Online Strategy Games

Well, the future of online strategy games is bright. Considering I got over a billion results when I googled "online strategy games" most likely each of us can find at least one that we like. I would say it depends on what type of game you like. There are short games, like these:

There are long MMO games that thousands of people spend just as many hours on. These are some of my favorites:

MMO 1 and MMO 2

I think that there is an OSG for everyone. I will cover a few different types next.

TD Games:

TD, or Tower Defense games, are games where usually towers are purchased and placed by the player, and multiple waves of enemies spawn at an entrance, and attempt to make it all the way through to the exit. In most TD games, when an enemy makes it to an exit, one life is lost. Towers usually can be upgraded with money gained from defeated enemies. Personally, TD games are very fun to play, but I am a completionist, so I feel like I don't really get anything from it. If you are a completionist like me, I recommend playing Bloons TD 5 off of Ninja Kiwi.

Empire Building Games:

For anyone who has played an MMO in their entire life, you should know that EBG's are extremely popular today. Basically, the object of playing is to build a city and conquer the world. Some are a bit tedious, but others are very fun. Obviously there are no shortage of these types of games, and they should not be overlooked, as some can provide entertainment for months.

Puzzle Games:

Puzzle games are fun to play. Online puzzle games like to pit the player against a series of similar puzzles that increasingly get more difficult. These are more for the quick thinking strategic gamer, and not like me. I can't think quick on my feet. Instead, I take longer to decide my actions, and often excell at other types of games.

There are tons of Online Strategy Games out there.. If you are anything like me, you'll be pretty picky. I have tried out hundreds of OSG's, and I only play three regularly. Remember, the best way to find a good OSG is to try a few out. I will leave a few good ones linked below, other than the ones above. Feel free to use them, thats what they are there for. Have fun gaming!
