We all know that Web3 is still under construction. This also applies to the games being developed within it - it's hard to find one that has already delivered 100% of its potential to us, the players. Web3 games are a young niche, and we need to be patient before we see something akin to Baldur's Gate or The Witcher in a blockchain version!

1.MEDIEVAL EMPIRES
If you follow my X or BULB even a little, you already know this game very well. If not, you’re about to get to know it - and love it.
Medieval Empires is an online multiplayer strategy game set in the late 13th century, focusing on Ertuğrul Gazi and his Kayi tribe's fight against invading forces. Players build towns, trade, fight, and form alliances. The game features PvE areas, daily missions, and evolving content with new factions like the Mongols and Byzantines (in future, now we have Turkish and English factions). Built on the Polygon (Immutable) blockchain, it ensures low fees, security, and eco-friendliness. The game is available on PC and will be released on mobile platforms.

How we can earn?
In the game, there are weekly tournaments where players earn points for the leaderboard by completing specific tasks announced before the tournament begins. Tasks may include things like "defeat as many enemy units as possible" or "complete the most daily missions." The top 200 players on the leaderboard will receive a share of the 25,000 $MEE prize pool, which they can use however they choose.
Pros (+) / Cons (-)
Pros:
- Various tasks in tournaments give even new players a chance to make it into the top 200,
- We don’t have to spend entire days in the game to reach a paid spot on the leaderboard. The gameplay is designed so that it’s enough to check in every once in a while.
Cons:
- At the time of writing this article, 25,000 $MEE is worth only $315. Dividing that among 200 people means a relatively small payout. Hopefully, time will be kind and lead to an increase in the value of the $MEE token.
2.GODS UNCHAINED
Do we have any card game fans here? Here’s something for you.
Gods Unchained is a free-to-play collectible card game (CCG), allowing players to own, buy, sell, and trade NFTs representing cards. The game focuses on strategic card battles, where players create decks to compete in both casual and competitive matches. Winning battles earns rewards and opportunities to acquire more powerful cards. Led by Chris Clay, the former game director of Magic: The Gathering Arena, the game focuses on competitive play, which means players must strategically outsmart their opponents by building decks that are able to combat a wide variety of tactics.

How we can earn?
Every day, you can play 10 matches, and for each win, you'll earn special fragments. At the end of the day, these fragments will be converted into $GODS tokens.

Pros (+) / Cons (-)
Pros:
- Daily rewards in the form of $GODS tokens,
- A large player community despite the game's long presence on the market,
- The average daily pool is 14k $GODS, which at the time of writing this article amounts to $4,000.
