It is not always necessary to download vast amounts of data in order to play an MMORPG or a shooter. Today, we present 5 online games that you can easily play in your browser.
Browser games have changed significantly over the past 26 years. In 1995, the first game of this kind, SOL, launched. The MMO placed you in a future where you were supposed to lead a space empire. Trade, wars, and diplomacy were important. However, graphically, SOL only offered text with some graphics.
Today, in the year 2021, things look a bit different. Complex 3D games are possible, some of which can even deliver impressive graphics. This includes, for example, League of Angels 3.
However, on December 31, 2020, the Flash standard was shut down, which affected many browser games. Some developers therefore switched to download clients, making the games not really browser games anymore. Others rely on the HTML5 standard, allowing the games to be played without downloading. Some developers programmed their own web clients so that players can continue to experience their titles in the browser.
On the first page of the article, we present MMORPGs, and on the second page, shooters that you can still easily and conveniently play in the browser and that are really worth it.
MMORPGs in Browser
hordes.io
Developer: Dek | Release: November 8, 2019 | Website: hordes.io

Through fights, the hero improves, and you acquire useful items that you can further enhance with runes.
What is special about the game? hordes.io is very accessible and simple to play. Thus, it is aimed more at casual players. While the title lacks some complexity compared to other MMORPGs, there is plenty to do, and you always feel like you are achieving something, even in a short time.
How do you play? Simply visit the hordes.io website and sign up there with your Google account. You will then create your hero and set off to explore the colorful 3D world.
Who is the game worth it for? Casual players who want to have fun in an MMORPG without having to delve into very complex game mechanics will surely enjoy hordes.io.
However, you should like a Minecraft-like graphic and not expect overly complex gameplay mechanics.
League of Angels 3
Developer: Youzu Games Hong Kong Limited / GTArcade | Release: August 14, 2018 | Website: League of Angels 3
What kind of game is this? League of Angels 3 is the latest game in the series and is played completely in 3D, unlike its predecessor. It is an MMORPG where you take on the role of angels. You can expect quests that guide you through a large world.
In this world, you battle monsters and improve your characters – as you can create several to play. PvP plays a role in tournaments where you compete against other players.
What is special about the game? The battles are fought in turns, which is very unusual for an MMORPG. This makes the confrontations very tactical. You need to plan your attacks carefully and use your skills thoughtfully.
How do you play? You need to install a WebPlayer (via League of Angels 3 website), through which you can conveniently play League of Angels 3 directly in the browser. Downloading a client is optional but not necessary.
Who is the game worth it for? League of Angels 3 is an MMORPG with some particularities, including the tactical turn-based battles and the fact that you create a group of heroes. If that interests you and you want a strategic approach to your game, then you should check out League of Angels 3.
If you do not like autoplay features and prefer to fight yourself or run to quest objectives, then League of Angels 3 is probably not the right game for you.
stein.world
Developer: pg5-Studio | Release: April 23, 2018 | Website: stein.world
What kind of game is this? stein.world places you in a world reminiscent of 16-bit games of the Super Nintendo era. Together with friends, you explore this world, complete quests, explore dungeons, and fight against monsters.
Crafting is an important aspect, as you create the most powerful items yourself.
What is special about the game? The competitive aspect is at the forefront. By accumulating fame and wealth through your actions and adventures, you compete with other players and climb the leaderboard.
How do you play? stein.world is based on HTML5 and therefore runs entirely in the browser. You only need to create an account on the stein.world website, and you are already in the game. Alternatively, it is possible to play the MMORPG via Steam.
Who is the game worth it for? If you grew up with SNES games but also like MMORPGs, then stein.world is definitely the right game for you. You can expect a classic online RPG that relies on the nostalgic factor of 16-bit.
If you’re not into the 16-bit look, then you might not enjoy stein.world. PvP fans should also look for another title.
Special case: Mad World
Developer: Jandisoft | Release: Not yet released | Website: Mad World MMO
What kind of game is this? Mad World is a classic MMORPG where you explore a dark world full of grotesque monsters. You team up with other players, delve into dungeons, defeat boss monsters, and improve your hero through a complex skill tree. PvP also plays a role in large battles. Mad World relies on hand-drawn 2D graphics.
What is special about the game? The hand-drawn graphics create a unique, dark atmosphere. The game has almost a horror scenario due to the gruesome monsters. This makes Mad World a very interesting MMORPG.
How do you play? Mad World has not yet been released. The release is scheduled for 2021 and an international alpha is planned for February. Then you can play directly via the website thanks to HTML5.
Why is Mad World a special case? Since the game has not yet been released, we are treating it separately. It seems to be a very interesting browser MMORPG that we do not want to withhold from you in this list. However, it is currently not playable.
Who is the game worth it for? If you want to play a classic and complex MMORPG without sacrificing much space on your hard drive? You also want to play the game anywhere and at any time? Then you should keep an eye on Mad World. The online RPG will be playable on PC in the browser, on smartphones, and also on consoles.
What the pros and cons of Mad World are, cannot yet be said, as it is not yet playable.
