Taking London
A love letter to old-school browser-based RTS MMOs – with charming nostalgic pixel graphics, a dash of political satire, and tonnes of strategic tension. Build your empire, face off against other players, and take what’s yours in true British imperial style: by dominating the map.

About the game
Inspired by classics, re-imagined for today
You start out as a rising member of Parliament — until you realize your party only governs for the same old crowd. Broken promises, shelved reforms, silenced voices. When the system shuts you out, there’s only one way forward: start over. Off the grid. Out of reach of the rules. If they won’t listen to your proposals… maybe they’ll listen to your armies.
Taking London is a slow-burn RTS MMO where you begin with a small village and gradually
turn it into a powerhouse capable of rewriting the history of Britain - which you will using the British Empire’s favorite method: divide and conquer!
Grow. Build. Conquer.
Evolve your forces: Upgrade your buildings, research technologies, manage your population, and most importantly... train your armies.
Expand strategically: Conquer new territories to expand your cities, and found budding new villages in strategic locations to prepare for the wars to come!
Conquer the map: face off against players and NPCs in a persistent world with over 400 real British towns and cities, re-imagined in a medieval setting.
Play the diplomacy game: Forge treaties, promises, and alliances - and break them when convenient. Will you stand for order alongside the current government or join the revolution?
The RTS MMO you wished the browser games of old were
Created by someone who spent countless hours upgrading cities, waiting on endless timers, and dealing with unstable kingdoms — all while being bombarded with CGI ads of women begging for help...
Taking London began as a sincere (and slightly vengeful) tribute to the iconic era of browser-based RTS MMOs. But this time:
No pay-to-win via overpriced, overpowered in-game currency
No bizarre "MY LORD!" ads
Just strategy, skill, and sheer political chaos.
Key features:
Real-time city building in a massively multiplayer world
Tactical PvP and PvE combat - fight with or against NPCs, with or against other players!
Dynamic diplomacy and alliances
Quest-driven progression system with an endgame influenced by the actions of other players
Experience a scale map of Britain in a charming pixel art aesthetic
Cross-platform multiplayer - Windows and Linux/SteamOS currently supported with more on the way!
