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.

Pros:

Great gaming mechanics and incredibly addictive

Cons:

Would love to see more interaction with other players

First of all, really great idea and nice app. Just spent two hours walking around the city trying to cover as many hexes as possible – I am on a good way to bronze age now, to capture the castle that's on the tile my apartment is on. However, just a few hours into the the game I have gone from "800" gold per tile visited to "242 000". Given this rapid advancement I wonder how the game will keep the balance and motivation once I play for days and weeks. Features I would like to see: - Leaderboard/ ability to "follow" friends - Group runs (pair up with friends and run together, for every tile visited together get some extra goodie) - Offline Apple Watch integration

@michael_froehlich Hi Michael - we're working on a number of features very similar to what you suggest. Look out for them in the coming months, and we'll hope to get your feedback.

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.

Pros:

Sooooo fun and addictive!

Cons:

Addictive!
