Newzoo predicts global game revenue will hit $200 billion in 2024. Therefore, GameFi's growth potential is still enormous. Discovering investment possibilities in the GameFi is critical right now.

In this article, we would like to introduce Gala Games known as an NFT-focused gaming startup. We'll be covering the following topics:

  • What is Gala Games? How does Gala Games work?
  • GALA Tokenomics and How/Where to earn and store GALA tokens?
  • Roadmap & Updates.
  • Team members, Investors, and Strategic Partners.

Let's explore the potential of Gala!

What is Gala Games?

Gala is a gaming and NFT platform that attempts to create a blockchain gaming ecosystem that runs on Ethereum and BSC (Binance Smart Chain). Gala was launched in 2019 and is powered by the world's largest independent node network, which was created to empower the gaming community.

How does Gala Games work?

The highlight of  Gala is its vision to make blockchain games you'll actually want to play. Currently, most of the GameFi are just in basic form, like click-to-earn. There are very few types of adventure and role-playing games on the GameFi market. Gala wants to bring the exciting experiences of traditional games to players over the years.

Multiple Funny Games

I was particularly impressed with the list of 8 games that Gala recommended during my research for an article about Gala, including The Walking Dead: Empires, Mirandus, Legacy, Last Expedition, Echoes of Empire, Spider Tanks, Town Star, and Fortified. This includes RPG (Role-playing game) games, space exploration games, tower defense games, and more.

All of the games in Gala feature excellent graphics. It allows players to unwind and enjoy the game. Gala employs simple game mechanics that all participants may enjoy.

Owned by Players

In collection games, ownership is crucial. The entire value proposition collapses if you don't own your collection. This is why digital media has struggled in this area, while games with physical assets, such as card games, have survived.

Players have entire ownership of NFTs, which they can freely buy, sell, and use in the game. Players are given the opportunity to genuinely own anything they win in the games. It is yours if you earn or win a magical sword on the Gala Game Platform.

Players not only control their in-game products, but they also have a say in how the Gala Games roadmap grows. Players will be enlisted to help choose what games should be added to the platform.

Powered by the People

If there were two games that were out there, and they’re both fairly similar, and one of them lets you own content, and one of them doesn’t, which one would a player play. Surely you will choose option 1, which is also the orientation of Gala.

Players can become game nodes by buying at the current price of 152,274,398 GALA for one slot. Everything within the Gala Games Network depends on the player-owned Node Ecosystem. 

Game Node of Gala opens up opportunities for everyone to receive rewards like GALA, limited edition NFT's and the chance to help the Gala Games ecosystem grow.

Similar to staking methods, this is also a way to create more demand for GALA tokens.

Is Gala Games (GALA) a good investment?

Gala Games are quite addictive. The graphics are attractive, with bright colors, and the game isn't too heavy to cause your low-end mobile device or PC to overheat. Thus, Gala games are really very interesting games and bring real entertainment value to players.

Let's take a look at the numbers that Gala has achieved. That is really a great effort of the Gala team. I believe Gala will go even further in the future. 

GameFi may continue to grow in the next years, but I don't know how blockchain gaming will grow in the short term.

However, when it comes to jumping on the latest trend or trendy cryptocurrency, caution is always advised, especially with GALA that has already risen by almost 30,000% in 2021. You have to consider how much more it can really grow, as well as how much the price has been inflated by speculation.
