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.
