Empire: Total War is a turn-based strategy and real-time tactics video game developed by Creative Assembly and published by Sega. The fifth instalment in the Total War series, the game was released in 2009. The game, which focuses on the early modern period of the 18th century, was announced at the Leipzig Games Convention in August 2007. Feral Interactive released the game for OS X and Linux in 2014, and for Android and iOS in 2024.

Runs well on modern hardware.

Do you know how it feels to own the world and have 42,871 Prussian units across it? Euphoric. This game is an addiction.
A great game with huge potential for interesting and varied replays if you unlock minor factions (how about capturing the map within the Roman Empire's borders as Veneto?) Unfortunately, the Empire sorely lacks the updates and new mechanics that Feral Studio added in the mobile version. Obviously, no one will update the Steam version, but I hope we'll live to see Total War: Empire Remastered, where we can conquer the entire world as Malta.
Total War: EMPIRE – Definitive Edition is rich with world history and pivotal events shat shaped the world we live in today. This game offers challenges for beginner's & advanced R.T.S. players with a passion for history and historical maneuvers. I have always enjoyed Real Time Strategy games, and this game holds many fond memories for my friends and me.
