Addictive if you can put up with a few bugs

First of all, yes the game can be a little buggy. But if youre willing to deal with that this is so far a fun game.

Basically, you start an empire by setting up settlements. The twist of this game is to set up (or manage) your settlements you have to be physically near them. It uses your gps similarly to location-based ingress. On the good side it doesnt zap your battery but on the downside it doesnt seem to poll your gps too often. Thankfully they have a well placed menu option to resync gps.

Theres plenty to do even if you cant visit your settlements. From looking for and managing relationships with other players to gathering resources locally there are options to keep one entertained.

I do want to point out it does have time based features. For example, upgrading a building may take an hour. They have IAP to cut that down if youre in a rush but its not necessary.

Overall its a great game thats got me hooked and Im checking it a few times a day.
