Goodgame Empire is a great free online attack and defend browser based MMORPG multiplayer game. You will be given a piece of land which you will need to turn into a powerful kingdom then possibly a town. The graphics in this MMO are so nice and polished that you can zoom close enough to characters and see their face details. This is a great game to build alliances, create towers that can be used for defense and production as well as creating some enemies.
Once you start off with your land the first step is to create an army in order to defend the town you will be creating. You will be building necessary thing that will produce resources and housing for the people of your town. Create farm, woodcutter, stone quarry, dwellings, and houses for your beloved people. To produce an army you will need barracks, and siege & defense workshop, where you can train soldiers and construct war machines. Your castle walls are expandable by using resources and have watch towers, depending on their size. A ton of other buildings are available, such as the flour mill, stables, marketplace, and storage. You will be able to upgrade all of your creations for better production and defense against the enemy attackers.
On the fighting side the game, you start by building your defenses and soldiers to guard your castle. As soon as you feel safe, you can start building a raiding army. On the world map there are other player's castles which you can attack blindly, or try to spy their defenses before marching against them. There are also plenty of Bandit Barron castles, which level up the more you fight them so they are a constant challenge. Of course, you can travel further to reach low-level castles for an easy loot, but that will cost you more since there is a cost for moving your army. Goodgame Empire Strategy game is very awesome!
Sadly you wont be able to play in any actual battles but you get to do a thorough strategic planning before they happen, by choosing where your troops will attack between the gate or the sides, if war machines will be used, or attack in multiple waves. By careful planning and spying you can loot enemy castles with minimum casualties. In bigger levels you can attack and capture an area with resources and establish an outpost there, which you can manage like a second town, giving you the change to extend your kingdom. Alliances are a must if you either want to thrive in this warmongering place, or you just want some resources quick and/or need help defending your honour.
The pace of the game allows you to play at your convenience, without requiring your constant attention. As I already mentioned, its graphics are eye-easing, but, on the other hand, I consider the design of the gameplay a little tough, since I noticed that most of the buttons are small and easy to miss. Overall I would say that the game is fun, but -as in the majority of online free games- you will probably need to reach for your pocket if you want to reach the elite in a timely manner.
This game is definitely a most for MMO fans and the best thing is is that it can be played right from your browser without any downloads. Play Goodgame Empire today!
