KingsAge — Medieval strategy in the browser
KingsAge is a free medieval strategy game in the browser. You expand your castle, train armies of knights and siege machines, forge alliances and conquer enemy castles.

Game content
- Castle building: Construct and expand your castle with dozens of building types for economy and military.
- Armies: Train various unit types from archers to siege machines.
- Alliances: Join forces with other players for coordinated campaigns and mutual defence.

BiteFight — Dark fantasy browser game with vampires and werewolves
BiteFight is a free dark fantasy browser game where you take on the role of a vampire or werewolf. You fight against other players, hunt for prey and climb the ranks — directly in the browser. The game was released by Gameforge in 2006 and is one of the classics among browser games.
Turn-based combat meets RPG elements in a dark fantasy setting. A typical game round takes only a few minutes, whilst long-term character development provides sustained motivation.
Game content
- Vampire: Elegance and dark power. Harness the night, master dark magic, manipulate your opponents.
- Werewolf: Raw strength and animal instinct. Pure power, fast attacks, power of transformation.
- PvP battles: Challenge other players. Every battle is decided by equipment, abilities and strategy.
- Clan system: Found or join a clan for protection, shared objectives and clan wars.
BiteFight runs in every modern browser, including on smartphones, and is still operated by Gameforge.
Ikariam — Ancient building game with research and trading
Ikariam is a browser building game set in ancient times. A central element is the research system, which is divided into several areas — including the economy. Here you can work your way up from simple achievements such as Preservation and Pulley through Prosperity, Wine Culture and Geometry to Architecture, Bureaucracy and several levels of Future of Economics.
Example economic research
- Culinary Specialities (10,764 research points): Allows the training of cooks in the barracks. Requirements: Holiday (Economics) and Market (Seafaring).
- Architecture (3,672 research points): Allows the construction of architectural offices. Requirements: Geometry (Economics) and Polytheism (Science).
Pirate fortress and privateering
At the pirate fortress you can command privateering expeditions. Depending on the expansion level of your fortress, you receive longer expeditions. Initially you have a privateering expedition that brings you 115 pirate points and 40 gold. The expansion level determines the available expeditions, your crew and range. With limited range you can only raid pirate fortresses on your island — expansion extends the radius.
Generally speaking: the higher the yield per time, the more effective the expedition — the shortest privateering expedition is the most effective.
OGame — Strategy in space
OGame is a browser strategy game set in space. Players colonise planets, expand buildings and develop technologies.
Example building: The Terraformer
As planets are increasingly developed, the question of limited living space on colonies becomes ever more important. The Terraformer is the technological answer to this: with the expenditure of enormous amounts of energy, it can cultivate entire regions or even continents. In the building, specially constructed nanites are continuously produced to ensure constant soil quality.
- Requirements: Nanite factory level 1 and energy technology level 12.
- Function: Per level you gain 5 new fields on the planet. 4 of these are practically usable if you want to build another terraformer.
- Construction time: With nanite factory level 1 and robot factory level 10, construction time at level 1 is approximately 15 minutes and 35 seconds. In universes 50, 60 and 70 this is half that.
- Note: Once built, the terraformer cannot be demolished again.
The terraformer was introduced in version 0.70a to give players in older universes the ability to construct new buildings. Its construction is especially worthwhile if you really want to get the most out of a planet.
Metin2 — Online role-playing game in the browser environment
Metin2 is a role-playing game with numerous equipment, combat and pet systems. The following is an overview of some game elements as documented in the wiki.
