Evony: The King's Return

The game costs nothing to install, and Google Play shows no ads in it. Money enters through in-app purchases, which sell game items. The publisher says you can switch this off in your device settings if you do not want to use it.

There is also an age rule. Under the publisher's Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, players must be at least 13 years old, even though the store content rating reads Everyone 10+.

You pick one of 7 civilizations, which sets the look of your buildings: American, Chinese, European, Russian, Korean, Arabian or Japanese. From there you run your cities, manage resources and research upgrades for strategic advantages.

Combat uses more than four troop types, from infantry to siege engines, and battles play out in real time on the animated world map. You can also recruit generals from history, including Abraham Lincoln, George Washington, King Arthur, Julius Caesar, Genghis Khan, Oda Nobunaga and Yi Sun-sin. Enemy generals can be captured and used against their own side.

Alliances add a social layer. Members talk by voice and text, with automatic translation between languages.

Alongside the city game sits a shooter-style mode in which you move, dodge, shoot and evolve weapons. It has its own Survivor Levels and uses flexible finger controls, with some puzzle solving mixed in.

The game first reached Google Play on August 9, 2016, and the current version is 5.38.0, updated on November 2, 2026. Eight screenshots on the store page show both the city view and the action mode.

The game is published by TG Inc., which maintains a website at topgamesinc.com, and is distributed through Google Play under the package name com.topgamesinc.evony. Google Play shows no ads in it. Spending is optional, and in-app purchases can be disabled in your device settings. Parents should note the 13-year minimum age in the publisher's terms.
