About these games

Strategy games reward thinking before acting. Instead of fast reflexes, they ask you to manage resources, read your opponent and commit to a plan, then adapt when it starts to fall apart. This section covers everything from bite-sized tower defence to long real-time campaigns.

Two of our own games from the SpaceDino team live here. Braveward is a voxel kingdom strategy game about growing and protecting your realm, and Star Battle is real-time space strategy where you direct fleets across the map. Among the partner games, Perimeter - Legate Edition offers a distinctive take on real-time warfare, Empire Tower Defense - Zombie Fortress and Defend the Castle test how well you place your defences, and WW1 Battle Simulator lets you stage historical-style clashes. Board and card games round out the section for players who prefer turn-based duels.

Strategy suits patient players, puzzle lovers and anyone who enjoys the moment a plan finally comes together. Every game runs in the browser without a download, and an account is optional.

Frequently asked questions

Are Braveward and Star Battle free?
Yes. Both are made by the SpaceDino team and are free to play in the browser, just like every other game in the catalogue.
Can I play strategy games on a phone?
Many lighter strategy and tower defence games work well on phones. Games with large maps and many units to manage are usually more comfortable on a tablet or computer.
Do I need to finish a strategy game in one sitting?
Not always. Some games save progress in your browser on the same device, while others are built around self-contained matches you can finish in one go.
