I really like the mix of earning points by running and by engaging with the game on the days between runs. It means that unlike tracking apps like Strava, I'm opening the game every day to invest my coins, which then causes me to think more about my next run, and motivates me to get out the door again. The best thing about it, though, is it encourages me to take routes I've never run before, and so I've discovered lots of back streets and hidden paths I wouldn't have otherwise found.
i really have enjoyed playing and conquering castles nearby
Fun game that allows you to interact with your environment and other local users, as well as requiring some gaming skills. Got me off the sofa And onto the streets.
For runners who like strategy games, especially those who get excited about conquests and all things medieval, this game is a must! You'll find yourself adding virtual territory, castles and income to your kingdom by simply undergoing your usual running activities and letting the synchronization with Strava do its work.
You start in the Dawn Age and then make progress across eras, adding buildings, conquering castles and earning coins which allow you to improve your empire. This is actually very addictive, as I even found myself changing my route a but so that I could reconquer a castle that I lost one day before. It felt so good! :-)
I have been using Run and Empire since it was available as a beta. The development team is highly responsive to identification of bugs and suggestion of new ideas. I expect the product to develop and improve rapidly as more people use it.
There is a great feeling when you go out for a run, come back and see what you can build whilst you are cooling down and straight away, want to go out and build some more. An app which REALLY, ACTUALLY gives me motivation to exercise is alright in my book.
Apparently more muliplayer features coming soon, can't wait!Lots of
I get massive gaming guilt when I sit for hours on end playing switch or games on my phone. Run an Empire is so appealing as healthy activity and gaming is something I never thought possible til now! I love it.
