Our take on Music Wars Empire

Rather than centering on battles, construction, or territorial expansion, this strategy simulation treats the music industry as its main system. Its structure follows artist careers, release schedules, chart movement, touring, label acquisitions, and relationships between performers.

What is Music Wars Empire?

Music Wars Empire lets players manage one or several record companies, from a small independent label to a commercial pop business.

Players can recruit artists, create bands, release music and videos, arrange tours and festival appearances, acquire rival labels, and compete in the industry. Available releases include studio albums, singles, music videos, EPs, greatest-hits packages, compilations, live albums, DVDs, promotional singles, and mixtapes. More than 50 charts follow acts around the world, including digital streaming charts. Sales are influenced by population, economic conditions, piracy, seasonal patterns, and music trends. Personal relationships, egos, schedule disruptions, side projects, and genre experiments add management concerns. An editor supports adding friends, real-life musicians, or original modifications.
