In OGame you can choose between three classes to find the gaming style which suits you best. Each class has a different focus, whether resource production, combat or research, as well as a unique class of ship: Crawlers for the Collector, Reapers for the General, and Pathfinders for the Discoverer. Also choose one of four different lifeforms: - Exploit the Humans’ varied and balanced skill set, and search the cosmos for other lifeforms. - Play the curious Kaelesh, a species specialised in exploring the universe. - Harvest your resources more effectively than anyone else as leader of the Rock’tal. - Lead superior fleets into battle with the Mechas and take advantage of their artificial intelligence.

OGame's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
