Celestial Empire

Celestial Empire is a city-building game set in Ancient China. As a governor, you plan and grow a settlement from a few buildings and peasants into a bustling city, while meeting the Emperor’s wishes and managing the needs of its citizens. Your cities develop across hand-crafted maps where nature and a fantastical setting meet, with seasons changing as the settlement grows.

Govern your city

Citizens’ needs grow as the population increases. You must respond to their requests to keep them from becoming unhappy, while developing housing and helping residents advance from peasants to craftsmen, scholars and members of the upper class.

Plan production and trade

You create efficient production chains and infrastructure to keep the city running. Choose places to extract natural resources and suitable plots for food production; careful planning can help your city withstand catastrophic weather and harsh winters. With the Emperor’s blessing, you can join trade routes, cooperate with other settlements and send caravans to trade resources and materials with friendly cities.

Gods and demons

Building positive relationships with the gods can bring blessings and miracles that help your cities grow. The supernatural also has a darker side: demons spread sorrow and fear among your citizens.

Research and development

Research technologies across multiple tiers to unlock new opportunities. Build up your city one structure at a time, upgrade housing and meet citizens’ needs as your settlement expands.
