About these games
Strategy games trade speed for thinking, which suits a touch screen: you tap a unit, tap where it goes and plan the next move. Turn-based games wait for you, while real-time ones ask for quicker taps.
Every one of these phone strategy games is marked Phone-friendly on Foundplay, which means its listing says it has touch controls. Tap a game to see its page and controls, then Play opens it on its creator's site in your browser.
Questions
- What are the most played phone strategy games?
- By plays on Foundplay: Lantern Valley, Field of Command, Magical Ferry: A River Crossing Puzzle Game, Clickipedia and Pumpkin Patrol — Halloween Tower Defense Game | Arcade Whale.
- Are idle and tower defense games here too?
- The ones in the Strategy genre are. Idle games marked Phone-friendly also have a page of their own, listed under More phone games.
- Do I need an account to keep my progress?
- It depends on the game. Many save in your browser, so progress stays on that phone and browser until you clear its data, and some offer an account of their own.
- Will these games work on my phone?
- Each one is marked Phone-friendly on Foundplay because its listing says it has touch controls. That isn't a test on every phone, so check the game's page for its controls and any browser needs before you play.
- Do I need to download an app?
- No. Each game opens in your phone's browser on the site where it's published, with nothing to install from an app store.
- Are these games free?
- Yes. Every game here is free to play in a browser. A few show ads or sell extras on their own sites.
- Do they work on iPhone and Android?
- They open in phone browsers such as Safari and Chrome. Touch controls don't promise that every phone can run every game: 3D games can need a newer phone and an up to date browser.
