Blockchain games with NFTs are now very popular and, of course, have a lot of advantages, allowing users to earn money while playing. But they have one drawback, which concerns most novice users — most games require initial investments to start playing.
We have selected the top 10 NFT games with free registration and no initial investments. In these games, you do not need to buy anything — you can start completing tasks right away, interact with other players, and receive financial rewards. Let’s get started!
Gods Unchained
-
- Status: released
-
- Genre: collectible card game
-
- Entry threshold: medium
-
- Platforms: Windows, Mac
Gods Unchained is a typical collectible card game that borrows a lot of mechanics from Magic: The Gathering, as well as its popular clones like Hearthstone. The player receives free starting decks and fights with other players. They receive new cards and sets for victories — sets are also given for reaching the next level. The level increases when players gain enough experience points, which are awarded for participating in battles.
All cards in this metaverse game are NFT tokens. They can be bought and sold in the in-game store as well as on popular marketplaces. By selling a card or set, players receive GODS, the platform’s native token. It can be withdrawn to an external wallet or exchanged for fiat and transferred to a bank card.
CryptoKitties
-
- Status: released
-
- Genre: pet breeding simulator
-
- Entry threshold: low
-
- Platforms: Windows, Android, iOS
CryptoKitties is the first metaverse game with a Play-to-Earn principle. At the time of creation, it had no analogs — still, now, it already has several dozen clones. The main gaming mechanism is the following: players breed digital cats, which can be received for free on the in-game marketplace. Cats differ in generation and innate characteristics, which are determined by the innate abilities of parents and randomness.
An example of an ability is accelerated recharge, the time that must elapse between breedings. The more abilities a cat has and the higher its generation, the more expensive offspring it is able to give. Cats can be sold within the game and on external marketplaces for Ethereum.
Plant vs Undead
-
- Status: released
-
- Genre: farming simulator, tower defense
-
- Entry threshold: low
-
- Platforms: Android
Plant vs Undead is a modernized analog of the legendary Plants vs Zombies. The player’s task is to manage the farm — they buy seeds, water them, and grow plants (the first batch is free). For growing plants and collecting seeds from them, players receive an LE resource. You can buy new plants for LE, as well as exchange them for PVU, the platform’s native token, which is available for withdrawal to an external wallet. PVU, in turn, is a full-fledged cryptocurrency that can be bought, sold, and exchanged on crypto exchanges.
The trick is that the dead attack the player’s farm with a certain frequency. All plants are fighting ones — they can attack the dead, preventing them from plundering the farm. The arrangement of plants on the playing field and their synergy play a decisive role in protecting the farm. In this mode, Plant vs Undead becomes a classic tower defense game. Recently, a PvP mode was introduced, where players can collect their army of the dead and attack the farm of other players.

The peculiarity of Sorare is that all the cards are dedicated to real football players, and each of them is an NFT token.
