Much like the ever-popular
Clash of Clans
, Forge of Empires will have you start building your empire from the ground up.
Manage
your resources carefully,
plan
your building constructions smartly, and help your kingdom
thrive
. You can also compete in
PvP
battles to test your mettle against other players.
What is Forge of Empires?
Forge of Empires started as a browser-based strategy game back in 2012. It slowly grew in popularity and was eventually released on
mobile platforms
soon after. It features gameplay that is
similar
to the likes of
SimCity
and
Clash of Clans
while adding some of its own elements of
turn-based strategy
mechanics into the mix.
What makes Forge of Empires stand out is that it incorporates a concept of
continuity and evolution
in its gameplay. You play it just like many other city-building games, but you also progress through
various eras
during your time. You begin your journey during ancient civilization, but you will slowly make your way to
modern times
and even the near future.
This strategy game has all the
bases covered
, such as resource and building management, trading, R&D, and even multiplayer PvP—all these mechanics work well. There are also
special events
that give out nice
prizes and rewards
. Having said all of this, progressing through the game can
take a long time
unless you
opt to spend
a little to speed things along.
A good city-building strategy game
All in all, Forge of Empires is good, with
solid game mechanics
, and progressing through time makes for more
engaging gameplay
. PvP battles are there to provide a bit of challenge and change of pace. You're going to
invest
a fair bit of
time
to make progress, though, but it would be worth it.
