  • Yo can you guys make it so that we pay employees in our company monthly or weekly instead of daily because it's hard for new companies
    August 12, 2024
  • Very addictive game. Its slow in beginning. But fun. It's a game where all players run the game economy. Trades, wars, fights etc too many things. Absolutely worth spending real money on the game.

  • I created an account over a year ago and only got into the game recently (about a month ago). My best description of this game is "BitLife meets Grand Theft Auto" the community is actually really supportive.

  • Still learning. Some bits hard, like finding item, placing in box and wrapping. Lots of hits and tries and misses. Maybe that's the point. Much like "real life", enjoying exploring at this point.

Browser Games and Online Strategy Games

These days, with the most advanced personal computers and consoles in the world running games with cutting edge graphics, we can sometimes forget where we came from. The true essence of a game is in its gameplay and the way in which it involves players, which is why the browser based online strategy game is as popular as ever.

Everybody remembers the Runescape craze from a few years ago. That made browser games mainstream once again, but since its decline there has been a large gap. And we believe that Torn is the perfect game to fill that gap. This browser game is so appealing because it's also the type of game you can play at a pace that suits you. It's the type of game you can spend hours on or it's the type of game you can sneak onto whilst at work or to take a break. That's why Torn has tens of thousands of people playing each day.

Online strategy games are even better when it comes to playing within a browser, as the whole game is geared towards the casual player. This is what has made them so popular.

Torn is the ultimate online strategy game. It encompasses the depth and scale of a MMORPG with the ease-of-play of the simplest browser games. Now you can play anywhere, any time and enjoy this browser game in all its glory.
