Idle Empires 12+

Already, I loved the concept of the game straight away. The idea of having to make a kingdom from a capitalistic standpoint but do anything to not have a revolution is unique for an idle type of game. I can appreciate the pixelated characters and how they have varying standpoints on your actions. You have the Miner, who wants their house back; the factory woman, investing into the capitalistic market after you change her business; and the pigs, because of course no monarchy is properly established without pigs overtaking a farm. The jokes within the game are at such a messed up level that it’s hilarious and fun to play along with. I definitely recommend this game for when you need a time consumer or you just want a good game to use a bit of strategy to progress. Another thing I mainly love is how watching ads now have a lot more of a pay off than any other games, and that’s the main reasoning on why I will watch them. This game is appealing to play whenever you have the time.

Side Note: My gosh, I love your little nod to Animal Farm with “Four legs good, too legs bad.” That honestly made me so happy to see that in a game like this. Keep up the good work!

I know it’s “just a game” but there’s truth in fiction. And the reason this is funny is because it’s true. Our leaders create demand for things we don’t need. They tell us the other guy over there is dangerous because he looks different. Our leaders attack other people and when those people react, we’re told that they hate us and want us to die.

At the end of the day, everyone was doing fine but then a few people decided they need more power, more wealth, more, more, like some kind of mental illness. So they started getting more by any means, and each time people start to be filled with unrest, they figure out some new way to placate or distract us.

So the game is cute. The poor steward is trying to bring sanity back at every turn, but it doesn’t take long to see this cute little pixelated king is power mad and full of greed. It’s a good game. Well done.

As said, this game is quite enjoyable, I love the artwork and the chatter between the characters. My only gripe with this game is how non-idler it is, it requires almost full attention to advance since you're fighting against the clock once your unrest grows.

And the rewards for the tournaments are really annoying as well. When you get promoted but can't place out of 5th place in the next tier, you get terrible rewards. Why would I want to spend 2 days on a tournament only to get 100 alien credits when I could get 200 credits, a chest and 15 diamonds for a 1 day tournament. It really makes me not want to advance when the next tournament takes longer and is too difficult to get rewards comparable to the previous tournament currently. This just causes me to play cautiously and time warp before advancing to first place in the tournament.

All in all it is really enjoyable, but these are issues that I would hope get looked over a bit, other idlers don't require as much attention as this, and those with tournaments(TT2 for example), have it figured out pretty well.*
