A History of Turn Based Strategy Games Online

Online games have been greatly characterized by real time strategy games with the likes of StarCraft or Command and Conquer. Despite the immense popularity of these, one's notion of online games should not just be confined to these few, for there has been a newer and more exciting kind of online games that has been making a mark in the gaming battlefield. This type of online game is called the turn based strategy game.
Turn based strategy games are the exact opposite of rts games. If in a real time strategy game, all the gamers
can play at the same time and can perform their tactics and commands all at once, the scenario is different in a turn based strategy for each player takes turns when maneuvering or performing their tactics. In a way, these reminds the players of playing board games in such a way that a player can't act until the other player has done whatever he or she has to do.
One of the most popular turn based strategy games nowadays is the online game called Ferion. Ferion is just like the known war games like StarCraft, but it is different since it is turn based. It is somehow similar to StarCraft because of its science fiction appeal, but what sets Ferion apart from the likes of StarCraft is that it can be played on the browser, which makes it really accessible to anyone who wants to play online. If you want to play this game, all you need to do is to go to http://www.ferion.com and sign up so that you can have your account which will be your identity in this game. Once you've signed up, then you are all set to play Ferion. This online game consists of different games in which the players can be able to showcase their prowess in strategies. In this game, there are Arenas in which the players would have to dominate by using the right tactics to gain control of the majority of the arena so that the game can be concluded. Being a turn based game, this strategy game can actually last for some months before a victor emerges. Although this game doesn't have much action in it, this can still be worth your time because it requires a lot of strategizing that includes politicking and other sorts of tactics, compared to the usual real time strategy games. Unlike the real time online games that are somehow affected by how fast you click on your mouse, Ferion is a game that requires thinking more than mouse clicking.
This turn based strategy game is actually free, but in time you need to pay some money in order to fully enjoy the game. If you plan to be an expert in Ferion, then you should start preparing some bucks in the future. For now, if you only want to have a feel of this great and brain challenging game, then you can have it for free.
