What’s in the strategy category
Strategy here means games where you plan, build, or decide over multiple steps. Tower Defense, City Defender, and similar games sit in this group. You place units, manage resources, and react to waves of enemies. They’re deeper than a one-shot reflex game but still playable in short sessions.
All are free and run in the browser. No download.
Session length and difficulty
A typical run is about ten to thirty minutes. Difficulty varies. Some levels are quick; others take longer. You can save progress in-session in some games, but we don’t require accounts.
Who it’s for
If you like tower defense or light strategy without committing to a huge campaign, this category fits. Good for a break or a focused short session.
