User Reviews

Run An Empire is praised for its motivating, novel AR geolocation concept and engaging gameplay, with some updates improving the experience. However, recurring issues overshadow the positives: cheating remains a fairness problem, apparent lack of developer support, multiple bugs and stability issues, a paywall/subscription model, and dated visuals. The core idea is strong, but reliability and monetization concerns limit long-term appeal.

Pros

Motivates me to go outside and walk.
Fun, unique AR geolocation game with an engaging concept.
Good core idea with ongoing updates improving the experience.
Widely praised as one of the better AR geo-location games.

Cons

Cheating is a major issue; users get flagged and cheaters aren't adequately addressed.
Seems abandoned with little to no updates and poor developer responsiveness.
Several bugs and stability problems (login failures, black screen, GPS/tracking inaccuracies).
Subscription/paid model or monthly fee to play, or inconsistent free options.
Graphics/UI feel outdated or under-polished compared to similar games.

Recent reviews

I'm 16 and encourages me to run to help me get stronger. Plus has a fun game to it.

really good game, the UI is really done well, I did wish that it would have a pop up warning on your first raid that you need Internet. I accidentally lost 60 gold because of that mistake. I also thought it would be cool if other players could see your base of operations, and place a castle there. If a player managed to take your castle it would give the attacker more coins than a normal castle, and would force the player who owns the castle to lose a percentage of their resources.
