NEXUS for Windows

Free-to-play shooter MOBA

NEXUS is a free-to-play action game that pits teams of players against each other, pushing towers and ultimately destroying the enemy base. However, unlike other MOBA games where you choose characters with predetermined skills, this shooter experience lets you craft custom weapons and equipment, and unlock skins—everything to realize your vision of the perfect warrior.

With a visual quality comparable to SMITE, but with more possible combinations, NEXUS feels like Star Wars Battlefront II set on a DOTA 2 map. Another thing that separates this game is that it includes cryptocurrency and NFTs, mostly in its in-game microtransactions.

Conquer the enemy nexus

At its core, NEXUS is also a multiplayer online battle arena where teams of five players each push lanes and guide creeps to destroy towers and enemy structures. However, this game lets you customize your characters, ensuring no two combatants are alike. Customize your character, from cosmetics to its abilities. Unlock the skills you need, buy the weapons you want, and choose your costume.

Unlike most MOBA games that are played from a top-down perspective, you play this in the third-person, adding immersion to the game. Additionally, this game is built using the Unreal Engine 5, which makes the set designs and character models appear more vivid and lifelike. Even the lobby area is in full, interactive 3D. Like most games in the genre, too, navigation is aided with an accessible minimap.

As mentioned, it also involves NFT and crypto. In-game assets can be obtained, traded, and sold in a dedicated marketplace. However, it’s worth noting that most of the in-game purchases are for cosmetic and collection purposes only, as it retains its zero pay-to-win status. The only challenge in this game is that its matchmaking still needs work, leaving beginners to risk facing much more experienced players.

A next-gen MOBA game

NEXUS combines crypto and gamification as the internet moves to Web 3.0, or the use of crypto for financial transactions. This creates a gaming experience that players can enjoy on varying levels. You can play it casually or competitively, or just get into the game to collect and trade NFT items. With its visuals by Unreal Engine 5, this is a game that deserves your attention, crypto trader or not.
