Advantages of NFT Games

Disadvantages of NFT Games

• Expensive Items
  To get profits in NFT games, players must first spend capital to buy items in the game.

• Not familiar
  NFT games are not widely known by gamers, so those who play the game are players who want to make a profit in the game.

  For players who want to get profits in NFT games, they must pay attention to the game first, because when talking about NFT, they are certainly very close to losses if they are not careful, such as scams and others.

5.) Conclusion

Blockchain systems can be said to have progressed, one of which is the blockchain system has entered the game industry such as NFT games, although there are advantages and disadvantages in NFT games, in my opinion, NFT games need to be improved. many people play NFT Games just to get rewards, if these shortcomings can be covered then NFT Games will attract other gamers and Blockchain will be more famous especially in the Game industry.

In the art world, NFT's assets are also very well known, the involvement of well-known artists and artists has proven it, many artists auction their art for profit, although some of these profits are also donated. This has resulted in NFT becoming more popular in the wider community.

NFT games such as CryptoBlade are games that users play to get rewards that can later be traded for profit, as for playing this game we must first connect to each other's wallets such as metamask,. and users must also have BNB coins in order to make transactions before the game is played. later BNB coins can be swapped to SKILL coins in the game.
