US-based games outfit The MIX Games has announced its first web3 game deploying to Xai will be Hit-em Up Highrise.
Ex Populus’ gaming-centric L3 Xai unveiled a collaboration with media/games company Media Indie Exchange in March 2024, with the intention of adding hundreds more indie games to its ecosystem.
As part of the deal, the first of The MIX’s games to deploy to the Arbitrum-based Xai chain will be retro roguelite brawler Hit-em Up Highrise.
It allows players to personalize their characters with various fashion items, including hats, chains, shoes, and more. This customization system enables users to create distinct in-game styles. Additionally, drip items will offer various buffs like attack damage, speed, and HP, providing upgrade paths for characters. Enemy players within the game will be randomized and unique, keeping gameplay unpredictable.
“This is a perfect example of how indie games can thrive with the support of blockchain technology. With customizable cosmetics and unique, randomized enemies, Hit-em Up Highrise offers a fresh and engaging experience for players. This launch marks the beginning of a new era for indie gaming on Xai,” said The MIX Games CEO Justin Woodward.
No date has yet been revealed for the official launch of Hit-em Up Highrise.
