Strategy Games

What are strategy games?

Strategy games reward planning over reflexes. You decide where to expand, when to attack and what to build, and a good plan beats fast fingers. Some play out in real time against people online; others are turn-based, so you can think every move through.

Territory and conquest games

The most played strategy games on Kiwi Games are about taking over the map. In Territorial io you expand your land in multiplayer or solo, War Nations io has you deploy troops to conquer foreign lands, and Kiomet is real-time strategy where you capture, fortify and upgrade territory. Hexanaut is a faster, arcade take on claiming ground.

Civilization and survival strategy

Grow something from nothing. Wanderers io turns a few people into a tribe, God Simulator has you spread your religion across the world, and Tzared io is a real-time strategy conquest game with a loyal following.

Space and sea strategy

Planet Capture is real-time strategy in 3D space, and in Idle Arks: Sail and Build 2 you build an ark, recruit a crew and raid pirates.

Chess and classic strategy

Turn-based thinking at its purest. Play Master Chess, try Battle Chess Puzzle, where you merge knights to overpower the enemy, or play Dots and Boxes, the pen-and-paper classic. Royal Siege has you defend your castle against invading hordes. See also board games.

Tips for strategy games

• Expand early, but don't spread too thin. A long border is harder to defend.
• Watch your opponents, and strike when they're busy fighting someone else.
• In turn-based games, think about your opponent's best reply before you move.
