In-browser games

What are some free in-browser games you bronies enjoy?

 

I'll post a few of my favorites.

 

www.kingdomofloathing.com

 is my top favorite.  It looks terrible, with stick-figure art and so on, but that's intentional.  The writing is hilarious.  Usually I can convince people to try it based on the character classes you can play, alone.  Seal Clubber, Turtle Tamer, Pastamancer, Sauceror, Accordion Thief, and Disco Bandit.  It's a game with a lot of replay potential, because when you finish the main questline you have the option to 'ascend' and reincarnate, potentially keeping one of your skills from your first playthrough.  You can give yourself handicaps in subsequent playthroughs that will give you greater rewards if you finish *that* playthrough.  Like most of these games, you can pay real currency for in-game items if you wish, but you're limited in how much progress you can make each day regardless.  While there's no multiplayer as we'd tend to think of it, there is optional PvP, and you can join a clan/guild, and clans can purchase access to clan dungeons, which you cooperatively explore/conquer...though each player still plays on their own.  The interface doesn't provide a way to form a party.

 

 

 

http://www.unlok.ca/wayward/ A graphical rogue-like, this game reminds me a lot of Minecraft with its crafting system.  Give it a try, wander around.  Try not to let a giant spider kill you.

 

 

http://www.minethings.com/miners/index/+127523  (That's my recruit link.  If you don't want me to get any kickbacks, just use www.minethings.com )  is a veeeeeeery slow-paced mining game.  Not terribly exciting by any stretch, but if you like the excitement of unearthing who-knows-what and think you have the patience, give it a try.  I've never seen a game this slow before, and at least you don't have to pay much attention to it!

 

 

http://www.erepublik.com is an...electronic republic.  There are elections, constant wars, and factories pumping out goods everywhere.  It was more of an interesting idea when it started, when politics was actually something approaching *real* politics and the parties apparently had different ideologies, but it's still a bit fun.  This one really pushes you hard to spend money to get ahead.

Command and Conquer Tiberium Alliances is by far the best browser game I have ever played. Teamwork is a must, as well as wits. Hell, I help lead one of the most massive alliances on my planet, and one wrong move on my part could result in a world war. But note, this game can take up a lot of your time and you need to be somewhat dedicated to it. Here is where you can find it.

 

That said, it is like every other Command and Conquer game, ether you like it or not. I surely do.

I've honestly not played many in game browser games to be honest, and I don't really actively play any anymore.

 

I did use to play some stuff like adventure quest, dragon fable(proably my favorite when I played it) mech quest, adventure quest worlds, and a little bit of epic duel when it first came out.

 

I just discovered them all because they're made by the same company, they're still good I guess, they've got some funny dialogue and stuff, although after playing them as long as I did I just kinda got a little bored of them I guess.

 

Haven't played them very recently though, not any browser games honestly, maybe I will sometime just for the heck of it though

Oh god yes, Kingdom of Loathing. Jick is a genius for writing that game. Some things make me laugh my ass off, even when they're simple jokes like The City Gourd. (URK!)

 

The last time I played, they recently updated the Orc Chasm to make it even more suggested and innuendo filled. And the Palindome is crazy awesome.

 

Even better how Jick takes some anti-poopsocking measures as to not reward visiting the game every hour to get the best results (I'm looking at you, every other browser-based game since ever). One day is more than enough, and the adventure cap fills up every five days if you don't count in food/booze/spleen.

 

Awesome to see someone bring that game up here.

Oh god yes, Kingdom of Loathing. 

 

The name isn't just a name either.  The game mocks pretty much everything and every one at some point.  Hippies, frat boys, Trekkies, furries, Linux enthusiasts, Harry Potter fans, Twilight fans, Whovians, the list is endless and so are the puns.  They add new quests and areas, and upgrade old quests/areas with fair regularity.

 

Did I mention the game has an absurdly rich crafting system?  You can craft food, booze, weapons, armor, accessories, familiars, potions, and more.  There's a wiki to help you out if you get stuck, but helpfully, the game keeps track of the recipes you've discovered already so you needn't figure out what you had to combine to make eggnog, all over again.

I've been a fan of browser games since I was little and my favourite website would have to be www.nitrome.com also on Youtube Nerd³ does a series called Free Game Friday which are pretty much all games with interesting concepts. They are all either in browser or free to download.

Just learned of a new one today, called Candy Box.  http://candies.aniwey.net/

It's ascii art based, and definitely a feel-your-way-through sort of game, but it seems interesting.  Lots of 'oh neat, now I can do THIS' moments.

Board Game Online comes to mind. It is a very silly game and having a Skype call with other players is recommended.

 

If you are easily offended tho, you might want to stay away from it..

 

The game/website keeps running with the help of donations and they add new features and events quite often. I'm actually not going to tell anything else, because i want you to experience it blindly.

Wartune is the best browser based MMORPG I've ever played! I really enjoyed the gameplay and graphics and the way it blends MMORPG and Strategy game!
