FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What are strategy games?

Strategy games are seen in many genres of games and usually share one key trait: the decision of the players determine the outcome of the game. Whether you are deciding how to best move troops around a warfare-like battlefield, which card to play in your favorite CCG to counter what your opponent may do, or even your next move in an online board game, strategy games task the player with thinking about future decisions, play lines, and possible counterplays that reach the best outcome.

Strategy games can be single player solo affairs, single players fighting against AIs, or even PvP competitive games and strategies for each game, match, or situation can vary wildly based on the player, circumstances, or unfolding game developments.

In short, if you must think carefully to avoid losing, you're probably playing a strategy game or a game that has a high number of strategic elements.

As we mentioned in our definition of strategy games, while strategy games can be a genre of its own, it's usually a feature of games from many genres so we recommend searching MMOBomb by your favorite genre and then adding the strategy filter to narrow down your options to genres you enjoy. Card games, MOBAs, and even some shooter games all have strategy elements.

In no order or specific genre though, here are a few popular free strategy games to help you get started:

1. Hearthstone
2. Fallout Shelter
3. Forge of Empires
4. Stronghold Kingdoms
5. Legends of Runeterra
