Somnia Network is designed for high-throughput gaming, boasting over 1 million transactions per second and sub-second finality. That technical foundation is already attracting a mix of indie and mid-core developers building games that use on-chain features without compromising gameplay.
Top 5 Somnia Games to Watch
Here are the top 5 Somnia games worth paying attention to as the ecosystem takes shape.
1. Maelstrom: Naval Battle Royale With Real Loot
Maelstrom is one of the top 5 Somnia games to look out for, developed by Gunpowder Games and now relaunched by Forthright Entertainment with support from Uprising Labs, is a naval combat game where players battle each other and sea monsters across a stormy ocean. The game features faction-based ship selection, boarding mechanics, and destructible environments.
Somnia is being used to bring real digital ownership into the mix—cosmetics, ship upgrades, and event rewards will live on-chain, while keeping the core gameplay intact across Steam and Epic versions with crossplay support.
2. Netherak Demons: ARPG Focused on Control and Survival
This is a dark fantasy action RPG where you play as a demon instead of a hero. Combat is fast and punishing, with class-based progression that rewards timing and strategy over button-mashing.
Built by Netherak Entertainment, the game is launching first on PC and will eventually come to consoles. Blockchain features like item ownership and marketplace support are integrated through Somnia, but the game works as a full standalone ARPG even without them.
3. Dark Table CCG: Free-for-All Multiplayer Card Game
Instead of the usual one-on-one format, Dark Table pits four players against each other in matches built around shifting alliances, betrayals, and strategic planning. You start by choosing a Leader—each with a unique Enrage ability—and build your deck with access to the full card library.
There are no loot boxes or randomized packs. Cards are bought directly or earned through gameplay. Somnia supports asset ownership and cross-platform syncing between Steam, Epic, and Web3 wallets, but those systems stay optional for players who prefer a more traditional CCG experience.
4. Masks of the Void: Roguelite Action With Telekinetic Combat
Developed by RolldBox Games and published by Forthright Entertainment, Masks of the Void uses fast-paced, telekinetic combat inside a branching roguelite structure. Each run is procedurally generated, and Iret—the game’s main character—switches masks to access new powers and playstyles.
The game runs on Somnia and ties into Uprising’s Gamers L.A.B. on-chain progression system, but the primary focus is on replayable gameplay loops and environmental combat. It’s being designed for PC first with potential for console later.
5. QRusader: Mobile Roguelite Powered by Real-World QR Codes
The final but not least of of the top 5 Somnia games to look out for is the mobile-first roguelite from Uprising Labs which puts players in the armor of a knight exploring procedurally generated dungeons. Each level is created by scanning a real-world QR code—each one builds a new layout, set of enemies, and difficulty level.
Inspired by Crossy Road, the game is built to be accessible on both Android and iOS. It includes cosmetic upgrades, player trading, and progression features built on Somnia’s infrastructure. A community for sharing and trading QR codes is expected to launch post-release.
What’s Next for Somnia Games
These top 5 Somnia games are early examples of what’s being built with the network’s support. With technical backing from Improbable and Uprising Labs, plus funding through the Dream Catalyst accelerator, Somnia is positioned to support developers launching mid-core and scalable multiplayer titles that use on-chain features for ownership and utility—not just speculation.
More games are expected to enter testing or launch phases later this year, as the network prepares for mainnet and broader onboarding.
