5. Arsenal

Arsenal is a PvP first-person shooter built on Binance Smart Chain and Polygon, offering multiplayer modes such as deathmatch, capture the flag, and elimination. Players can face others in real-time matches or practice against bots, while clans and individual players can adjust maps, modes, and player limits through customizable server settings. The game also supports cross-platform play on desktop and mobile. Its play-to-earn model lets players connect wallets, manage NFTs, and redeem every 150 game points for 1 WELT token. Players can earn rewards through casual matches, tournaments with prize pools, and official Fabwel tournaments with level-based matchmaking, with clan-based events adding another competitive layer.

4. Boss Fighters

Boss Fighters is a multiplayer action shooter being built on Open Loot, where players either take control of a massive Boss or join a team of Fighters. The game mixes arcade-style shooting with physics-based mechanics, with Bosses using brute force and environmental interaction, while Fighters rely on heavy weapons, gadgets, explosives, teamwork, and objectives to win. It also includes a character stats system that allows players to customize attributes with perks and gear. The in-game economy is built around the $BF Token, which is earned through gameplay rather than private sales or team allocations. Players can earn tokens by equipping BADGES during matches, while higher-tier gear and NFTs can improve earnings. Tokens are then used for crafting and upgrading NFT items, entering Arena events, and recharging token-generating assets, with digital asset trading supported through the Open Loot marketplace.

3. DRKVRS

DRKVRS is a free-to-play, third-person multiplayer action RPG shooter set in a dark dystopian world inside Leviathan, where players awaken in the city of Babalon and explore interconnected biomes filled with threats and secrets. It combines PvE and PvP gameplay through story-driven campaigns, exploration, dungeons, and raids for groups of 4 to 9 players. The game also leans into social and faction-based systems, with hubs like the Hangover Bar and player alignment options such as Hedonists, Barbarians, Technognostics, or Nomads. Its economy centers on the SINAI token and the in-game currency Mollar, with rewards tied to game tests, ecosystem contributions, and community events. NFTs and resources like Blood of God are part of crafting and progression, while AI Agents called Co-Playable Characters can farm resources autonomously and generate additional value for players.

2. Off The Grid

Off The Grid is a sci-fi third-person shooter on Avalanche that combines battle royale, extraction shooter, and survival elements. Players can choose between Extraction Royale, where twenty squads of three land on Teardrop Island to collect loot, complete side missions, extract hexes, and outlast rivals, or a standard battle royale mode with 150 players fighting to be the last one standing. The game also offers more than 30 limb upgrades and over 300 weapon combinations, with weapons customizable through parts such as scopes, muzzles, tactical attachments, underbarrels, and magazines. Its main currency is called Gun, which players can accumulate through gameplay and special loot extractions. The game’s earning system is tied mainly to tournaments, including Clash for Cash, where players compete in Extraction Royale for cash prizes based on placement, kills, assists, and Hex Extractions, though that event is currently paused. Early Access is open to everyone, with no purchases or NFTs required.

1. Decimated

Decimated takes the top spot as an open-world survival game on Solana, set in a post-apocalyptic cyberpunk world where rival factions compete for control. This third-person online multiplayer survival RPG has players scavenging for essentials such as medkits, food, drinks, and bandages while taking on missions like delivery, scouting, looting, and racing to earn in-game credits. Those credits can be used to buy or store vehicles, weapons, and gear, though anything kept outside secure vaults and ATMs can be lost on death, raising the stakes in every raid. The game also features squad systems, voice chat, faction-based objectives, and a mix of PvE and PvP encounters. In its economy, all players can earn standard in-game credits through missions, bounty hunts, and event tournaments. For optional web3 users, an external NFT collection unlocks leaderboard-based $DIO rewards, exclusive staking pools, and special experiences, though those NFTs are separate from in-game items.
