Rebuild your nation
Rise of Empires: Ice and Fire
is a
free
strategy
mobile
game
wherein you can
reforge a nation
after a devastating invasion. Developed by Long Tech Network Limited or im30, this free-to-play title is a
massively multiplayer
real-time strategy
war game
that’s highly reminiscent of the
Age of Empires
series. There are key differences between the two, however, as this game quickly scales in difficulty the longer you play.

Is Rise of Empires pay to win?
As a medieval
war game
,
Rise of Empires: Ice and Fire
pits your nation
against other players’ nations
in a bid to win more resources and experience points. Your ultimate goal is to rebuild your fallen empire and in doing so, you will have to contend in the war. You must
train your army
and level them up to survive against the onslaught of your enemies.
There are also
unique
dragons
and
recruitable hero characters
to give you an edge in battle. However, you can’t just neglect your troops once you get these special units as their formation can still influence the outcome of a fight. To support your campaign, you will need
resources
and you can earn these by having your empire
start businesses
like farms the more you conquer the map.
This game boasts of impressive
realistic-looking graphics
and
real-time worldwide combat
between players, as it’s free to download like most mobile MMOs. However, the problem with this game is that it
easily gets harder
as you keep playing. Firstly, there are lots of
items that require you to purchase
them whenever you’re in a pinch. Afterward, the game mechanics really push for you to get more of these items.
Not F2P-friendly
Rise of Empires: Ice and Fire
start out nicely
but soon devolves into a
time-consuming game
that won’t really need much of your strategies anymore. The game is quite aggressive in getting you to buy its in-app purchases that it can be off-putting to F2P players. If you’re going to be serious in such a game, it’s recommended to just play a full strategy title.
