An OGame clone is a game that shares similarities with OGame (either in terms of gameplay, aesthetic, or even as a general game idea). It is most often made by other publishers, unrelated to Gameforge. These games are hosted on private servers, where you can also find Clone builders.

One of the first clones ever built was made by an Argentinian that used the nickname "Perberos", from there a French team continued his work and built XNova. XG Proyect continued in 2008 XNova's work and built the first Spanish speaking community, mainly focused on bug fixing and making the game as much similar as the original game. In subsequent years XG Proyect lead to other projects like 2Moons. The majority of clones and newer projects are based on Open-source projects, mostly built on PHP, JavaScript and MySQL.

Some clones offer unique features that OGame does not have, or features that were developed by the clones ahead of OGame. Some of them like the Auctioneer, Scrap Merchant, academy skills, extended Officers and Governors, and even gathering or distributing resources and fleet across all planets and moons, substantially helping players manage their empires. However, most servers do not provide support to their players, and the projects are abandoned to their luck. Some are unsafe to use.

See List of Clones for a list of such. Clones are used at your own risk.
