Overview

Your team of five must strategically capture points, called power circles, in order to grant your Guardian enough power to attack the enemy Guardian, at which point you get the awesome privilege of seeing your gigantic creature dart across the map to give the enemy a good walloping, causing the enemy Guardian to become vulnerable to damage. If your Guardian overpowers the enemy’s enough, then it will be instantly wounded, and you won’t even need to attack it yourself. Talk about a sense of satisfaction (or overwhelming weight of your failures if you’re on the other end).
The game currently features 21 heroes, with more arriving as time goes on, and three maps, plus the expected assortment of skins for both heroes and weapons.

➔ Main points:

  • 5v5 skirmishes
  • Fast-paced 3rd person action
  • Contribute to the battle in a wide variety of roles, including tanks, supports, and nukers.
  • Cartoonish, stylized graphics

Call of War: 1942 is a strategy game set during World War 2. You build, you expand, you go to war, and yes – you exploit. Call of War is most definitely a 4X (eXplore, eXpand, eXploit, and eXterminate) game, and even if that genre isn’t quite familiar to you, you’ve probably heard of another immensely popular 4X game: Civilization. Call of War takes the concepts of a 4X game and applies them to a free-to-play model.

➔ Main points:

  • Browser-based 4X strategy game
  • Matches last weeks
  • Set during WWII
  • Light system requirements

Dark Omen is a high fantasy browser-based MMORPG that pits you and other heroes against a demon invasion and you must save your world. The game is free to play and features in-depth MMORPG systems like PvE dungeons, PvP arenas, Guilds and more which is great for browser players.

The game offers limited class choices at launch, but makes up for it with very good graphics and combat mechanics. Content isn't original, but offers enough progression such as upgrading mounts, gear and more to keep players interested at the end-game.

➔ Main points:

  • Completey free to play at launch with optional cash shop
  • Lack of class choices as only two available at launch

In most collectible card games, the hero, or summoner (or whatever you want to call it), sits out of sight, signified by a portrait, but in Duelyst, your general starts on the battlefield and gives the game its namesake. Battles in Duelyst are just that, duels. It’s your general pitted against your enemy’s general, and all the cards you play are in service of that.

➔ Main points:

  • fun implementation of generals
  • lots of strategic options
  • grid-based movement and positioning
  • great pixel art

The game utilizes traditional browser-like features like auto-pathing, grinding and RNG gear upgrading to name a few. For a free to play title, the cash shop is very influential which is to be expected. Eudemons Online's strength is in its classic gameplay, giving fans of 'Asian Grinder' games a solid game to get hooked onto. It's weak points are the aging engine and graphics, plus the advantageous cash store. Overall, Eudemons Online is a great window into the classic non-3D MMORPG titles of the past, and is worth a look if you're a fan of what it offers.

➔ Main points:

  • 2.5D MMORPG with classic gameplay
  • Fun and interesting pet system
  • Free to play title with optional advantages

Fairy Tail: Hero's Journey is the official online MMORPG of the manga series. For a free to play web-browser game, fans of the franchise will be rewarded as it features authentic characters and story from the manga.

The gameplay is easy to grasp as players pick from one of three classes and progress through the world via leveling up themselves and their companions. Combat is turn-based with party dynamics that are fun to watch due to the excellent animations. However, the battles are passive for the most part meaning you actively do nothing but watch most of the time. The game also has an in-depth cash shop that can be advantageous, but not necessary for end-game progression. Overall, Fairy Tail: Hero's Journey is a good free to play title that will serve loyal fans of the series with plenty of originality and fun.

➔ Main points:

  • Gorgeous authentic world and art style based on the Fairy Tail franchise
  • Dozens of pets and companions to collect
  • Turn-based party battle system but passive in design
  • Free to play browser game but expect intrusive cash shop
  • Easy to follow stories and quests for fans but will differ for newcomers

➔ Main points:

  • Free to play modern warfare browser sim
  • Intuitive UI design makes it easy to play

Hero Wars is a browser-based RPG adventure game by Nexters, also available on mobile devices.
It's a casual free-to-play game with over 100 million downloads in the Android and iOS App Store, and also one of the most popular Facebook games in 2023.
But why is it so popular?

One thing we appreciated about Hero Wars is its easy-to-learn gameplay.
You simply follow the storyline or campaign and get to battle with unique and strong heroes: most of the combat will happen automatically, but the player can make a difference by using each character's special skills at the right moment.

The game has pretty good graphics: playful, colorful and eye-catching.
The artworks of the characters are quite different from other similar casual games, and the skill effects used by each character were relatively impressive.

In Hero Wars, you collect over 50 unique heroes to make your team strong. You can obtain these characters by playing the campaign, where you will be rewarded heroes at certain stages. However, you can only use the five strongest heroes in battle.

There are 13 campaigns with 190 missions, and the farther you go, the stronger the enemies become. But don't worry, as you complete each mission, you will receive good and rare loot equipment.

In addition, you can equip each hero with suitable equipment for your class, and level up your heroes by giving them XP brews or sacrificing 10 weaker heroes. The higher the grade of the heroes, the higher their level can be.

Each stage/mission has three stages inside, and the last stage is where you will face the boss. You can also join a guild and start guild battles with your friends.

Marvel Rivals is a fast-paced 6v6 hero shooter from NetEase that mashes Saturday-morning energy with competitive tactics. You pick from an ever-growing Marvel roster—from iconic blasters to bruisers and tricksters—and dive into objective-driven modes where abilities, cooldowns, and positioning matter as much as your aim. The hook isn’t just capes and quips; it’s the game’s signature hero synergies: certain pairs (or teams) can chain skills into spectacular team-up ultimates that change the flow of a fight. One moment your squad is scrapping on a capture point; the next, a duo unleashes a cinematic combo that deletes cover, repositions enemies, or turns a chokepoint into a highlight reel.


Maps pull from familiar Marvel locales—shiny cityscapes, mythic realms, high-tech fortresses—and lean into destructible cover. Blowing holes in barricades creates new sightlines and flanking routes, so rounds evolve as teams terraform the battlefield with their powers. It’s visually loud in a good way: comic-book panel flourishes, bold silhouettes, and effects that sell each hero’s identity without losing legibility (most of the time).


The pacing is aggressive but readable: frontline tanks initiate, blasters and skirmishers clean up, and supports/controllers keep the engine running with heals, shields, snares, and debuff flips. The result is a brawl that rewards coordinated pushes and cleverly timed ultimates over lone-wolf heroics. Expect the usual F2P trimmings—skins, emotes, and likely a battle pass—with balance and unlocks being a living conversation over time.


Caveats? Early builds showed balance volatility (superhero rosters are hard to equalize), occasional readability spikes when six ultimates collide, and onboarding that could do more to teach the synergy ecosystem. But when it clicks—when your team layers buffs, detonates a combo, and turns a map into sculpted rubble—Marvel Rivals delivers that rare “we planned this” rush. If you want a flashy, coordination-first shooter with meaningful teamplay, this might become your new nightly queue.

➔ Main points:

  • Team-up synergies: combine compatible heroes to unleash area-warping, objective-flipping combo abilities.
  • Destructible environments: shred cover, carve flank routes, and force teams to adapt on the fly.
  • 6v6 objective modes: focus on coordinated pushes, rotates, and layered ultimates to win.
  • Role variety: bruisers, blasters, controllers, and supports enable multiple paths to victory.
  • Marvel-flavored maps: iconic locales reimagined with verticality, jump routes, and interactive hazards.
  • Cosmetic progression: skins and seasonal rewards fuel long-term customization without stat inflation.
