Little Empire is a charming massively multiplayer online game for Android.
In this game, you're in charge of...yep, you guessed it, a Little Empire! It's a lovely-looking game, with funny medieval music and lovely, detailed graphics. In Little Empire - which the developers says is a cross between a tower defense and strategy game - you'll have to build castles, wage war against your enemy and, of course, raise the funds and resources that you'll need to do this. Money is called Mojo, and although you'll start out with a certain amount, you'll have to buy or earn more.
Gameplay in Little Empire is a little complicated. There's a very quick tutorial when you start, but from there on in you'll need to click around in order to find out what you need to do. The main aim is to build profit-making ventures to gather resources, recruit an army, kit them out and march into battle. You can play one of 3 main characters, each with their own strengths and weaknesses.
Little Empire takes a long time to get into. It's real time (unless you pay to speed things up), so there's a certain amount of waiting around for your strategies to take effect. There's also a strong social element to the game - supposedly, Little Empire is the first location-based 3D mobile game - and it's certainly got lots of opportunity to meet other players and share your victories and defeats.
If you like MMOs, and you have time and money to spare, Little Empire is a great way to waste time on your Android phone.
