Empire is a strategy and tactics war game, pitting you against the computer. The game is played on a computer generated map that contains land areas, sea areas, and cities. The object of the game is to eliminate the opponent by capturing cities and destroying the enemy forces. Cities once captured have production capability, and can produce units such as armies, fighters, destroyers, submarines, or carriers for offense or defense. Of course, the computer is trying to crush your forces and take over the world, as are you. Early in the game, exploration is most predominant, followed later by planned offensives and holding actions, till eventual victory or defeat. Warning, typical games can take as long as ten hours, and some people find the game addictive. The program keeps the game state in a disk file, and a single game usually takes multiple computer sessions. Since you can store the game on some cloud service (e.g. iCloud) you may also continue a game with the Mac version of Empire (https://apps.apple.com/de/app/empire/id1287139467?mt=12) and vice versa. Special credit goes to the author of the original game, Walter Bright.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Empire_mobile at none against World Empire's 5. Empire_mobile also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (12.1 vs 15.6). World Empire's advantage is ratings volume (512 vs 4) and rating (4.3 vs 4.0). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. World Empire sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Empire_mobile asks for nothing beyond the download.
World Empire holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: World Empire has 512 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Empire_mobile's written reviews are positive against 63% of World Empire's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Empire_mobile ships an update every 2 months, World Empire every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 7, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
