🎮Gameplay: The game has a strategy based gameplay system and is all about PVP, there are a few playable mode such as 1v1, 2v2 and a Challenge mode “Corrupted Alter”.

Doing battle awards different kinds of Chests if you win, you can use Keys to open those chests and the better the chest the more keys you would need to open them… simple isn’t it.

The game also offers a ranking system based on how good you are at the game with different “Leagues”… the higher you are the harder it is to progress and the more challenging and experienced the players you face become.

As you create your army when fighting you can choose one of multiple “Guardians” as your Leader, they all have different kinds of abilities and powers to be used strategically in battle, Every guardian has two abilities at their that cost “mana/stamina” to use in battle which.

Cyrus is great to be used with Cavalry units reducing their deployment time by 50%.

- The first ability makes all units charge a certain target at 40% speed and with 10% reduced damage taken (Cavalry units charge faster).

- The second ability summons 4 elephants which one of them is Cyrus’s own Elephant that is stronger and bugger than the rest, also reducing MP recovery by 75% time.

Caesar is one of the starting guardians the game will offer you and works perfectly with Roman units in battle boosting their attack damage by 10% that makes him a great starter guardian.

- The first ability is basically a multi-rock catapult spam! (Works great in buildings and groups of units).

- The second ability is “Heroic Presence” this ability has Caesar showing up to battle and summoning multiple rounds of basic units that are inspired by him in battle (great for overwhelming the enemy and being a distraction as well).

The game offers multiple types of units “Factions” to choose from and build your team around, these units are different in many ways such as being Melee or ranged for example, in addition to that they come in five different rarities (Common, Rare, Epic, Elite, Mystical).

The Roman units are great starters, best used with Caesar due to his passive 10% Roman attack damage.

The Persian units are a fun bunch that have units using poisonous attacks as well as ELEPHANTS! They work well with many different guardians depending on your strategy and play-style.

The Norman units are basically descendants of Asgard (my own view), they work best with guardians such as Beowulf (HP increase by 10% for Norman units) and Odin because let’s face it he is who he is!

The Japan units are the coolest in my opinion, they have Samurai warriors, Ninjas that lurk in shadows and Shaolin monks! Do i need to say more? The Japan units work best with Guardians like Hanzo (offers 5% crit change to Japan units) as well as other units to choose from.

The Indian units are somewhat similar to the both the Persian and Japan units in some aspects, using stealth, brute force and again… ELEPHANTS!!! These units work well with the guardian Amaira (Increase dodge chance by 7.5% for Indian units) among others such as Kaal and Ageera.

magic units/abilities are nothing special to any faction, they are used by all and can be situational and strategic in battle.

There are so many units and abilities to find and gather as you play the game, most if not all can be obtained without the need to pay anything at all, just time and effort.

The game also offers a shop in game that can offer units to buy, equipment to craft as well as new guardians to summon, which all require materials and gold to get or craft.

And obviously there is also the “Pass” to buy, this offers benefits and bonuses depending on which Pass you choose to get (Not a fan but oh well).

~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~

Final thoughs: I believe this game is very enjoyable and fun, it is definitely addictive and looks somewhat realistic as well. I would compare it to games such as Clash Royal in style and gameplay in alot of aspects.

i give it a 4/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ✅ and i would definitely recommend those who enjoy strategy games as well as Clash Royal fans to give it a go.

"Conquering Kingdoms with the Greatest Generals: Road to Valor Empires"

"Hey Tap Tap Family! Welcome back. Today, I want to talk about a genre of games that I typically shy away, strategy-based, Tower Defense games , and others in that genre. However, recently, a friend of mine recommended a game to me that completely changed my perspective. It's called Road of Valor: Empire. Now, I must admit, diving into this game was a bit out of my comfort zone. I've played my fair share of strategy and tower defense games in the past, but they often left me feeling underwhelmed, with more negatives than positives. Yet, Road of Valor: Empire managed to captivate me in ways I never expected. Let me tell you why. First off, let's talk about gameplay. Road of Valor isn't just another pretty face; it's packed with adrenaline-pumping action that keeps you on the edge of your seat. Whether you prefer to go solo or team up with a friend in duo mode, there's never a dull moment. What really sets this game apart for me is the use of cards. When you deploy your cards, you witness your army spring to life, engaging enemies in epic battles on the battlefield. Plus, the ability to command legendary generals like Cyrus the King who conquered the world, Hades, Loki, or my personal favorite, Amaira the Goddess of Beauty, adds an extra layer of excitement to the gameplay. But it doesn't stop there. Road of Valor offers deep customization options, allowing you to tailor your character's class, abilities, gear, and weapons to suit your playstyle. And let's not forget the thrill of unleashing all the guardians' special moves at just the right moment to turn the tide of battle in your favor. And here's the best part – it's not a pay-to-win game. Everything can be unlocked through gameplay alone. Plus, if you're not a fan of watching ads, you have the freedom to skip them and focus on the battlefield. Now, while Road of Valor has its strengths, it's not without its flaws. One drawback is the lack of a compelling storyline, which can sometimes make the game feel a bit monotonous. However, I'm hopeful that future updates will address this issue. In conclusion, whether you're a seasoned gamer looking for a new challenge or a newcomer eager to embark on your first epic adventure, Road of Valor: Empire has something for everyone. So, what are you waiting for? Grab your sword, rally your allies, and embark on the road to glory in Road of Valor: Empire!"
