Artifact

Artifact is a highly engaging and strategic multi-player game that takes place in a persistant world in real-time. Players from across the United States and the world come together to compete for control of the Artifacts. Here, players not only compete with one another, but they can also create alliances with other players to guard their back while they are offline.

The game's real-time combat is what sets it apart, providing players with the thrill of an intense battle experience. All building, movement, and combat are resolved in real-time, giving players the ability to build their empire, scout their neighbors and wage war in real-time.

Moreover, Artifact's persistent world feature means that the game is always running. When you log out, your empire doesn't stop growing. Your population, workers, and military continue to function and defend your holdings.

One of the best things about this game is that it can be played for free. Players can choose to learn the ropes without paying a cent and then decide whether to go for full access. Overall, Artifact is a fantastic game that every strategy game enthusiast should try out.
