On November 1st, the annual Halloween in the West is coming. This year's Halloween has some cool and scary games, DeFi Dapps, and NFTs. This article lists which projects are worth paying attention to during Halloween.
《The Bornless》
As a horror FPS action shooting game, "The Bornless" provides a variety of gameplay from cooperative combat to demons against disciples in a terrifying environment. Players can compete, resist demons, and collect precious materials; or they can team up, develop strategies, and manage resources to survive. Whether the player's game style is aggressive or cautious, "The Bornless" can satisfy it.
In addition to combat, players can join or create factions, collect resources to upgrade their safe houses, and customize their equipment for faction warfare. The game also inserts lore and storylines, gradually revealing the complexity of the Bornless universe through player discovery, adding depth and appeal to the gaming experience.
SpookySwap
SpookySwap is a DEX and automated market maker (AMM) on the Fantom Opera blockchain that aims to facilitate token trading and provide liquidity pools for users.
In addition to having a user-friendly interface, low transaction fees, and fast transaction speeds, SpookySwap also incorporates a festive atmosphere into its design.
Ghost
Another Halloween DeFi app is Aave, named after the Finnish word for "ghost." The platform enables users to lend and borrow various cryptocurrencies. Based on the Ethereum blockchain and now active on other chains as well, Aave stands out for its innovative features, such as flash loans, which allow for uncollateralized loans if repaid in a single transaction.
Considering that the AAVE token price has risen by more than 35% in the past 30 days, this ghostly DeFi platform seems to be as spooky as Halloween.
《Aavegotchi》
Aave Ecosystem NFT game "Aavegotchi" has grown from the original GameFi NFT project to a diversified ecosystem that includes DeFi elements, asset pledge, land ownership, and a series of blockchain game experiences. Users can now immerse themselves in different games, earn rewards, and utilize land assets on the platform.
Aavegotchi celebrated Halloween this year by hosting a carnival in their Discord community, marking their fourth time celebrating Halloween together. The event took place on October 28th and featured exciting activities including an IRL costume contest, an online talent contest, and the first 3D game test. In addition, attendees had the opportunity to receive GHST airdrops.
Mutant Ape Yacht Club
Mutant Ape Yacht Club (MAYC) is a blue-chip NFT collection and an OG at Halloween-themed Web3 parties. The celebration of variant versions of the BAYC characters makes it one of the most unique communities in the industry.
While they’ve had exclusives during Halloween before, it doesn’t appear that they’re doing so this year.
《Boss Fighters》
Boss fighter is a game that blends VR and PC gaming, inviting players to participate in intense boss battles. As a VR Boss, players can wage war with devastating weapons and upgrade their abilities through rewards. PC fighters, alone or with friends, can strategize to defeat VR Bosses and earn rewards to unlock new gear and equipment skins.
Their two Halloween games are scheduled in late October, the first from October 20 to 22, and the last from October 27 to 29. There are Halloween-exclusive missions, bosses, and weapon skins.
Cool Cats
For those looking for a family-friendly Halloween, Cool Cats is an ideal choice and provides a great source of inspiration (Note: Cool Cats positions itself as a family-oriented, community-centric project). This vibrant Ethereum-based NFT features a series of quirky hand-drawn cats. As part of the community, owners of these NFTs can participate in events, giveaways, and future airdrops.
This month, they participated in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade and revised their ecosystem strategy — launching three Web3 games in 2024. This Halloween, Cool Cats held a contest where the first 10 entrants would win a sold-out Spooky Box.
《Last Remains》
Last Remains is a stealth zombie battle royale game where the player's goal is to be one of three survivors to reach a rescue helicopter, guided by regular radio prompts. As they head to the rescue point, the player can choose to enter buildings to find necessary items and weapons.
The game features the ability to mint exquisite NFT skins, each of which offers specific in-game advantages and disadvantages, adding a “brain-burning” element to the game.
Enter a post-apocalyptic world filled with the threat of the undead, where you’ll need wits and agility to survive. Perfectly timed for Halloween, the Equipment Mint event takes place on October 26th.
《Axie Infinity》
Since its success in 2021, the "play to earn" game "Axie Infinity" has continued to develop. The launch of Axie Origins, the sidechain Ronin Network, etc. has made "Axie Infinity" a rich ecosystem. This Halloween, "Axie Infinity" organized the Spooktoberfest, where players can create content, costumes, and participate in the Lunacia challenge. Prizes range from Origin Axie NFT to AXS tokens.
《Pixelmon》
The NFT game "Pixelmon" uniquely combines the worlds of Pokémon (Note: Pokémon is the general term for all fictional creatures in the Pokémon world. The Pokémon series includes games, animations, comics, card games and related products) and Minecraft (Note: A sandbox game developed by Mojang Studios under Microsoft. In the game, players can interact with blocks in a 3D world. Features in the game include exploring the world, collecting resources, synthesizing items and survival adventures, etc.), creating a unique gaming experience. Players can capture, train and battle Pokémon in the block environment of Minecraft and explore the rich Pokémon ecosystem. The block offers a wide variety of species and skills, and provides opportunities for battles, trades and quests to become Pokémon.
A new mini arcade game, Kevin the Adventurer, recently launched on the Base blockchain adds an element of adventure, and as of mid-November, $10,000 worth of prizes are up for grabs.
