Final Fantasy XV: A New Empire

Final Fantasy XV: A New Empire is an Android/iOS free-to-play game developed by Machine Zone, Inc. (MZ), under the name Epic Action LLC, licensing the Final Fantasy name from Square Enix. The game is set in the universe of Final Fantasy XV and features an alternate story which focuses on the development of Insomnia as a kingdom.

Gameplay
The game features characters from Final Fantasy XV serving as guides to the player in developing and expanding upon their own kingdom of Insomnia.

Basics
As a product of Machine Zone, gameplay is similar to the company's other titles: Mobile Strike and Game of War: Fire Age. Players first engage in the guided building of a city, beginning with a Citadel and continuing with various support structures such as the outer wall, farms, mines, and stone quarries. As the player progresses, s/he must build facilities to manage war, trade, and the learning of new skills. However, each build or upgrade requires copious amounts of the player's time and in-game resources. Further, each must be built in a specific sequence to unlock the others; and upgrades also become dependent on this sequence.

Armies
With time, the player may also elect to raise one or more armies comprised of units in his/her city's defense, and may in turn deploy armies against random monsters or other players to seize their loot and resources.

Guilds
Players may form guilds to forge alliances in trade and war, exchanging goods, resources, and troops to collectively build strength and clout against other players. Members of a guild also receive enhanced resource rewards, and may receive extra assistance in completing their cities.

Reception
The game has been negatively received, as it reportedly uses Final Fantasy XV license for nothing more than to make profit and does not add anything new to Final Fantasy XV Universe. It appears to be a reskin of another game by the same developer and requires spending large amounts of money to be able to make any meaningful progress.
