Guild of Guardians has been unambiguously one of the most anticipated blockchain games for several years, and finally, we have a release date. What Is ‘Guild of Guardians’? Guild of Guardians is a free-to-play, mobile-based, fantasy RPG on iOS and Android that utilizes blockchain technology and runs on the Immutable zkEVM, an Ethereum scaling solution that is gaming-centric. For those who want a better feel for gameplay, it is a roguelite squad RPG with a focus on crafting and earning tradeable, on-chain rewards. Only the brave can stand up against the Dread… Brace yourselves for May 15, 202 ..read more

There are few games that have been around since the dawn of blockchain gaming and are still going strong, but Gods Unchained is one of them. I went back through my files and work to see when the first time I mentioned the blockchain TCG was and it was mid-2018. In fact, toward the end of 2018, I made a video where I predicted the best blockchain games that would release the next year, and Gods Unchained was in my top five. You only need to search the game’s name here to see just how many times we’ve covered it. Although I seldom reach for a TCG when I want to play a game, I’ve put in a fair am ..read more

Play-to-Earn (P2E) and gaming tokens will never be the same, and that’s a good thing. We do not want mindless “games” that call for the player to click once per hour to earn a token. That isn’t gaming — honestly, I’m not sure what it is. Unsustainable? However, this isn’t to say that earning from games is dead nor, necessarily, that playing a game to earn money is either. It sounds contradictory, but it isn’t. The P2E era, as short as it was, saw what could be at best classified as mini-games, rushed to market for the sole purpose of having a token (and sometimes NFTs) that sell. We’re past th ..read more

This is an unusual post for Token Gamer, but you’ll have to hear me out. For the past five years, I have been writing an inordinate amount of content for Token Gamer and that will continue. However, you may have noticed that in the past few weeks, there has been a (very rare) dip in the amount of articles posted. Well, there’s a good reason for that. I have been working round the clock on a new project in the space that I want to share. Introducing: Rise’n’Crypto, a Daily Crypto Podcast Rise’n’Crypto is a daily podcast with a clear goal: to give you a debrief every morning on all the importan ..read more

Spielworks has acquired Wasder.gg, a social platform for web3 games, and is looking to integrate it into the already flourishing Wombat ecosystem. This crypto winter has been brutal for those in the industry, with the frost claiming the lives of many beloved organizations in the space. My strategy for Token Gamer was simple: survive at all costs. That is, do whatever it takes to ensure that when the sun is out again, Token Gamer is still a key voice in blockchain gaming. This seemed like the best path to take, but some organizations have gone a rather different route. Spielworks owns and runs ..read more

Rarible is one of the most recognizable names in web3, particularly in the NFT sector, and while many organizations are winding down or have gone skeletal for the winter, Rarible hasn’t. Robert Baggs and John Nicholls have decided to combine forces to launch the weekly Mint One Podcast. Each week they will discuss a new topic around web3, as well as feature special guests from all corners of the industry. If there’s a topic you’d like us to cover, make sure you let us know through the Token Gamer Discord or Twitter, or Mint One Twitter. In the last episode, we discussed the biggest crypto cons ..read more

Social web3 MMO, Pixels, made the bold move over to Ronin in September. This turned into something of a masterstroke from Ronin with the UAWs (Unique Active Wallets) rocketing in the past 30 days. But, if you take a deeper look into the analytics, there is even more information to be gleaned. Ronin and Its Emerging Game Empire Sky Mavis announced in March that it wanted to bring external games to Ronin, and on that charge, it has done well, not only with Pixels, but The Machines Arena too. Axie Infinity is, of course, what propelled Ronin to the heights it is, but with Play-to-Earn almost bell ..read more
