Having opponents is a guised bliss, however much one would prefer to be left alone by this necessary evil. Opponents drive each other to make the best out of oneself, which is why people say the wise learn much more from his enemies than the fool from his friends. Keeping such ideas in mind, one may well have ascended to a higher attitude stance before fighting any competition in the game of Edgeworld.

Edgeworld developed by Kabam is a Facebook game which combines various gaming elements mainly concerning empire building, real-time strategy, military simulation as well as social interaction. This game is set against a sci-fi background of fantasy, which will take players into a fictional star wars in the future. All of the storyline starts from the centennial feud between the Cerulean and the Galactic Union. Warfare between the two sides has a long history. When the base of the Ceruleans is exposed, the Union decides to eliminate its rival once and for all. Yet dispatched scouts only return to report an abandoned city without a single soul of the Ceruleans, so the Union has no choice but strengthen its power while waiting for the occurrence of its enemy.

It is against the above back story that the game leads players into a futuristic world where various types of stations or structures designed with high technology are built, sophisticated weapons and cutting-edge science are researched and developed, and players as leaders make the blueprint of ideal city drawn in heart come true in the vast universe. With sci-fi style in the core, technological and mechanical imagination tinges the whole contents of this game, which is typically reflected from the in-game buildings of various sizes, shapes and designs. For instance, structures in this game turn out to be like hoisting crane, half an eggshell, water pump with multiple openings or triangular aircraft, etc. Besides, the in-game resources includes Energy, Crystals, Gas and Uranium which are supportive of the function of high-tech, rather than the usual food, stone, iron and the like. In addition to the empire building, another highlight is the war between rivals, which allows players to recruit, train, and dispatch their X-soldiers into the galactic battles.

So, if one happens to be a person of technology and mechanic, this game may be a nice choice.
