Strategic BlockchainCard Game Development
A complex 2D NFT tactical card game that seamlessly integrates with cryptocurrency wallets, offering players a competitive dueling experience across web, mobile, and desktop platforms, developed through a comprehensive full-stack software development process.
Project Summary
We engineered a sophisticated cross-platform tactical card game that merges competitive gameplay with blockchain technology.
This project involved creating a strategic dueling experience where players build decks, collect NFT cards, and connect their crypto wallets for a truly modern gaming experience. The application supports multiple game modes, social features, and a complex rule system, all managed by a robust real-time game server to ensure fair and consistent gameplay for a global audience.
Business Challenges
The client faced significant complexity in developing a fair and synchronized multiplayer game with intricate card abilities and blockchain integration.
They required a partner with deep expertise in real-time game server architecture and the ability to translate complex game rules into a reliable and scalable game engine. The challenge was to create a seamless experience where all game logic is processed server-side to prevent cheating, while simultaneously ensuring smooth performance despite the heavy data load from blockchain interactions.

Technologies We Used
We architected a seamless multi-platform experience using Cocos Creator for the game client, Colyseus for real-time multiplayer server logic, Node.js for backend services and blockchain integration, and React.js for the admin dashboard—all developed in TypeScript for robust, maintainable code across web, mobile, and desktop.
Game Highlight Features
Players can carefully select and combine cards and heroes to create powerful decks tailored to their play style. This feature allows for deep strategic planning and customization, enhancing gameplay depth and encouraging players to experiment with different combinations to discover winning strategies against various opponents.
The game offers diverse playing experiences through casual, event, and ranked modes to cater to different player preferences. This variety ensures both competitive and casual players remain engaged, with ranked mode providing a competitive ladder system while casual mode offers stress-free practice and experimentation.
A daily quest system provides players with consistent objectives and incentives to return to the game regularly. This feature enhances player retention by offering valuable rewards for completing specific challenges, creating a compelling reason for daily engagement and progression within the game ecosystem.
Players can add friends, chat, and challenge each other to duels outside of ranked play. This social functionality builds community and allows for friendly competition, enhancing player retention through personal connections and creating a more engaging multiplayer experience beyond random matchmaking.
A comprehensive administrative interface provides detailed statistics and game analytics for monitoring player behavior and game performance. This tool offers valuable insights into gameplay trends, player engagement metrics, and system performance, enabling data-driven decisions for game balancing and future development.
Our Solutions
We addressed the project's technical challenges by adopting an Agile/Scrum methodology, which enabled us to iteratively develop a sophisticated server-centric architecture.
