Empires & Allies is 'Clash of Clans by way of Command and Conquer', out on iOS and Android now
So says our reviewer
Zynga has launched its free to play multiplayer strategy game Empires & Allies on iOS and Android.
As we explained in our review, Empires & Allies can easily be summed up as "Clash of Clans by way of Command and Conquer."
That's no bad thing, mind. After all, we did give it a Silver Award, stating that it's a "solidly put together, entertaining midcore strategy battler."
The idea here, if it's not clear yet, is to build a base and grow an army of tanks, helicopters, and artillery to defend it. That's half of the game.
The other half involves getting into fights with other players and trying to destroy their base. You can send in airstrikes and rockets to deal the bigger damage while your troops nibble away at buildings.
As the title alludes to, you can also form alliances with other players to help each other out.
The other way of helping yourself out is to spend out on IAPs to speed up building times and acquire certain features instantly.
If you're into these types of games then you'll probably want to give Empires & Allies a look. You can download it for free on the App Store and Google Play right now.
