The mobile version of the critically acclaimed strategy game Total War: Empire finally got a release date.
Publisher Feral Interactive revealed that Total War: Empire will launch on Android and iOS this November 21. It will carry a price tag of US $19.99.
Total War: Empire is one of the most ambitious entries in the Total War franchise. The fifth installment in the series, it first came out as Empire: Total War on PC in 2009. It's one of the best PC single-player games of all time with a playscore of 8.8
The game blends large-scale empire management with tactical, real-time battles. Both on land and sea.
Players also got the chance to lead one of eleven historical factions. These included Britain, France, and Prussia as they navigate the complex political landscape of the time. At the same time, they must manage resources and strategically deploy forces to defend or expand their empires.
The game’s setting is inspired by a period of rapid scientific and technological advancement. It also introduces players to innovations that altered warfare. These included the early industry, artillery improvements, and gunpowder weaponry.
One of the highlights of Total War: Empire is its Grand Campaign. It challenges players to expand their influence across three continents: Europe, America, and India. As they forge alliances, manage resources, and build armies, they’ll also engage in real-time battles.
Naval combat also plays a critical role. This means players can command powerful fleets in real-time and use their dominance at sea to support military campaigns. As well as establish, defend trade routes, and secure their foothold in the Americas and other colonies.
In addition to the Grand Campaign, Total War: EMPIRE on mobile includes the “Road to Independence” episodic mini-campaign.
Road to Independence follows the American Revolution in a narrative-driven mode. Players can take control of key historical figures and lead their armies through critical moments of the revolution.
Meanwhile, a separate “Warpath” expansion, is slated for a post-release update as an in-app purchase, Feral added.
