Forge of Empires for PC

Forge of Empires is a F2P browser city-building strategy game that allows players from all around the world to easily build their entire civilization, from the time of the stone age all the way up to modern times.



With full support for city expansion, research of new technologies, diplomacy, and warfare, users can quickly develop a thriving empire that will survive numerous challenges through the ages. And since it is available directly from a browser window, it does not require any modern rendering hardware on a local desktop or laptop PC.

Forge of Empires for Windows PC is primarily focused on city-building and empire expansion elements that were introduced in many similar titles of this genre, like Civilization and Sim City franchises. But here, users are empowered to develop their tactics at their own pace, without the pressure of time or other players. A small PvP mode of play is present, but the game is mostly focused on single-player activities and online combat cannot take away from the user everything he has built and force him to start over. Social interactions between players are limited. There is no listing of who is currently online, and chat can only be done via the modest in-game messaging system.

However, since this is a F2P game, it does present to gamers extensive premium services and locked features that can be removed with microtransactions. Forge of Empires puts limits on the time specific part of the city can be built, some of the best buildings are locked behind RNG-provided Blueprints, and also prevents users to expand as much as they like. Purchase of the new lands sadly requires a premium unlock. The title can be enjoyed with free play, but progression will be halted with numerous premium walls or RNG item drops sooner or later.

Forge of Empires is well worth playing by users who are attracted by well-designed city and empire simulation titles, but aggressive F2P gating can put a stop to the ambitions of many players. Since it is running inside a web page, it can easily be enjoyed on any modern or legacy PCs with internet access.
