If you haven't heard of "Captain Laserhawk: The G.A.M.E," you're not alone - the game hasn't been widely advertised by developer Ubisoft. This is a game based on the Netflix series "Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix," which was a spin-off of the game "Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon," which was a spin-off of "Far Cry 3."
It's a top-down shooter where you shoot other players using your mouse pointer - and Ubisoft mascot Rayman serves as the commentator. To play, you must own an NFT, essentially a crypto receipt, to access the game. Polygon's Stephen Tolito wrote about this: 10,000 such NFTs have been created for the game, and you must purchase one to play. This must be done with Ethereum and costs roughly 25 dollars - which gives you an NFT of an "ID card" that grants access to the game after connecting your crypto wallet. It's this ID card that is unique and supposedly changes as you play, becoming more and more unique - and potentially valuable for users.
However, as Tolito writes, the actual game takes a backseat to the monetary aspects. He describes it as "the most basic top-down shooter ever." Ubisoft is no stranger to so-called "web3" games, and previously offered numbered variants of guns and clothing in "Ghost Recon Breakpoint" for a brief period - before the entire game was shelved a few months later.
