Hi! As a sucker for web-based games (don’t mind text-only games), I am always looking for new games which can be played in browser, but recently I found it hard to keep up-to-date with decent games, most lists in the internet compile the same 20 browser games with launch dates from 2009, where the playerbase is mostly dead. And yes, I am aware that browsergames are just dying out and this is one of the reasons for the dying playerbases. But, if you found any quirky (not the standard 4x-strategy games) web games, that deserve more love, I would love to try them out!

Here are some of my preferences:

  • medieval / fantasy genre (optional)
  • economic simulation (optional), but a simulation to some degree needed
  • micro management (1 person rather than a village; optional)
  • preferably long-term gameplay (see: Torn e.g.)
  • preferably released (new worlds/servers work too as “new release”) within the last year

Games I somewhat actively play: Torn, ZedCity, MMArmy, GeoGuessr

Games I used to play a lot: Tribal Wars, The West, MMATycoon, SimCompanies

I know browsergamers are similarily smiled upon like mobile gamers, but I do hope you answer my call for help regardless! ;)

Any help is hugely appreciated!

    Prosperous universe might fit the bill depending on how deep into economy sim you want to go. Beware that you have some limitations as a completely free player, that are removed (last I checked) after you’ve made at least one purchase. So think of playing “free” as an infinite demo.

      this game seems very promising, I’ll check it out later today. And I don’t mind spending a coin or two to help the developers. Thanks for the recommendation!
