For a gamer and computer game lover, there is nothing more exciting than the anticipation of new games. Let's look at the most anticipated games on the blockchain , which should appear in 2019, in alphabetical order.
Age of rust
Given that the American developer SpacePirate Games has been working on Age of Rust since mid-2017, it’s not surprising that the game has undergone some changes.
In particular, the game began with a bitcoin-based Counterparty with its own cryptocurrency Rustbits, but since then it has become part of the multiverse Enjin Multiverse and its games based on the Ethereum blockchain .
The focus of the game itself has also changed, since from someone's design work, SpacePirate has turned into a full-fledged studio development.
Most notable was the transformation of the textual adventure into a three-dimensional open world game. This led to the emergence of combat missions, while Age of Rust retained an emphasis on research and puzzles.
Another long-term feature was the interaction. For example, Age of Rust has always been closely associated with the Neon District and (as a Counterparty project) also supported BitCrystals's Book of Orbs wallet.
Obviously, this kind of interaction will be greatly improved by using Enjin. All Multiverse games are designed with this in mind and must support a common set of items.
More details can be found on the website Age of Rust .
Blankos block party
In the first release of the American gaming blockchain platform Mythical Games, developed by the British company Third Kind Games, there is still no detailed information about the Blankos Block Party.
What we definitely know is that Blankos is “fun and naughty vinyl toys that live in their own unusual world and good vibrations.” And this particular game will be one of the MMO, originally released for PC / Mac.
In addition, in this game, users expect an emphasis on collectibles. Since the game runs on the EOS blockchain , this will allow developers to cope with many of the difficulties associated with individual wallets, etc.
Full details are available on the Blankos website.
Crypto Space Commander
As in other games on the blockchain of 2018, key changes have occurred in the Crypto Space Commander. Originally developed as a browser game, Crypto Space Commander has since moved to the full PC client version. This postponed its planned release from the end of 2018 to 2019.
However, the main vision – the experience of space exploration, trade and military operations on Ethereum, remain unchanged.
Indeed, a shift in emphasis and the extension of development time will lead to more exciting experiences. It also allowed the Lucid Sight developer to create his community by selling items from the spacecraft and mining in the form of a simple browser-based mini-game.
To date, the game has been attended by more than 16,000 users.
As for plans for the future, the game moves to alpha version 1.0, which will allow players to experience the original taste of the universe, which ultimately promises more than 900 star systems for mining, crafts, commerce and battles.

Cryptowars
The Argentinean developer Experimental (aka E11) worked on his strategic game, CryptoWars, based on the blockchain, for most of 2018. Now we can already evaluate the results.
Working on the Ethereum blockchain, using Loom sidechains for their gameplay and Metamask wallet to enter the system, CryptoWars is broadly based on free games in the “build and fight” genre such as Clash of Clans.
Thus, you collect and use resources (gold and crystals) to build and improve your buildings, create armies for plunder Quantum Dust (quantum dust is a resource of competitive game rating) and explore technologies.
Another key element of the game is the ability to enter into alliances to accomplish joint missions and high-level goals.
Active use of sidechains means that there is no commission for gas in the game, but you can buy and sell character skins, as well as starter packs, to speed up the initial construction of the base.
Currently undergoing alpha testing, from January to April four special weekly test tournaments were held. After that, CryptoWars should be presented to the public.

Gods unchained
Thanks to the successful pre-sale of items and the closed beta, rival TCG Gods Unchained from Fuel Bros turns into the first big game on the blockchain for 2019.
Interestingly, the client game for PC / Mac is free, which allows all players to use a basic set of maps (not in the blockchain version) and special offers alternating each week. If you want to participate in the purchase and sale of blockchain cards for the formation of your deck , you need to transfer the airs through Metamask.
Add to this the Gods Unchained World Championship, the eSports tournament with a prize pool of $ 400,000 and the recent agreement on interaction with CryptoKitties, and realize that when you exit the game, we will expect a lot of interesting things.

Hash rush
While many games on the blockchain imply the use of cryptocats , others use a more detailed approach.
One of these games is Hash Rush, it is a three-dimensional strategy game “make and fight” in real time for PC clients. Players who use cryptocurrency receive a separate reward. Also Hash Rush offers access to the market items.
As the name suggests, Hash Rush really beats sectoral memes. For example, one part of the game is mining (and looting) of Crypto Crystals. They are used for ranking leaders. In addition, the game has its own token ERC20 , Rush Coin and a number of character skins ERC721.
What really distinguishes Hash Rush in terms of blockchain elements is the graphic quality, which, combined with ease of access, can provide greater popularity in 2019.

MLB Crypto Baseball 2019
Renamed MLB Champions the game is already out .
The first version of MLB Crypto Baseball, released at the end of September 2018 (instead of the planned launch in the spring of 2018), was also released during the declining cryptocurrency market.
But even under these conditions, a Ethereum-based dApp with more than 5,000 users demonstrated decent performance, and also provided the Lucid Sight developer with good data for working on the game of the 2019 season.
Created as a game for collectibles, MLB Crypto Baseball 2019 reflects how players choose a team, create a game card for it, select 21 players for it; 9 beginners, 6 spare and 6 warm-up pitchers.
You also predict what events will occur in the next game of the team, earn points based on the results of the team and the players of MLB Cryptos. These awards are used to earn special rewards, including rare MLB Cryptos players.
You can read about the proposed changes here , we also recommend to look at the game site .
Neon District
Originally conceived as a collectible card game, but later converted into an RPG, the Neon District is a blockchain game that tries to blend free turn-based combat gameplay using sidechains and possession of Ethereum-based items.
In a game that takes place in a despotic universe, there are players fighting against the government of Mainspring, creating groups of characters that become stronger over time.
An important element of this gameplay are the items – weapons, armor and other equipment that you collect and create. In addition, your characters become more powerful, changing their appearance. As can be seen, the aesthetics of the game is cyber / steampunk, which gives it a greater appeal.
Neon District uses the Loom Network to manage its gameplay, where items are owned and traded on the main Ethereum network. Developed in Unity, the Neon District will be released for PC / Mac and for mobile devices.
Learn the details on the Neon District website.
Reality clash
Reality Clash is a free AR / VR (location augmented / virtual reality) location-based shooter for mobile devices. Now the game is available worldwide for iOS and Android devices .
Elements based on location appear as players move through their local environment. They move in order to take control of various positions, for example, nodes with resources. To do this, players need to enter special combat portals that combine AR controls and VR visual effects, and fight bots and real opponents.
The key to this is the various types of weapons that can be bought and sold, and rare items that can be exchanged on the blockchain via the online gaming market.
Adding another metagame is a mission that you must complete. This will increase your level and get more resources, as well as take countermeasures that can slow down your enemies.
You can learn about the game on the Reality Clash website.
The sandbox
From several releases of this game The Sandbox (Sandbox) since 2012 there have been more than 40 million downloads. This is a great starting point for one of the most ambitious blockchain games planned for 2019.
The Sandbox is not an ordinary game. Along with Minecraft and Roblox, it is described as a custom content platform in which you can create objects and worlds and / or games with them.
This makes the latest version of The Sandbox a challenging product that consists of a 3D voxel editor, a merchandise market for trade, and a sandbox environment where you can play with your items.
For this reason, it is expected that the sandbox will not be released until the end of 2019, although more stable versions will be released during the year. Nevertheless, the potential of the project is great, so at the end of 2018, publisher Animoca Brands acquired the developer Sandbox Pixowl for $ 5 million.
An early version is Voxel Editor , the site is The Sandbox .
