Emporea: Realms of War and Magic

Emporea: Realms of War and Magic a free to play strategy game that brings together a number of genres, and that’s playable only online.

There is a trend in the gaming world that is taking shape. Some of the games that you usually see on Facebook or other similar channels are now being ported to other distribution platforms, like Steam for example. The games are still connected online, and they still require people to wait for certain actions, but they are no longer tied to other accounts.

These games are also free to play, which means that you can technically play them without paying a cent, but you will have to wait. Of course, waiting periods can be avoided by paying money. Some games are more aggressive than other in this regard, and there is a difference between free to play and pay to win.

Games like Emporea: Realms of War and Magic are usually built for mobile platforms, meaning phones and tablets. That means that when they are brought up to big resolutions, like the ones found on PCs, bit the developers from Pixel Federation have managed to avoid this problem for the most part.

The game is incredibly small, but given the fact that most of the assets in the game are just 2D images it makes sense. It doesn’t take a lot of bandwidth, which is normal because it’s mobile heritage.

Players are put in charge of a new settlement, which they have to upgrade. Resources can be either generated from the city or conquest. It’s possible to raid nearby settlement, some of which are controlled by the AI.

It’s also possible to raid other players, but many of them are protected against this kind of incursions. The fights themselves are not shown, only simulated. This means that players don’t have to worry about strategy, just bringing a ton of units.

Since this is a free to play, building, upgrading, fighting, and so on takes. Time. For example, when you upgrade a building from level to another you can wait up to 30 minutes or more. The process can be sped up with the use of special crystals, which cost money.

It’s not a bad game, but it requires patience. It’s not terribly rewarding, but if you like this kind of strategy games, you will probably enjoy Emporea: Realms of War and Magic.
