Evaluation

Empires Shall Fall launched on February 19, 2024 as a complete turn-based tactics game with three story campaigns, hotseat multiplayer, and a full unit roster. After launch, the developer shipped two meaningful updates: Patch 1.1.0 on April 4, 2024, which added new languages and skirmish maps, and Patch 1.2.0 on November 16, 2024, which introduced Steam Workshop support for custom maps. The November 2024 update is the most recent developer communication on record. Since then — through June 2026 — there have been no further announcements, roadmaps, or hints of upcoming content. The only DLC listed is the game's soundtrack, which shipped on release day. The store description does not reference any planned expansions, seasons, or additional content. The two post-launch updates represent quality-of-life and community tooling improvements rather than a sustained content expansion cycle, and the developer has not signaled any further plans. The game appears to have reached its final state with the November 2024 Workshop update.

About this game

Empires Shall Fall is a turn-based tactics game set in a dieselpunk world. Upgrade your army and command your troops, then exploit terrain to eradicate your enemies with sheer power and sharp tactics.

The Great War is being waged between the Black Empire and the Blue League. For a long time, these two superpowers have struggled for domination. Take control of either faction in this turn-based tactics game and launch attacks to crush the opposition!

Inspired by classics, Empires Shall Fall uses a grid-based map with easy-to-learn controls. Use the terrain to your advantage by strategically moving units across the board. Choose your position — will you join the aggressive, war-waging Black Empire, or support the Blue League’s holy conquest?

Features:

  • Non-random combat.

  • A wide range of unit types, from hardy foot soldiers to powerful tanks.

  • Challenging boss fights that will put your tactical skills to the test.

  • Hotseat multiplayer that lets you challenge your friends on one device.

  • Three story campaigns with hand-designed levels to ensure you’ll need to use both brain and brawn to succeed.

  • Unit upgrades with special skills and weaknesses.
