Blockchain-Based Galaxy Game Offers Rare, Collectable Planets That Can Be Sold for Crypto

A team of developers say they are in the final stages of beta testing for a "Revolutionary" online game which allows players to explore an entire galaxy based on blockchain.

0xUniverse is the first Ethereum-powered title from 0xGames - and together, its professionals have decades of experience in game development.

In this 3D rendered game, players are 22nd-century space explorers setting out in private enterprise to colonize the planets of a colorful, blockchain-powered galaxy.

The more planets conquered, the more resources and vessel-building knowledge explorers collect.

Spacecrafts with stronger engines cover larger areas, and using enhanced radar systems increases their chances of finding rare planets.

Launching a spaceship with a weaker build or in an area where many planets have already been conquered will decrease its chances of landing somewhere new - and ships that don't land can be lost forever.

Each planet offers stories of love and betrayal, bloody wars, civilizations and catastrophe.

The 0xUniverse galaxy has a finite number of planets to be discovered, and because each one is a digital collectible, those richer in resources and population are more valuable.

Planets fall into one of four categories: common, rare, epic or legendary.

The 0xGames team says, "Players can count on frequent returns on the amount they originally pay," adding that extremely desirable planets could fetch as much as $4,000.
