Run An Empire

Category

Description of App

Run An Empire is a strategy running game that takes place in the real world around you. Conquer lands in the name of your empire by running (or jogging or walking) around them.

Unleash your inner warrior in a race against friends and neighbours to rule the greatest empire of all time! Run An Empire combines the careful planning of a strategy game with physical location and movement.

FEATURES
- Capture unclaimed lands by running around them
- Expand your borders (and your gold stores) by raiding neighbouring territories
- Reinforce your empire against local adversaries
- Put your territories to work and harvest coins from the land
- Design your own heraldic shield
- Keep a log of all your raiding runs

Run An Empire is not just for gifted athletes. Most importantly, strategy and determination are needed to be victorious.

MEDIA RESPONSE

Runner’s World: “Level up your running with a new app that brings tactical gaming to the real world.”

Accessibility Comments

Sadly with the most recent redesign of the app it has now become inaccessible although there didn't seem to be much interest in this app, I thought it'd be worth updating this entry for accurate reference.

VoiceOver Performance

VoiceOver reads no page elements.

Button Labeling

No buttons are clearly labeled.

Usability

The app is totally inaccessible.

Other Comments
