OGame is a browser space strategy game from Gameforge that has been running since 2002 and is one of the oldest games of its kind. You start with one planet in a shared galaxy. There are Russian-language universes and a mobile app.
The economy runs on metal, crystal and deuterium: mines, research, shipyards and defences. Fleets take hours to reach targets and battles resolve automatically from fleet composition and tech, so the game is about planning, scouting and raiding other players' stockpiles. A class (Collector, General or Discoverer) and lifeforms — Humans, Kaelesh, Rock'tal and Mechas — give different bonuses, and alliances coordinate joint attacks.
It suits players who like slow strategy and a few minutes of play a day. Newcomers have a hard time among veteran raiders, and Dark Matter bought with money speeds things up noticeably.
