Rising Empires is an epic turn-based empire building game in a fantasy setting where six races compete for control of all the land on the Surface and in the Netherworld. The six races have unique abilities, strengths and weaknesses ensuring that each game is different from the one before. Can you master both the long-lived Elves and the fast-breeding Krant?
The world of Rising Empires consists of two levels; the Surface and the Netherworld. While the Surface is the ancestral home to Elves and Humans the dark caves below is the home of strange creatures like Ende, Greenskins, Krant and Dwarves. Long tunnels connect the Surface with the Netherworld. Do you dare expand into the dark world?
Rising Empires feature a rich and large technology tree and loads of buildings ranging from regular marketplaces to those unique to specific races. Expand by building both settlements and fortifications, nurture and train the heroes in your armies and fleets and even better: design your own troop types and try to master the advanced combat system!
