These six cover the whole range of the browser RPG: one real-time action game, four that run on timers and patient planning, and one old-school hunter’s grind with a market at its heart. Each card shows the pace a normal week asks of you and where it runs.
Lead the party01Bigpoint’s isometric action MMO, and the only game on our shelf where combat is yours to steer. Choose one of four sharply different classes, fight through Dracania in real time, team up for the harder dungeons and test your build in the arena. It asks for proper evenings and pays them back.
Frontier favourite02InnoGames’ cowboy RPG has been running since 2008, and it remains the best-built community game here. Choose a class, take jobs across the territory, learn to duel, help build a town with your neighbours and turn out for fort battles. Its daily rhythm is calm; its social life is anything but.
Best for laughs03Playa Games’ comic RPG grew out of a webcomic that mocks big fantasy MMOs, and it keeps the jokes coming for years. Send your hero on timed tavern quests, raise five attributes, pick from a dozen classes and eight races, then take the long road through dungeons, the arena and guild life.
Grinder’s pick04Hunted Cow Studios’ world of Erildath is a classic hunter’s RPG with a remarkably long road: well over a thousand levels of realms and creatures. Spend stamina hunting across zones, learn crafting professions, trade at the auction house and buy buffs from other players. Patient, numbers-friendly and deeply social.
Arena daily05Gameforge’s Roman RPG has been running since 2007, and its daily loop is as tidy as a legion’s camp. Send your gladiator on timed expeditions against more than a hundred kinds of opponent, duel other players in the arena, clear dungeons for rarer gear and trade on the player market.
Gentle start06Gameforge’s Tanoth sets you loose in the kingdom of Aris with a quest board, a growing set of attributes and a trail of ancient ruins. Jobs resolve while you are away, legendary gear waits in the deeper places, and duels and guild boss fights give the long road some company.
