7 Games to Play That Celebrate All Things DOGE
Introduction
Dogecoin is back in the spotlight, surging to a three-year high price recently amid a broader crypto market spike, not to mention continued promotion from Elon Musk, who will co-lead a government agency called the Department of Government Efficiency – yes, the DOGE. The original meme coin is all about vibes, and if you’re looking to bring more of that goofy fun into your life, then you can find Dogecoin and the meme dog’s likeness in several games.
Games
OpenSeason
Fortnite-like battle royale shooter OpenSeason added a custom Doge-themed biome in April. In a blog post, the game’s developers said that it is a “realm where every nook and cranny barks the tale of Kabosu, the Doge, our beloved Shiba Inu.”
The Ethereum-based shooter built the digital environment in collaboration with NFT project Own the Doge, the crypto project that owns the official Doge IP. OpenSeason is available via the Epic Games Store.
Raini: The Lords of Light
Hearthstone-style trading card game Raini: The Lords of Light is filled with crypto-themed cards. The game is dominated by crypto references, including a card of disgraced FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried, as well as pseudonymous Bitcoin creator Satoshi Nakamoto.
So of course, it makes sense that there’s a Dogecoin reference in-game. The game teased an “Unleash the Doges” card with Amazon founder Jeff Bezos in 2022, and then eventually launched a “Chad Doge” card as an Avalanche NFT.
Super Doginals
Retro-style brawler Super Doginals is both Doge-themed and inscribed on the Dogecoin blockchain via the Doginals protocol—that was a lot of Doge in one sentence, much wow.
Akin to classic fighting games like Streets of Rage and Fatal Fury, you control one of three characters—two of which are anthropomorphic Shiba Inu dogs—in this side-scrolling brawler as you pummel foes based on other meme-friendly creatures like apes, cats, and frogs.
Decentraland
Ethereum-based metaverse game Decentraland embraced AI last year to enable players to chat with non-playable characters, or NPCs. The added characters included Simone the Robot, 23-year-old streamer Aisa, and a buffed-up Doge—who is claimed to be a lighthearted character, despite his imposing stature.
The game is free to play, though the Decentraland world is split up into 90,000 units of NFTs, known as LAND—so if you want to publicly build, you’ll have to splash the cash. But you don’t have to spend anything to wander around and chat with Doge.
Who’s the Top Dog?
Inscribed on the Bitcoin blockchain via the Ordinals protocol, Who’s the Top Dog? is a Pac-Man clone with crypto elements. Pac-Man is replaced by the mascot of the Bitcoin Runes token DOG, while the ghosts are replaced by the pups associated with popular meme coins Shiba Inu, Dogwifhat, Floki, and of course, DOGE.
It’s also playable as a built-in game on the BitBoy One handheld game console, essentially a Bitcoin riff on Nintendo’s Game Boy, which is starting to ship to early buyers.
Katana Inu
NFT-based battle royale game Katana Inu has a sword-wielding, Dogecoin-themed playable character in-game, even using it as the game’s mascot. But it’s not just Doge: The game has tons of characters dedicated to crypto projects like meme coin NPC, an apparent Pepe tribute, and even one dedicated to Solana – yes, the cryptocurrency and network.
PixelTap
Telegram tap-to-earn game PixelTap added “The Giga Chad Doge” back in June – yep, you read that right. The story here is that the cute Doge we all know and love was struck by a “bolt of energy” that bulked the doggy up into a hyper-muscular version of himself.
This character can be used in Pixelverse Telegram game to fight enemies and progress within the game.
Conclusion
The games listed above celebrate the spirit of Dogecoin and the meme dog’s playful and lovable personality. From battle royale games to trading card games and metaverse experiences, there’s something for every type of gamer.
