Rise of Cultures: Kingdom game in IOS

Build a City, Discover History

Walkthrough, Guilds, Tips on this special game

Our Expert Score

91/100

Rise of Cultures is InnoGames' refined successor to Forge of Empires, and it manages to fix almost every pain point of its predecessor. The game is a city-builder that takes you through the history of mankind, from the Stone Age to the Industrial Revolution. What makes it special is the cultural depth; you aren't just building 'generic' houses, you're interacting with historical figures like Cleopatra, Caesar, and Einstein to advance your civilization.

The strategic combat system is a highlight, moving away from simple stat-checking to a system where unit placement and timing actually matter. The graphics are colorful and inviting, and the social aspects, like trading and alliances, are well-integrated without being forced. While it does include typical free-to-play elements like timers and loot boxes, the quality of life and the speed of progression make it feel much fairer than most games in the genre. It's easily one of the best kingdom-builders currently available.
