Browser based MMO titles don’t have the best reputation in the industry, mainly down to the slew of low quality titles that get released week after week. However there are some diamonds in the rough and MMOAttack have highlighted some of the very best games for our top browser MMORPG games in 2013 list.
10. Marvel: Avengers Alliance
Marvel: Avengers Alliance doesn’t exactly set new boundaries for the browser-based MMO genre but it’s still a title worthy of a spot in our best MMORPG games in 2013. Players create a team of their own Avengers from a list of popular Marvel characters and then battle with endless waves of villains. It doesn’t really offer much in the progression or story department but if you’re after a quick combat fix, Marvel: Avengers Alliance could be the game for you.

9. Clone Wars Adventures
It’s a Star Wars browser MMO, need I say more?
