“With Empire, Burgun and co. strip back the 4X genre to its fundamental parts, add a few twists of their own, and then chuck in some deck-building strategy for fun.” - pocketgamer.co.uk – 8/10
The barbarous tribes who fought amongst themselves for so many aeons are at last able to come together to found a wondrous civilization. Is yours the first of its kind in this world, or one of many? No man knows, but what all men know is that their Empire must not only survive, but flourish!
The world is full of terrible horrors, however, and they will wear away at your Empire from all sides. Natural resources have become more scarce. And perhaps worst of all, your powerful Empire has grown heavy and full of internal strife with its age. How long can you stand the pressures of survival before your Empire finally comes crumbling back down into the desolated earth from which it grew?

EMPIRE introduces the world's first "Deck-Building 4X Strategy Game". EMPIRE is a quick, easy-to-learn yet difficult to master strategy/tactics game. FEATURES:
- Choose from 3 unique emperors to play, each with their own strengths and weaknesses.
- Procedurally generated worlds mean that no two games will be alike. Will you find valuable mountains to mine military materials from? Food-rich forests that will grow your Empire quickly?
- A unique take on the deck building mechanism similar to those in Dominion, Puzzle Strike or Ascension. Your deck grows during the game, and it fills with both useful Action Cards, powerful Spell Cards, -- and also totally useless Strife Cards. Managing your deck is an important part of staying strong!
- Dozens of interesting tactical cards featuring excellent art from concept artist Gilles Ketting.
- A unique grid based tactical combat system. Use your Action and Spell cards to get the upper hand and destroy the enemy forces!
- Unlike traditional 4X strategy games which not only take hours, but tend to become slow and boring late game, EMPIRE is a quick, elegant knife-fight of a game.
- Fantastic graphics
- Gather resources and boost your economy
- Create a massive army and defend your fortress
- Designed by indie game design superstar Keith Burgun, creator of 100 Rogues.
We have tons of plans for the game in terms of future content additions, balance patches, extra game modes, and other support.

Version 1.1 is now out and really takes advantage of what an awesome game EMPIRE is. The new class system is awesome and adds some variability to the game. Plenty of great updates to keep you playing for days. Thank you for an awesome update!!! About version 1.0: "Easily one of the best 4X games I have played on iOS. Since I have picked this game up early this week I have not been able to put it down. The in between battles can be a bit slow, but it's a strategy game so it's to be expected. The player is faced with a ton of choices, each will have a big impact on how long you last. You will die, that's for sure, but each time I find myself living just a little longer. Word on the developers blog is that they have big plans for future updates too, and many additions coming in the coming weeks. The model of this game can truly be something amazing if the develop keeps the content coming and works to fine tune it. Back to playing now!"
Pretty good.

I find the difficulty level pretty up there. Perhaps I missed something in the tutorial...
Really fun

Takes a little to learn, but then it's a really deep and fun game that you'll play for a long time

I love strategy games, but have clearly missed something here. You would expect ramping difficulty. But frankly, you'll be dead after a few rounds. Guaranteed. I'm not having enough fun to continue, after a day.
Very fun

A very deep game with lots of different strategy options. A lot of care has been put into the creation of the app and the latest update added more depth to the gameplay.
Addictive

Great game! Can't stop playing, each attempt is a new adventure. Learn it, then you'll love it.
Well designed and maintained

Surprisingly thoughtful strategy game in a small short package. Combines elements of tactical and strategic play in a gloriously doomed setting. Great for "just one more play" even if it doesn't (and can't) end well. Updates add depth and variety.
