About strategy games

Strategy games reward a plan more than fast fingers. On Bhayson Games that means tower defense, base building, auto-battlers, creature tactics and a calm idle game, all playable in the browser on a phone or a computer. Most let you learn against the computer first, and some let you take your plan online.

New to strategy? Rune Ramparts is a good start: every enemy has a clear weakness, so each map is a puzzle about which tower goes where. Wildbond is turn-based, and every battle is a choice between fighting a creature and making it a friend. Obsidrift is a full sci-fi base builder with three factions, short lessons and online 1v1. If you want something slower, Merge Cosmos is an idle game about merging stardust into stars and galaxies, and Park Rivals lets you build a 3D theme park and visit other players' parks.

Good places to start

• Rune Ramparts

  Each map can be beaten many ways with eight special towers, and harder modes are there when you are ready.

• Wildbond

  Turn-based battles where you can befriend wild creatures, plus an endless tower to climb after the story.

• Obsidrift

  Build a base and an army as Helix, Myriad or Aether. Short lessons teach one thing at a time.

• Wildspirit Arena

  An auto-battler where the skill is in what you buy, sell and place. You pick one of three heroes each game.
