#5 Xpansion (XPS) – 8.13k
Launching in July 2021, Xpansion is a decentralized strategy game set in the future featuring virtual worlds powered by NFTs. The game also features decentralized land asset management and land development, meaning the ecosystem is fully powered by its players as a Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO).
Xpansion revolves around settling planets, accumulating resources, and building economic bases. Once players create their empires, they can raid rivals for their resources and defend their colonies against invasions.
The game also features the XPS token, the native cryptocurrency on their platform living on the Binance Smart Chain. Users can mint XPS via their Land NFTs and use the tokens to upgrade their settlements with resources to receive even more rewards. Users can also stake their XPS to other players’ Land to receive dividends from their pool.
At writing, XPS is trading at $0.053 with a 24-hour trading volume of $5k. Its market cap is $2.6 million, with a circulating supply of 50 million XPS.

Launching in November 2021, as the name suggests, BlockchainRPG is a blockchain-based RPG game built on WAX. It features a digital item Metaverse set in the fictional lands of Aurum.
The game revolves around hunting monsters, collecting resources, crafting tools, and competing against others. BlockchainRPG is built on a play-to-earn model allowing users to trade, buy, and sell their items on the marketplace.

#3 Prospectors (PGL) – 30k
Prospectors is an MMORPG blockchain-based game originally built on EOS but has since transitioned to WAX. The game revolves around starting a business and mining gold via various activities.
Users can build various assets, trade items, and resources on the marketplace, unite with other players to increase rewards, and earn PGL tokens with real-world value.
Prospectors is one of the longest-running games on this list, initially launching in 2019. The fact that the team has stuck with the project through thick and thin and even transitioned to a better blockchain shows that this game has real long-term potential.
If you’re looking for a new blockchain-based game to try out, I highly recommend Prospectors.
