GrepolisFlagship pick01
Greek island strategy

Grepolis

Build a city-state in a mythic Aegean, choose a patron god and spend their favour on miracles and creatures like Pegasus and the Hydra. Every new colony sits across the water, so triremes, transport boats and a good alliance decide everything. Deep, sociable and still busy, with a phone app for between-session check-ins.

Seafight

Bigpoint’s pirate adventure puts you at the wheel of a single ship and lets you fight sea monsters and other captains in real time. Upgrade the hull, haul treasure home and join a guild when the seas get crowded. The most immediate voyage here, loud and quick, with a long tail of upgrades.

IkariamTrader’s choice03
Mediterranean trade strategy

Ikariam

Gameforge’s ancient island builder gives every island a single luxury resource, so wine, marble, crystal glass and sulphur must be traded, shipped or taken by force. Run cargo routes between your towns, research in the Academy and besiege rival ports. Calm early, clever throughout, and the best pure trading game here.

Battle Pirates

Kixeye’s naval war game is about building warships from the hull up: choose armour, weapons and components, then send fleets across an ocean map against rival bases. Your own island base needs turrets and repair docks to hold. Intense, technical and demanding, now running on WebGL rather than Flash.

Farm and exploration sim

Sunrise Village

InnoGames’ restful farm adventure has you helping your grandfather revive an overgrown village, where thorny vines choke the buildings and a strange stone circle hides a mystery. Grow peas, make hay and plywood, repair workshops and float a hot air balloon to new land. Peaceful, pretty, and playable on your phone.
