Speaking of gameplay and game story, Empire Online offers what is probably one of the richest environments of any game currently available on the iOS. The character system provides plenty of room for customization and ongoing growth, while the myriad of objects that can be purchased or found throughout the game areas offer the opportunity for variety and nuance in strategy. The storyline, rich in challenging quests and interesting non-playing characters, ensures hours upon hours of gameplay without boredom--particularly when coupled with the experience of playing alongside other human beings that comes with every MMORPG.

In short, if you like the genre, you have every reason to give Empire Online a try. Although certain items can only be acquired using silver coins that must be purchased in-app, the game itself is free, leaving plenty of opportunity for addictive fun.
