What OGame is

According to its website, OGame is a space strategy browser game from Gameforge, running since 2002, where you conquer planets, research technologies, form alliances and fight space wars with thousands of other players.

So a game "like OGame" is a persistent browser game (PBBG) built on long-term growth, alliances and wars that play out while you are offline.

What to look for

• Persistence: a shared world that keeps going between sessions.
• Alliances: groups that plan together and win together.
• Territory: ground to take and hold.
• Long-term growth: progress you build for months or years.
• Fair monetization: a game where money can't buy power.

Vampire Genesis

Vampire Genesis is an RPG rather than a pure strategy game: you play one vampire, not an empire. But the group game will feel familiar. Where it overlaps and where it differs:

• Covens as alliances. Raise a coven from level 1 to 30 and fill its treasury together.
• Territory wars. Covens fight on three fronts for five of the eight districts on the city map, and the winner takes the ground.
• Your own character. Level to 500 and beyond, chase gear graded Poor to Legendary, and catch over 160 familiars.
• A gothic city, not space. Death Valley is a Victorian city running on far-future machines, with its own clock and weather. See the city guide.
• Cosmetic-only premium. The game never sells gold, Actions or gear.
