Is Conqora an .io game?

Conqora comparison · updated 2026-10-16

"io games" got their name from the .io web addresses of hits like Agar.io and Slither.io: free, instant, multiplayer games in the browser. Conqora lives at conqora.io and keeps every good habit of the genre:

• Instant: press Join game and you are in.
• Free: no paywall, cosmetics only.
• Multiplayer: up to 30 players per public game.
• No download: the browser is the platform.
• Guest play: no account needed to start.

What it adds to the io formula

Most io games are about reflexes. Conqora is about decisions. After the io-style first minute (click to grow), the game opens into an economy, a navy with aircraft carriers, alliances and betrayal, and a nuclear endgame. It has the depth of a strategy game and the pace of an io game, which is why players who outgrow other io games stay.

What a Conqora match looks like, minute by minute

An io game should be easy to understand from the first second. Here is how a typical 10–30 minute Conqora match unfolds:

io habits that carry over

If you've played other io games, a few instincts will serve you well right away:

• Keep moving. Standing still is the slowest way to grow. In Conqora troops regrow fastest at about 40% of your maximum, so keep sending waves.
• Avoid the crowd early. Spawning away from other players gives you room to grow before the first fight.
• Watch the leaderboard. It shows land and troops; a player growing fast with few troops is over-extended.
• Play the next game. A public match starts every few minutes, so one loss is never the end of the night.

io habits to unlearn

• Reflexes matter less than timing. Winning comes from choosing where to attack and when, not from fast clicks.
• Don't go all in by default. The attack ratio (Z and X) sets the share of troops per click. At 100% one stalled attack empties your border.
• Gold is not a score. Gold in the bank does nothing; turn it into cities, ports and defense posts as soon as you can.
• Other players can be friends. Right click to propose an alliance. Allies can't attack each other for five minutes, share vision and trade more.

Conqora's io features

Tips for your first three matches

1. Match one: just grow. Take empty land at a 30–50% ratio, buy a City (key 1) when you reach 125K gold, and watch how troops and gold rise.
2. Match two: build an economy. Add a Port (key 3) on your coast and a Defense Post (key 4) facing your nearest neighbour. Notice how trade ships pay out.
3. Match three: make friends and enemies. Ally a neighbour, push the other way, and try a boat attack by clicking land across water.

After that, the beginner's guide, the advanced strategy guide and the nukes guide take you further.
