On December 13, Ethereum's Layer 3 gaming network Xai will launch 'Tiny Sentry Keys' to lower the entry threshold to its Sentry Key ecosystem. Sentry Keys are NFT-based licenses applicable to nodes operated by network supporters, and rewards can be earned through staking. The Xai Foundation claims that Sentry Key holders have shared rewards and airdrops worth approximately $340 million, including the XAI token airdrop earlier this year.
The Xai Foundation also stated that over '12 top games and ecosystem projects' are collaborating with it to provide rewards for Key holders. However, the related games and information have not been disclosed yet, with only a few games like Valeria: Land Before the War confirmed to participate in airdrop activities. Based on existing public information, this article will review 10 games that are already launched or will be launched on Xai.
Tollan
The Tollan universe is a rich fantasy world created by Foretold Studios. Tollan Survivors is a roguelite game that offers fast-paced action and cooperative combat, requiring strategic teamwork, enhancing narrative depth and gameplay excitement. Tollan Worlds continues the storyline of Tollan Survivors, drawing inspiration from popular games like Diablo and Hades, delivering a richer RPG experience. Core members of the Foretold Studios team have collaborated with major studios such as Bandai Namco, Jam City, and CAPCOM, contributing to well-known games like Resident Evil, Titan Quest, and Need for Speed. After three years of development, Foretold Studios has decided to move its main game from the Immutable platform to XAI.
Riftstorm
An action RPG light Roguelike game developed by Confiction Labs. Players will take on the role of Weavers, each with different abilities and equipment, allowing players to customize their primary and secondary weapons to match their playstyle. Riftstorm advocates teamwork, dividing players into three-person teams, where each player is extremely important to the team and overall gameplay style. Players battle waves of enemies in procedurally generated dungeons, facing a boss battle at the end of each level. Riftstorm envisions a collaborative economy as the future of gaming, allowing players to trade, sell, and publish their assets without pre-determined rarity.
Planet-X
A treasure hunting themed strategy mobile game that combines exploration, strategy, and real-time fast-paced hunting. In Planet-X, players will participate in a global treasure hunt, seeking treasure chests scattered across the map within a limited time and becoming the first to find the treasure. A core mechanism of the game is fighting against other players for valuable loot, making encounters tense and strategic. Planet-X offers players two types of hunting modes: non-ranked hunting is very suitable for beginners, with smaller prize pools for practicing and honing skills; ranked hunting has more intense competition and larger prize pools. Planet-X uses X-Droid as its main NFT, which is not only a character in the game but also a pass for players to gain a range of privileges.
Xtermination

All assets in Xtermination, including armored vehicles, are NFTs. Through the 'Destroy-to-Earn' mechanism, players can earn rewards and loot that can be traded, used, or sold on an exclusive NFT marketplace. The unique builder mode in the game allows players to have their own workshop to manufacture vehicles, ammunition, and arenas, directly contributing to the in-game economy. A demo of the game is expected to be released within six months.
MAYG
A turn-based third-person shooter multiplayer game called My Angry Yakuza Girlfriend, set in a stylized 1990s Tokyo. MAYG aims to attract a wide range of players, including competitive female gamers.

Players must manage ammunition, form temporary alliances, and choose the right moment to attack. The turn-based nature of the game also ensures a fair competitive environment for global players, unaffected by network latency. The game is produced by Peeking Duck, with a core development team including former heads of Sega's Secret Level Studios, Bandai Namco's casual games studio, and Pokerstars' former Asia director.
