Our take on Fantasy Empires
Combat shifts from the strategic map to an overhead tactical screen, where battles play out in real time.
What is Fantasy Empires?
Lead a kingdom in a Dungeons & Dragons setting and expand it by forming alliances and defeating rival kingdoms.
A computer Dungeon Master mediates gameplay. Choose from 20 computer-controlled opponents, with up to four adversaries in a game. Interact with humans, elves, orcs, dwarves, humanoids, and the undead; command troop types, deploy special forces, and send heroes on quests. Construct buildings and fortifications while using diplomacy with rival characters. When combat begins, play switches from the strategic map to an overhead tactical screen with real-time action.
