✦ AI summary
Oriental Empires is praised by players as a fresh and addictive strategy game with an engaging diplomatic system, accessible UI, and realistic mechanics that teach genuine strategic concepts, though some note that controls can feel clunky at times. The game appeals to those seeking deep civilization-building with significant freedom and tactical battles, and players consistently recommend it as worth purchasing.
This game should get an Oriental Empires 2. We want more DLCs. This is by far one of the newest and freshest additions to strategy games. The diplomatic system lets you offer money, exchange prisoners, settlements, armies, and more. You have to expand and grow your settlements while keeping the population happy. The game is incredibly addictive, yet still feels realistic. It belongs among the greats like Age of Empires 2 and IV, Command & Conquer Generals: Zero Hour, and even Chess. I feel like I now understand strategic ideas I didn’t before, such as succession and the importance of leadership.3 found this helpful
Oh gods I love games that give you this much freedom to just building a little nation from nothing with so much freedom and without a complex UI and menu system. It's a lot of fun1 found this helpful
Very well worth it.
It's a fun game to play, challenging too which is ideal.
This game can feel a bit clunky to control, but it is a decent simulator civ for the starting period of ancient China (and Mongolia). Battles can be really tactical when the battlefields become big.
good game
