EA Sports is expanding its football series EA Sports FC. With EA Sports FC Empires, a strategic offshoot has now been announced.
EA Sports FC Empires is a new football 4X strategy game that can be described as a mixture of a football manager and the successful mobile title Clash of Clans. The good piece has now started early access for iOS and Android in Australia, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand, but sooner or later it will also be available worldwide and therefore also here.
EA Sports FC Empires focuses on the business side of modern football rather than the gameplay itself. You will be entrusted with the task of building your own club and making it a global model team. To do this, you have to prove yourself in areas such as merchandising as well as in the medical field, setting up scouting facilities and installing a coaching staff.
Anyone who has played Ultimate Team in EA Sports FC 25 as well as the mobile strategy hit Clash of Clans or even The Simpsons: Tapped Out will probably recognize various game mechanics and peculiarities in EA Sports FC Empires.
During gameplay, you can spend in-game currency to build your club infrastructure; In individual cases, this always takes a lot of time. The monetization of the game comes into play here, as you can speed up the time factor by using premium items. The buildings constructed then have other advantages in the game. For example, if you build a hospital on campus, you speed up the recovery times for your injured players.
The structure of the squad, however, uses elements of the classic Ultimate Team. You can combine and use different players, while also taking team chemistry into account. If you do well in this regard, there are various stat boosts.
On match days, you take care of the line-up and tactics while watching the action from the sidelines - just like in football manager games.
EA Sports FC is getting a new, more strategic mobile spin-off with Empires.
