Many people like online browser games. The abundance of content makes it possible to fully reveal the potential without devoting a large amount of time to the game process itself. If you wish, you can go through a couple of quests, participate in a tournament or a new event. And with a new level there will be valuable prizes. The article will discuss the ranking of browser games.
General information
Often there are squeamish reviews saying that browsers are a relic of the past. This is usually written by fans of client projects, faced with old offspring who ceased to exist for several reasons.
Browser games on PC have long reached the desired level and are able to “butt” with client. The advantages are obvious: no need to bother with the installation, if there is not enough free space on the hard drive. It is enough to have a stable Internet connection and an updated browser.
With the advent of cheap and affordable Internet, the era of browser games has come. Strategies, MMO RPGs, shooters and action games are all that a sophisticated audience wants.
Projects are as accessible as possible, system requirements are lower compared to client ones. Games improve and keep up to date. Ratings of the best browser games are often updated: a project that has earned an honorary award can “slide” in an instant and vice versa. It all depends on the development plans laid down by the developers. We will not consciously award specific places, but simply arrange the projects in the order that seems optimal to us.
Vikings: War of Clans
The rating of browser games opens Plarium's product called “Vikings: Clan War”. An MMO strategy with elements of 3D graphics, where you have to develop a settlement, recruit an army, pump a hero and unite in clans to withstand other formations.
The project is interesting to everyone who is close to the aesthetics of Scandinavia: thematic patterns, runes, magic charms and the fighting spirit of the Scandinavian squads.
Attractive graphics, beautiful images that I want to return to again and again, convenient communication and a friendly interface - these are the qualities for which the project has earned a place in the ranking of browser games.
The negative side is the similarity to many projects like Travian or The Last Shelter. Another minus is the big gap between donates and ordinary players. Like it or not, and whoever is stronger is right. Accordingly, the winner is the one who invested more money.
The atmosphere is spoiled by the presence of units of non-Scandinavian origin. For example, legionnaires. In addition, the presence of horns on helmets is historically unreliable. It is known that the Vikings did not wear such helmets.
Dragon knight 2
The continuation of the popular MMO RPG, in which, according to the developers, the mistakes made in the first part were corrected. The number of special effects is optimized so that they do not take away the lion's share of attention. That is, there are fewer bright explosions and animations that fill the screen, distracting from the storyline.
Redesigned battles in PvP mode, changed the mechanics of the actions of monsters in locations, added skills (including pets) and a chance appeared to ride a dragon.
The plot is simple: valiant light knights protect the Tree of Life from demons, to prevent the world of people from plunging into chaos.
Positive reviews note colorful graphics, interesting quests, locations and opponents. A fly in the ointment is a small number of players. Often new servers open, where people who want to start everything from scratch jump, so about 300 people remain active, and developers are reluctant to solve the problem.
Travian legends
Another strategy in the ranking of browser games, mechanics similar to the "Vikings". The player chooses one of three factions: Germans, Gauls and Romans. Each side has its own characteristics.
Gamers unite in clans and alliances to successfully interact: trade, exchange resources, protect each other and wage war of conquest.
Users like the cartoonish interface and the idea of building a Wonder of the World as the final phase of the server. That is, the game has a goal.
However, there are many negative comments. Users note that the product is time consuming. One should literally take a nap, as the village is already behind in development.
"Time for the Hero"
It is noteworthy that this is a Russian browser game. The project, vaguely reminiscent of "Heaven", it has a lot of similar characters. Perhaps the same artist painted.
The plot revolves around the confrontation between people and the gods of Chaos. Colorful characters, PvP battles and interesting tasks are why the project got into the rating of browser games.
Negative reviews speak of monotony, boredom and ill-conceived.
Xcraft
The project appeared in 2013 and remotely resembles Starcraft. The gameplay is based on the desire of three galactic civilizations to expand their zones of influence by capturing other planets.
The key to success is a strong space fleet. Indeed, in addition to capturing the planets, it is necessary to protect the already mastered. Otherwise, the enemy will penetrate while the player is busy colonizing other parts of space.
Users are pleased with the original gameplay, ease of development, an interesting plot. The lack of musical accompaniment, as well as poor balance, upsets. Much is tied to the donation, because you need either a lot of money, or literally live in the game.
SAO's Legend
The name stands for Sword Art Online's Legend. Free MMO RPG about the world of the future where human life is closely connected with technology. Colorful characters, an automated quest system and many innovative technological solutions for the genre.
