## About Empires Apart

Empires Apart is a free-to-play strategy game developed by DESTINYbit and published by Slitherine Ltd., set in medieval times. Released in 2018, it challenges players with fast-paced real-time combat across six unique civilizations, each featuring civilization-specific passives and hero units that play completely differently from one another. Players highlight the modular civ customization as a significant source of replayability, while the fast-paced gameplay incorporates modernized controls compared to classic RTS games. The experience includes puzzle-like challenges, skirmish mode with AI difficulty scaling, and online co-op multiplayer with reportedly quick matchmaking. Reviewers describe the atmosphere as both atmospheric and contemplative despite the intense gameplay, and the architecture and unit designs receive particular praise for their uniqueness. Currently holding a 67% positive rating from 1003 Steam reviews, the game is not supported on Steam Deck.
