Torn is a massively multiplayer fully-responsive browser game, set in a gritty virtual world known as Torn City. Each day, more than 20,000 players log in multiple times by computer, tablet or smartphone to build up their strength, improve their position, or carry out dark deeds. Torn has over 1 million registered players—hardly surprising since it’s 100% free to play.

Torn City is the world’s largest text-based RPG. The “text-based” part puts the game in a bit of a niche, but in many ways provides a richer, more powerful and more entertaining experience than you get with graphics-heavy virtual worlds.

Why is Torn richer?

Because it has to be! There are no flashy CGIs to cover-up mediocre gameplay. On top of that, reading a game is active: you bring your wit, your imagination, and the stunning theater of your mind into play. When you play a graphics-heavy game, a lot of the time, you are just supposed to sit back and receive what the game developers cobbled together.

The aim of the game is simple, but there are many paths to success.

Create your character and make them strong and agile. Gather resources so you can take on bigger and more dangerous tasks. Make alliances. Stab people in the back as necessary. You are soon on your way to being one of the most powerful and respected citizens of Torn.

No Resets

There are no resets, so you can build your character to infinite strengths. You’re always competing against others of your age and experience, so the challenges will always stretch you.

Torn is not your typical quick fix game. It’s deep, it’s engaging, and it can become a life partner. The average Torn City player logs in seven times a day and plays every day, year after year.

Loyalty

Torn players are loyal because the game is free, addictive, accessible, and welcomes bright ideas for new features. In Torn, you can do much more than just win a game: you can help build a world.

Features

During your first 15 levels you can expect to commit crimes, train in the gyms to build up stats, unlock more effective gyms, start or join a faction, take part in faction wars, collect and trade items, invest in Torn City stocks, get into—and out of—jail and hospital, undertake agent missions, buy and modify cars to race at the track, get married, get a job, start a company and employ residents, take education courses, win big at the casino, play poker against other residents, invest in the city banks, shop for items, program viruses to unleash on other residents, read or write for the Torn City Times newspaper, buy multiple properties, travel to other countries and even hunt.

But that’s just the start of it…
