In the last months no new projects have been launched in the strategy browser games market, partly because many developers are focusing on the development of mobile versions of successful and well known games.
Fortunately, despite the lack of novelty, there are still fun titles and millions of active users, which is why today we will list some of the best free online strategy games of 2018.
Forge of Empires
One of the most beautiful browser games of all time, developed by a German company specializing in strategy games and characterized by the possibility of progressing through the ages. InnoGames has indeed been able to create a truly engaging experience, allowing you to start from the Stone Age and advance to the Future. Starting with simple huts and tools, you can move on to more and more advanced structures and technologies, leveling up, financing research and assisting to a continuous transformation of the game scenario. All embellished by a high-quality, animated and realistic graphics.
Vikings: War of Clans
A strategy browser game developed by Plarium and inspired by the Viking culture, where in the role of a Jarl you can lead an army of warriors towards the conquest of the world. With a large initial territory and a good amount of resources, it will be easy to build a large village full of buildings and expert craftsmen capable of making weapons, armors and everything necessary for the troops. There are numerous units to choose from, in addition to war machines such as baliste and catapults, each with unique characteristics that can make the difference on the battlefield.
Goodgame Empire
A famous strategy browser game developed by Goodgame Studios, a team specializing in browser and mobile games. In this bg you can build from scratch a real empire, complete with a castle and defensive walls to keep the inhabitants safe. What most characterizes and differentiates this game from other browser games is undoubtedly the cartoon style graphics, particularly brilliant and quality.
Elvenar
Another strategy game developed by InnoGames, this time fantasy and characterized by the presence of two different races to choose from: elves and humans. Depending on the faction, the appearance of units and buildings changes, but regarding the gameplay there are not many differences. Another interesting aspect of the game concerns the turn-based combat system, thanks to which it is possible to face both other players and IA enemies. All strictly in 3D, with a very colorful and quality graphics.
Throne: Kingdom at War
This strategy browser game developed by Plarium offers a gameplay almost identical to Vikings: War of Clans, but differentiating in terms of army units and other mostly artistic details. Instead of leading an army of Vikings in the role of a Jarl, you can rule a medieval kingdom and train classic units from that era. Overall this is a quality game, a valid alternative for fans of strategic titles.
Imperia Online
About 13 years after its release, this real-time strategic video game developed by the homonymous Imperia Online Ltd continues to resist and amuse millions of players. It is a game available in many languages, medieval and complete with all the typical features of the genre. In these years of development and continuous updates, Imperia has not only introduced new content but has also benefited from a complete graphic restyling.
Travian
We conclude the list of the best strategy browser games of 2018 with one of the pioneers of the industry, a product developed by Travian Games and launched back in 2004 when there weren’t dozens of copied games. Gauls, Romans and Teutons continue to fight for almost 15 years in this conceptually simple game, where everything takes place in a single screen with menus that allow to manage every aspect of the village. Over time there have been many updates and improvements, but nothing has changed the simple and intuitive basics of gameplay that have made the game experience famous and timeless.
