Meeting up with new players, forming trade relations or military alliances and going head to head with other groups in PVP is where the fun is at, unfortunately it’s a long way off and for new players jumping into Imperia Online the early game isn’t all that engrossing.Ĭombat similarly is a standard system: build up troops, choose your target and send them to make an attack, here the AI determines the victor based on overall composition of both forces based off their size and the different troops that make them up (combat having a rock-paper-scissors utility where certain units are stronger or weaker than others). Having played quite a few of these games progressing was at times tedious due to the same rote and file of the mechanics, for us we know that the real gameplay comes the longer you play and the more invested you get into developing your city, protecting them and ultimately expanding your borders. Players gather resources through quests, buildings or ransacking rival towns, then they must unlock technologies to construct new buildings and train up better units for their military. The gameplay is, unfortunately, relatively generic to the empire RTS genre and doesn’t diverge that much from the typical gameplay we’ve come to expect of such titles.
As a city is developed new buildings are automatically added to your city view, each having its own designated space and the art asset being added once the building is constructed with additional buildings of the same type being represented by an increasing number next to that building, so the artistic requirements wouldn’t have been too demanding, but overall it looks good.
Graphically the game looks pretty good and the UI doesn’t interfere with the game too much, the developers opting for streamlined and out of the way than anything particularly flashy. We had a good play through of the game to check out the core features and get to grips with gameplay, but with the fairly traditional direction the game takes as well as the tutorial based quests teaching us the ropes and helping us navigate the usual menus and features, it’s pretty easy for experienced RTS players to work out. The maps in these games are so vast that complete domination is impossible, instead players work towards getting the highest score by acquiring as many assets, resources and provinces as possible in a PVP environment.
#Imperia online game review free
We checked out Imperial Online from Imprint recently, a browser based free to play MMO real time strategy where players step into the shoes of an Emperor of their own growing empire on the beginning on their journey to world domination! Well, maybe not quite to that extreme, the game is still very similar to most other MMOs of this nature and classically have players slowly building up their own territory, joining alliances later on and then working with them to smash up all the other alliances and the poor individuals who didn’t think joining up with other players was important.
