GameFuse features free-to-play online games on multiple

Totem is a real-time battlefield strategy game set in a
fantasy world that gives armchair commanders the ability to gather
and manage a horde of troops on the battlefield in strategic
matches. Select a Hero from the three unique races and build an
army to take on the world.
Totem's gameplay focuses on strategic troop deployment and
determining the optimal squadron to take into battle. Choose
wisely, as resources are limited and only the right combination of
troops and weapons will let you live to fight another day.
Competitive game modes from campaign to PvP offer different bonuses
and rewards. The
Totem beta starts today, November 14th, and is scheduled
to conclude on November 20th at 11:59PM PDT.
Dungeon Viva is a versatile social MMO dungeon builder for
Facebook in which you create dungeons full of unique monsters,
traps, and buildings, and then either ally with your friends or
claim dominance by mobilizing your own invading army of monsters.
Gather and manage resources to build labyrinthine dungeons, and
develop a massive army of monsters specialized in offensive or
defensive action. Team up with friends and declare war on
neighboring dungeons to rule the underworld!
The worldwide hit
DDTank gets an upgrade in
DDTank Champions, featuring the exclusive Spartacus set.
The whimsical turn-based artillery shooter lets players engage in
battles from 1v1 to 4v4, and a huge array of avatars provide
endless possibilities for customization. Keep the battles going by
upgrading weapons and leveling up via quests. Ready... aim...
fire!
Set in the 16th century Renaissance Europe,
Renaissance Heroes combines arena-styled gameplay with
high-fidelity graphics powered by the Unreal Engine 3 to deliver
adrenaline-pumping FPS action. The game offers competitive
multiplayer environments of up to 12 players, including popular
game modes such as Team Deathmatch, Deathmatch and Capture the Flag
that are familiar to FPS gamers. The
Renaissance Heroes open beta will arrive in January 2013.
