different rarity levels, including common and uncommon with unlimited supply, rare, epic, and legendary with daily limited supply, as well as limited edition monsters only available during specific events.

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

Valeria Games

Valeria Games plans to launch two game products, among which the real-time strategy game Valeria: Land Before the War is available on Android and iOS platforms, and is currently in the alpha stage. The game offers various gameplay options, where players can summon, train, evolve, and battle against Valerians, while advancing the storyline. Additionally, players can participate in player battles, missions, dungeons, survival mode, and tournaments. The physical card game Valeria: Phygital Card Game is a card-based tabletop game that combines the tangible appeal of physical card games with digital NFTs. What makes it unique is that each card has a QR code, and players will receive a digital version of the card as an NFT after scanning it, integrating real-life and online gaming.

In addition, Valeria Games' third work brings the Valeria Universe into the digital comic realm. This official webcomic will explore the world of Valeria, filled with magical creatures, resource-rich lands, and ongoing battles. The comic follows the journey of the male protagonist Favian, witnessing his transformation from a nature lover to a warrior fighting conquerors.

Final Form

A digital card-based Rogue-Lite battle game developed by Ex Populus. Players will use free limited edition cards, summon companions, mutants, and relics to build increasingly powerful battle decks. Each victory in battle will earn Chromos, the fuel for evolution in the game. The higher the rarity of the card, the more Chromos rewards players will receive in battles. By using Chromos, players will be able to evolve cards to legendary rarity, and the evolution process requires players to sacrifice and burn cards, creating scarcity. Inspired by Rogue-Lite and Souls-Like games, the losses in Final Form are very severe, and players will lose almost everything, leaving only limited edition cards, and then start over completely.

The Final Form's collectible card system includes a set of standard rules that determine the rarity, life points, attack power, abilities, etc. of the cards. Each limited edition card set is created in collaboration with famous artists, celebrities, and athletes, including former world heavyweight champion Mike Tyson, and so on. Inspired by traditional card games, this meticulously designed system maximizes versatility to meet the needs of various potential collectible card games. The game was initially developed on Solana and announced in June of last year to migrate to Xai and was launched at the end of the year. However, this fully developed blockchain game, which has been in development for over two years, has not yet been released, and the official release date is yet to be determined.

Ex Populus is led by a senior team from companies such as Pixar, Ubisoft, Activision, Blizzard, and War Games. Another action/shooting game developed by them, LamoVerse, will also be launched on Xai. There is limited information available about LamoVerse, and its early access version was originally planned to be released earlier this year.

Chains Of The Eternals

A fully chained game of the open world MMORPG type that supports up to 10 players per game. The game is inspired by Dofus and World of Warcraft. The core gameplay will be based on PvE battles, where players will fight against primal monsters of different levels and privileges to obtain rewards such as $KASH, loot, and resources. Each battle will also allow 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, engage in real-time battles against multiple monsters, explore mysterious dungeons, and obtain unique rewards. Additionally, players will be able to engage in faction-based confrontations, choosing to join either the Defenders or the Rebels, fighting against other players and earning points for your faction.

In the latest development report released by the project team, developers revealed that they have created a stable version called V1 Alpha. It is said that this version includes PvE battles and fully integrated multiplayer games. PvE battles have been fully integrated into smart contracts.

The Lost Glitches

A collectible card game, Lost Glitches combines the strategic complexity of a collectible card game (CCG) with the immersive storytelling and character development of a role-playing game (RPG). In the world of Lost Glitches, called "Deep Space," players ally themselves with a faction in the game, create personalized decks to engage in tactical battles. Its card battle mechanics are similar to other blockchain-based card fighting games like Parallel and Gods Unchained. In April of this year, the Xai Foundation announced a collaboration with game publisher Mimunga and developer Honig Studios to bring The Lost Glitches to the Xai blockchain network. The Xai Foundation has also invested undisclosed funds in the project. Lost Glitches claims to be exclusive to Xai, but currently players can only download it through the Epic Games Store.
