Before I begin writing about this post I have to admit I'm a bit ashamed I haven't stumbled upon it earlier, not that I feel like I've missed out on a lot, the game is after all still in alpha, but damn does it seem like a good one in the making. The special thing about this game is that it's not your typical crypto game you might be thinking about, in terms of drugwars, dcity and other browser based games such as Skyweaver, but it also overrides the quality of Gods Unchained in terms of graphics.
It uses the Unreal 4 engine which already in the alpha makes it look absolutely gorgeous, here are some screenshots from the game at insane settings. Keep in mind these images are a bit small in size as I used Steam to capture them cause GeForce wasn't able to as it doesn't recognize the game yet I assume.
Only thing missing in the screenshots is the first person shooter part, for that you can check the video I'll include below of gameplay I recorded at 1440p60fps of FPS gameplay and later on miserably failing at mining and getting rekt by AI ships (I've gotten better since then, I'll prove that in another video :P)
The game uses the Ethereum blockchain (I know) but I think the timing could work well for ETH 2.0 and this game to hit beta and possibly full release. The team is relatively small and the game has been in production since 2018 but already very impressive for a .2.5 alpha release.
They recently had a ship sale and that's how I stumbled upon it as I saw a few ships on opensea.io and at first I thought it was ships for another Space MMO I've been trying out lately (might post about it at some point as well) but I was positively surprised that it was about another game or else who knows when I would've found out about it and I'm glad I did now.
Upon reading about the game a bit you'll find out that they want to turn it into a full pledged MMORPG in the next 5 years but they also want to focus on each part of the game modes and releases so in case things don't pull through for their full plans the games can still standalone and not disappoint anyone. Right now you can play some FPS PvE, meaning you'll just fight against other bots and earn some DFT's (their ingame token - just a central point system for now I believe but will definitely turn into a real token at some point) and you can also go out into space and mine resources but it's really not easy as you'll quickly get 2-3 enemy ships on you.
What more is there to say about this game that the gameplay footage won't, I'll be talking a bit through it as well if you want to check it out and if you're interested in even more info I'll leave some links at the bottom of the post!
You can also create corporations - sort of like guilds, so maybe it's something we could consider creating a community out of and growing the Team OCD gaming community onto more blockchain games! What do you guys think of that after checking out the game? Let me know!
PS! Gods Unchained recently announced the release of 1v1 so could be a good time to revive the GU community on OCD with some tournaments! :)
