{{Orphan|date=February 2009}} '''''Empiriana''''' was a [[fantasy]] [[MMORPG]] developed by Infinite Realms and released June 1, 1997. ==Gameplay== A player first creates a character from stock [[medieval fantasy]] archetypes and starts in the town, shown from aerial perspective and rendered in 3D. Here equipment can be purchased, training can be undertaken and so on, although there are no [[Non-player character|NPC]]s to interact with. Dungeons are tile-based and exploration is shown in first-person perspective in similar fashion to the earlier ''[[The Bard's Tale (1985)|The Bard's Tale]]''. Similarly enemies are not seen in this view but a picture of them is presented when encountered. Other players are represented on the map with arrows, but again are not shown in the main viewpoint. If the player's [[hit points]] are exhausted, they appear back in the town without penalty. ==Critical reaction== ''Emperiana'' was reviewed by [[IGN]]<ref>[http://rpgvaultarchive.ign.com/features/reviews/empiriana.shtml Review] at [[IGN]]</ref> in 1998. The reviewer was not able to recommend the game, given that the square-based dungeons and lack of representation of enemies and other players did not compare favourably with similar pay-to-play games such as ''[[Ultima Online]]''. ==External links== *[http://www.irealms.com/empclassic.htm ''Empiriana'' Website] ==References== {{Reflist}} [[Category:Fantasy MMORPGs]] [[Category:Fantasy video games]] [[Category:Windows games]] [[Category:1997 video games]] {{mmorpg-videogame-stub}}
