Empire Live crosses action with real-time strategy. There are also RPG elements. The video game is made in a medieval fantasy setting. It has 3D low-poly graphics in a cartoon style. This indie project can be played both alone and with friends online. Each player directly controls their character using the mouse and keyboard. The camera is located behind the hero. The protagonist can run quite quickly, build objects, hunt, collect materials and use spells. Spells are used not only to destroy opponents, but also to extract resources. You can hire peasants to let bots do this work.

In EL, buildings are placed ready-made – you only need to indicate their place on the location. Buildings are needed to create a full-fledged army. And an army is needed to defeat one of the bosses that are located throughout the map. Various bonuses are given as a reward for destroying the bosses. To completely complete a location, you need to defeat all opponents and destroy the enemy command center (then the enemies will not be able to respawn). You can navigate the terrain using a compass. This title has a change of day and night. With the onset of darkness, the viewing radius decreases, and mobs become stronger. The indie game has a leveling up. The magician earns experience and gradually gets new spells.
