Your adventure begins with your promotion to governor of a province, but there’s little time to celebrate this great success – from now on, the lives of many citizens are in your hands. Ensure their well-being, meet their needs and expectations, and the settlement will quickly start to grow. More subjects bring not only greater opportunities but also new responsibilities you must handle to prevent potential problems. With such responsibility on your shoulders, you’ll quickly see that every choice counts and has its consequences.
The architecture of ancient China is art in itself, and Celestial Empire’s Early Access includes 120 buildings from the start. This makes it easy to build your dream city on hand-crafted maps featuring fertile valleys, majestic mountains, lush forests, wide rivers, and even a divine realm hidden on floating islands. The gods hold great power in Celestial Empire – their favor aids your settlement’s development and guards your citizens against the fearsome demons called yaoguai.
\nManaging a city requires juggling many tasks – from running production chains efficiently and developing new technologies to trading along the Silk Road. Celestial Empire offers a wide range of possibilities, and the challenges you’ll face depending not only on your city’s situation but also on external factors such as changing seasons and weather. Survive and thrive through harsh winters, dangerous fires, and deadly epidemics. Nature can be unpredictable, but with careful planning, disasters can be prevented before they happen.
Early Access is just the beginning, and the developers want players to be actively involved in the game’s further development – feedback and suggestions will be incorporated into future updates. President Studio expects the full version of Celestial Empire to be ready in about a year, with the development roadmap as follows:
\nCelestial Empire – key features:
\u25cf The magic of ancient China – hand-crafted maps and over 120 buildings allow you to create unique cities. Immerse yourself in the traditions, culture, and beliefs of ancient China, with a touch of fantasy.
\u25cf Your city must thrive – manage production chains, transport, and storage of over 60 types of resources, which craftsmen can transform into luxury goods for your citizens.
\u25cf Growth opens doors – develop technologies and unlock new possibilities for your settlement. Watch as your citizens evolve from simple peasants into skilled craftsmen, scholars, and prominent figures.
\u25cf Choices and consequences – every action you take has a direct impact on your city and its citizens. Meet their needs and make decisions carefully to ensure your settlement’s prosperity and happiness, while avoiding conflicts.
\u25cf Power of nature – changing seasons bring new threats, such as harsh winters, fires, and epidemics. Survive, adapt, and plan wisely to prevent disasters.
\nIf you’re ready to take on the challenges of managing an ancient Chinese city, Celestial Empire is now available in Early Access on Steam. The game is priced at $19.99 / €19.99, and a 12% discount is available during the launch period.
