Total War: Empire isn't a new game — Creative Assembly first released it on Windows in 2009, while a macOS and Linux port of the strategy title, set in the 18th century, arrived six years later, courtesy Feral Interactive. Nearly 15 years later, players who missed out on one of the most critically acclaimed strategy games of all time can access the title on their iPhone or Android smartphone, with a redesigned user interface and optimisations that improve the experience of playing a turn-based strategy game on a mobile device.
