Outpost Surge is a free territory conquest strategy game you can play online in your browser, with no download needed. Rule the islands one outpost at a time. Drag from your bases to send marching columns of tiny cartoon troops, capture gray outposts, and take the headquarters of four rival commanders: General Rook, Duchess Saffra, Marshal Jun and Baron Vex.
Camps, forts and mighty citadels train troops at different speeds. Watchtowers zap passing enemies, and rally posts send runners extra fast. Sweep across several bases at once for a giant combined attack.
Every map starts with a goal card, the HUD shows your share of the island, and your commander cheers every capture. Conquer 40 islands with three stars, from green meadows through desert sands and snowy coasts to autumn woods. It plays on phones, tablets and computers. Outpost Surge is an original game made by the GamesYap team. For army-building strategy, try Merge Marchers.
Yes. Outpost Surge is free to play in your web browser, with nothing to download or install. All 40 islands and the daily challenge are free. Coins only unlock new banner colours for your army.

Yes. It runs in the browser on phones, tablets and computers. On a phone you drag from your bases to a target, or tap your base and then the target. On a computer you can drag with the mouse or use the keyboard.
Expand early, then attack where the enemy is weak. Capture neutral bases to grow your troop production, defend your key bases, and launch combined attacks to take enemy strongholds. In Outpost Surge, you win an island by taking every enemy outpost.
Camps, forts and citadels train troops, each at a different speed, with citadels the strongest. Watchtowers zap enemy troops that march past. Rally posts send your runners extra fast. Capturing the right bases is key to each island.
You face four commanders: General Rook, Duchess Saffra, Marshal Jun and Baron Vex. Each holds a headquarters on the islands, and you take their HQs to win. Conquering map 40 earns the Island Emperor achievement.
