About Battle Room Empire
An independent game built around one stubborn idea: the most interesting map in the world is the one you're standing in.
Battle Room Empire is an independent augmented-reality strategy game in development for iPhone and Android. It's built by a very small team with a very specific obsession: real-time strategy that treats your actual surroundings as the battlefield — not as a gimmick layer, but as the map itself.
The game generates its worlds from real rooms: walk your space's edge and its shape becomes the terrain your empire lives on. On top of that foundation sits a full strategy game — eight ages of progression from medieval scarcity to futuristic energy warfare, combined-arms combat built on readable counters, and a roster that runs from villagers to dragons to war mechs.
Some principles we hold, publicly, so you can hold us to them:
- Honesty about status. Nothing on this site shows a planned feature as live. The roadmap says "may change" because it may.
- Privacy by architecture. Camera processing for AR happens on-device; camera imagery is never uploaded or stored. Accounts are anonymous. Deletion is self-service. Details: privacy policy.
- Strategy first. Dragons are spectacular and counterable. Purchases will never buy victory. Decisions win games.
