Empires Apart Reviews

Honestly, this game is a little bit of fun, but the graphics are... odd to say the least, the factions are okay, but there are lots of little things that combine to become a large problem. Units seem to move a bit slowly across the map, its not always clear what each does, and after you tell a Villager to build several things, you have to manually click the X in order to de-select the build menu instead of being able to hit the X like any other RTS game. Also for some reason when you have a Priest pick up a Relic, you have to wait till he gets it, then issue another order to him so he walks it back to the Temple, which means you basically have to babysit the Priests. All of this combines to poor optimization. All things considered the only thing I think this game is good for, especially now after I've heard the Devs have abandoned the game, is for those who are achievement hunters. Otherwise there are tons of better RTS games that do the same thing, but with much better and more pleasing aesthetics and graphics. It is unfortunate.
