The cyclical rise and fall of empires is the foundation of the iconic quote, “History is doomed to repeat itself.” From the ascent of the Romans to the collapse of monarchies, history has consistently followed this pattern. Yet, this historical cycle of nations rising and falling has rarely been explored in video games. A few titles that come to mind are the cult classics, Empire Earth and Rise of Nations, both of which are now decades old and some even unavailable on modern platforms. This has undoubtedly left a gap in the sub-genre, one that EPO Games aims to fill with their upcoming release, Empire Eternal. This game offers a modern take on the classic RTS sub-genre, utilizing contemporary hardware and systems to breathe new life into this unique theme.