The plot is based on developments that can immerse a person in virtual reality.
The gameplay is not overloaded with confusing innovations, so it seems simple even to a beginner. Quests are reduced to the elimination of monsters and the gathering of resources in order to further upgrade weapons.
There are both guild PvP and battles of a more global scale. There are raid bosses that go in droves.
Users are pleased with the excellent graphics in anime style and many features. In addition, there is multiplayer.
Disadvantages are high system requirements and the lack of a Russian-language version. Nevertheless, anime fans rated the product, and so it got into the rating of browser games.
Forge of empires
Another strategy remotely resembling Sid Meyer's Civilization. It is necessary to develop the state, science, economy and develop technologies for a step into a brighter future.
The project fell into the rating of browser games due to the presence of single and multiplayer modes.
Fans of this genre note that the game is interesting only in the initial stages. Upon reaching the level of the Middle Ages it becomes boring and monotonous.
In any case, only a player who decides to plunge into the world of the project and not read the reviews can appreciate it and make his own opinion.
Throne: kingdom at war
Another brainchild of Plarium, like Vikings: War of Clans. Excellent graphics and well-designed economic decisions will help the player in the difficult struggle for power over the World Throne.
The interface is simple and convenient, without extra windows and ads. A quick simple learning process introduces a gamer who has not encountered analogues before. It is necessary to extract resources, improve buildings in the castle, learn new technologies. And of course, train a strong army.
The downside is the small “gluttony” of the graphic component - it takes too long to load, especially on tablets.
Storm online
MMO RPG for fans of Diablo - the interface looks similar. Hack-n-slash browser: the player will have to run a lot, swinging his sword, and destroy the hordes of demons, corpses and other evil spirits, destroying everything that belongs to the enemy.
There are three classes to choose from: Warrior, Sorcerer and Shooter. For each, a branch of skill development is implemented: the first is designed for close combat, the second has a lot of spells in the arsenal, and the third is ideal for killing from a distance.
In general, the reaction of the players to such a creation is positive, only the fact that not all heroes are free is upsetting.
League of Angels 3
The browser novelty continues the rating - the League of Angels 3 game. Light forces, as usual, confront the demons, but now about 30 characters are offered to choose from. An elaborate interesting plot with unexpected twists, colorful graphics and epic battles will surprise any player.
Ten plot chapters with a logical ending leave a positive impression. Some locations remained from the previous parts, which cannot but rejoice.
Negative reviews of gamers indicate the impossibility of developing some character skills without an infusion of real money.
Neverlands
The once-in-the-top text-based PRG in the ranking of browser-based games marked “The Earth, which is not there” celebrated its 14th anniversary in 2018. All actions are performed by simple clicks of the mouse on the screen, respectively, and without any problems it starts on the weakest PC, phone or tablet.
Two classes (Mage and Warrior) with unique development paths and a uniform battle system attracted many people to the game back in 2004. Both people over 40 and young, less than 20 years old gamers chatted in chat rooms.
But now Neverlands has exhausted its potential and is slowly dying. The game was unable to switch to the application format for Android or iOs and failed to provide a stream of users. Online is at best 1,500 people.
Someone has pleasant memories, someone does not want to stop communicating with good people, and someone likes the game. In any case, it is worth a glimpse and appreciate this creation.
"Advanced"
Completing the ranking of browser games on the network is another text-based RPG based on the Second World War. The mechanics of battles are the same as in Neverlands, respectively, and the fate is similar.
A vivid example of how a great idea is losing popularity due to a stop in development. The project has lost popularity, fewer and fewer players. Judging by the reviews, the developers do not really pay attention to the project, especially paid services.
Accordingly, players gradually leave, not seeing the point in monotonous combat systems, where you need to perform the same actions for days in order to pump a character.
Verdict
Many claim that popular browser games are not worth the time. Not at all! Projects are developing no worse than client versions.
They can be considered as a short hobby, when you need to do something to kill time. With client this will not work. However, any project can become a long-term or constant entertainment, because in both cases it is interesting to develop, enjoy colorful animations and communicate with interesting people.
There are frequent cases when the communication of gamers in the project goes into real life, and then develops into something more. So become friends or lovers. Clans are so friendly formations that raise funds to congratulate the participant or help financially in real life.
Like it or not, and games bring together. And it doesn’t matter, client or primitive browsers. There are good people everywhere!
