Empyrean Rule - Rise of the Ancients 01

I’m no stranger to grand strategy games, from Total War to Civilization to Crusader Kings. I love the idea of commanding huge armies to conquer vast swaths of the globe. Of course, there’s always something missing from those games; and that something would be fantasy. History is interesting, but it’s always so mundane. Thankfully, Innofame Ltd. has our back with their upcoming game, Empyrean Rule – Rise of the Ancients.

Described as “Rome Total War meets Civilization and EvE Online in a fantasy setting,” Empyrean Rule – Rise of the Ancients is a skill based, real time strategy MMO in a persistent open world where players take control of fantasy armies and do battle in 3D environments. The game has the usual assortment of unit types: Light and Heavy Infantry, Ranged, Cavalry, and Siege Engines along with the usual collection of fantasy races: Humans, Orcs, Goblins, Undead, Dwarfs, etc.
