Top 10 Best Play-to-Earn Web3 Games: December 2023

1. Shrapnel

With Shrapnel and their play test coming later in December, we have one of the hottest games in Web3 right now. This first person shooter has players battle to claim resources, but the journey doesn’t end with claiming. Because players will also need to survive to extract the resources from the game. The longer you stay, the more challenging things become and the higher the reward. Shrapnel as a native token SHRAP, and its Operator NFTs give gamers early access.

2. Splinterlands

This December marks a big month for one of the oldest Web3 gaming projects on the market, the trading card game Splinterlands. The team just launched the first phase of Land gameplay, and has players stake DEC tokens to harvest resources. In addition, on 5 December the Rebellion set will release, and will go into general sale. That means more cards and new mechanics to outwit your opponents. In November the price of the SPS governance token increased 58% to $0.02, while the game currency DEC increased 7% in value to $0.000978.

ChronoForge is an action role-playing game in which players can complete quests, build and shape the game world or go together on raids. In the game world players can have mounts, and this December a lot more is coming to ChronoForge. This starts on 8 December with the NFT mint sale of Airships, allowing the owners to request air attacks, revives or supplies.
