The Most Popular P2E Games in Spring 2024
In recent years, new blockchain games offering token-earning opportunities have been launching almost daily. However, intense competition has led many to have short life spans, with some disappearing from the market in just a few months.
Let’s explore the Play-to-Earn (P2E) games that have captured user interest.

Magic Craft
Magic Craft is a multiplayer fantasy PvP (Player-versus-Player) game developed on the Binance Smart Chain, designed for smartphones.
It allows gamers to demonstrate their strategic skills and earn rewards based on their performance.
The game includes various modes, such as duo battles and a massive royal battle featuring many characters, where the last player standing wins.
Players can join different guilds or clans and participate in online communities to speed up their character development. Magic Craft also offers team voice chats, facilitating strategic coordination during battles.
Character upgrades involve:
- Completing daily quests;
- Exploring new locations;
- Engaging in weekly battles for castle control;
- Building social connections by attending in-game events.
Participants are required to connect their cryptocurrency wallet to the platform.
MCRT tokens can be used to purchase in-game equipment and power-ups, as well as to pay for entry into ranked battles organized by the Magic Craft team. These tokens are traded on exchanges like Gate.io, ByBit, BitMart, Bitget, and PancakeSwap. They can also be acquired by selling valuable loot or highly upgraded characters on Magic Craft’s in-game NFT marketplace.
Furthermore, MCRT tokens can be spent at partner internet retailers such as Amazon, eBay, and Walmart, or locked into the protocol to gain additional gaming bonuses.
Galaxy Fight Club
GFC is a cross-platform player-versus-player game developed on the Ethereum blockchain, available for both PCs and smartphones. In this dynamic environment, players can battle each other to earn ETH and the in-game token GCOIN.
The game’s development team has heavily integrated NFTs into its core gameplay. Players who acquire specific sets of non-fungible tokens—such as fragments of silver keys, valuable weapons, and armor—gain the ability to engage in battles and earn through Play-to-Earn (P2E) mechanics. These digital assets are available for purchase on platforms like OpenSea, BLUR, and LooksRare.
For those without pre-purchased NFTs, entering ranked 3v3 battles is possible but requires significant time to gather the necessary items by defeating other players or completing quests. This method also serves as a way to earn, as fragments of silver keys are priced at around $50 on NFT marketplaces.
Furthermore, combatants must own an NFT avatar to participate in fights. These avatars could range from a monkey from the Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) to a bull from Bulls on the Block, or even a CryptoPunk.
Upon wallet connection, users are prompted to import an avatar from any supported NFT collection. This avatar represents them on the battlefield. Victories in weekly battles can earn players between 0.5 to 2 ETH (or its equivalent in GCOIN), with the prize divided among the three members of the winning team. Additionally, a portion of GCOIN is allocated as prizes for participants in individual PvP duels.
The GCOIN token is traded on exchanges like Gate.io, Uniswap, and PancakeSwap. Players can also earn GCOIN by renting out their enhanced characters through third-party platforms such as Renft.io, or by selling key fragments obtained in battles.
Typically, GCOIN is used to upgrade the weapons and armor of characters, enhancing their combat capabilities.
Arena of Faith
Arena of Faith is a multiplayer cross-platform Play-to-Earn (P2E) game launched in the fall of 2023 by Vortex Labs, supported by FaithDAO—a community-driven organization that endorses various esports projects. This game runs on the Binance Smart Chain and is available in both desktop and mobile versions.
Currently in beta testing, Arena of Faith has already received enthusiastic reviews from its registered participants.
One notable feature of this game is its Free-to-Play (F2P) version, which allows players to access all levels and features without any financial investment. However, this version does not grant ownership rights over in-game assets. Despite this, the low entry barrier makes Arena of Faith accessible to users at all income levels.
AoF boasts a vast online battle arena (Battle Ring) that merges PvP combat with strategic gameplay. Players can select from a variety of characters, each with unique attributes and skill levels. The goal for each team is to build a robust squad to destroy the main crystal at the heart of the opponent's base. The game does not support solo play.
Looking ahead, Arena of Faith plans to introduce its own token, AOF, intended for project governance, voting, and other activities related to the ownership of gaming assets. Currently, players can earn special NFT avatars named Pioneer by winning ranked battles and tournaments. These ERC-721 standard tokens are tradable on platforms such as OpenSea, where they are currently priced at about 0.1 ETH each.
Additionally, players receive "faith points" for their individual rankings and as rewards through a referral program. It is expected that once the AOF token is launched, these points will be convertible into this new digital asset.
