As we dive into the diverse realm of Web3 gaming, June 2023 has brought forth exciting developments that have web3 gaming enthusiasts worldwide hooked. Here's a roundup of the top 5 Web3 games of this month that got us off The Finals closed beta and Diablo IV to play, which is an achievement in its own.

Champions Ascension

Taking us back to the Roman empire's gladiator days, Champions Ascension presents an intense high-stakes fighting adventure in the Colosseum Eternal arena. The game offers a rich lore around its characters and their world. This month, developer Plai Labs launched their first raid boss event called Old Sally, a gripping PvE adventure.

Groups of 5 players dove into a sewer-themed arena to combat the deadly crocodile boss, Sally, offering a tantalizing mix of cooperation and fierce combat. Champions Ascension continues to rise, offering immersive and adrenaline-filled gameplay. We participated in the event, and had a blast ourselves slaying the crocodile and keeping the sewers safe.

Sparkadia

In the realm of esports, Sparkadia offers top-down gameplay where players control a hero in objective-based maps, akin to popular MOBAs. The game aims to be faster and more action-oriented than traditional MOBAs. This month, the Sparkball Ascension Invitational took the spotlight with a one-day tournament boasting a massive prize pool of $32,000.

The event saw participation from ten premier esports organizations, including the likes of Evil Geniuses, Cloud9, Team Liquid, and FNATIC, offering a riveting showdown of skill and strategy. FNATIC took home the crown and the bigger portion of the prize pool after an impressive display and some nail-biters that truly showed the potential of Sparkadia as a viable esports title in web3 and even as a normal game.

We had a blast costreaming the tournament and the ongoing GAM3 Quest gives you the opportunity to win one of 200 Ascended Kana NFT skins for simply redeeming "Polkasparker" on Sparkadia's website to download Sparkball through Steam.

Gods Unchained

One of the pioneers to use of blockchain technology in games, Gods Unchained offers players complete ownership of their digital cards, reshaping the landscape for card game players. This month, in a bid to attract mainstream TCG gamers, Gods Unchained announced a strategic rebrand and launch on the Epic Games Store.

This move puts the game in line with popular TCGs such as Hearthstone and Magic: The Gathering, opening it to a wider audience. The launch aims to breakdown onboarding barriers, making the transition from traditional TCGs to blockchain games smoother.

At the time of writing this, and since their launch on Epic Games, Gods Unchained has been trending on the launcher for 4 days straight. An impressive feat to say the least, with the card game put amongst the likes of Dead Island 2 and Fortnite.

SynergyLand

An exciting venture into the world of fantasy multiplayer ARPGs, SynergyLand is set in a world divided into four elemental ecosystems. The game rewards players for their time and effort through blockchain technology and NFT ownership.

SynergyLand kicked off its first Public Playtest in June, inviting the game's community and newcomers alike to complete in-game quests. This innovative event gave players a taste of the game while simultaneously encouraging competitive gameplay.

Pirate Nation

Pirate Nation takes players on a thrilling pirate-themed RPG journey on the high seas. This month, the developers launched a much-awaited Island feature.

Pirate Nation has generously provided every player with a Starter Island. These islands, with their predetermined shape and size, invite you to harness your creativity to optimize the available space. The crafting system enhances the immersive experience, allowing players to create their own pirate paradise. The island feature elevates Pirate Nation by adding a strategic planning aspect, making it more than just a game of treasure hunting.

In conclusion, June 2023 saw numerous exciting developments in the web3 gaming sphere, with immersive experiences, innovative gameplay, and strategic advancements taking the forefront. Whether you're a gladiator, a high-octane esports hero, a TCG strategist, a fantasy adventurer, or a swashbuckling pirate, there's a game for everyone in the ever-evolving world of web3 games.
