1. Graphics
Compared to other spreadsheet like games, the graphics of 0xUniverse is absolutely stunning, full 3D, brilliant effects on par with Crypto Space Commanders. You can rotate 360 degrees with full blown animations. Anyone who has touched CSS and Javascript knows how difficult that is to achieve without some serious dedication. Plus, the dog that welcomes you is hella cute :D
2. Gameplay + Principles
Ok. 0xUniverse isn't perfect in this regard, but is sure does a lot better than 90% of "idle games" and "collectibles". The idea in crypto space is new and innovative, reminds me of a game I played years ago called Galaxy on Fire - Alliances. I still think it needs a lot more gameplay though, but its off to a great start and I can see huge potential for growth in the open world gameplay. Apparently there is also a lore, which is exciting and certainly adds depth to gameplay.
3. Issues
As with every dApp, theres a host of issues and 0xGames isn't spared. Mainly, I still think the initial cost to start is high for a casual gamer, and that impedes the spread of the game. A lot of people won't spend 30 bucks just to try out the tutorial.
Another issue I see is that sometimes I have to refresh the page for my assets in game to update. It's certainly an annoyance, as games built on blockchain usually have to wait 2 - 3 minutes between transactions. Thus, maybe the developers could try and centralize some parts of gameplay, while keeping the core areas decentralized on the chain.
4. Conclusion
To conclude, this is one of the best blockchain games I've seen. (As shown, I've purchased a rare planet). Now if the developers follow up on their promises, I hope I can turn a profit too.
