Pocket Empires Online is an Android-only MMO strategy game developed by Pocket Play which consists of real-time continual game play. When starting the game for the first time, users are given a few options to choose from including which faction – Dragon or Phoenix – to belong to, gender and lord’s name.
When entering the game you will notice a playing board that is similar to other known strategy games such as Age of Empires or Civilization, where building, researching, and harvesting can be conducted. This game is time-based so building and research takes a certain amount of time as does travelling around the board. Reputation, Honor and Wealth increase as the levels of buildings get higher, monsters are fought and conquered, fights against the opposing fraction are won and troops or monsters are sold through the Pocket Empires Market. Eventually, a character will move on to conquer empty towns or towns belonging to the opposite fraction that reside on the open map – in or out of the War Zone – and which will in turn leads to a character being strong enough to conquer the strategically put Strongholds that give extra advantages.
Having personally been playing this game since last April and aside from the minor bugs – that used to be solved within a matter of a few hours – that are inadvertently introduced with previous updates and new features, no real problems with this game have been spotted. For anyone who likes persistent MMO strategy games, this would be the ideal candidate for non-stop fun. Just bear in mind that getting attacked when offline is inevitable!
