Build a Worthy Empire

Become a brave leader by building Persia from the ground! Begin with the early Achaemenid Empire and build your way to Turkish and Mongol eras by collecting resources.

Fans of Cradle of Rome will adore Cradle of Persia's similar gameplay but with interesting Middle Eastern history.

A Strategic Match Three Variation

Gather resources from a grid by clicking and dragging to connect as many adjacent squares with the same icons as you can. You must have at least three of the same squares next to each other horizontally, vertically or both to make a match. Earn resources from the icons on the squares, like food for each fish icon.

To complete each level you must make a match over each of the marbled squares. Watch out for chained squares that require two matches to be removed and other obstacles like walls and boxes. Earn power-ups like dynamite that will destroy increasingly larger numbers of tiles as you collect more dynamite tiles.

Between levels build your empire by purchasing buildings like bathhouses, gardens, wharves and more with the resources you earned. Read historical tidbits about each building as your empire expands.

A Historical Journey Packed With Excitement

This game will keep you busy with so much to do: race against the clock to gather specific resources, break all marbled squares and deal with obstacles! There are plenty of opportunities to strategize as you try to decide if dynamite or resources or beating the level as fast as you can is most important. Enjoy more than just an exciting game as you learn about Persian history.

Take a trip into the ancient past now and build Persia in Cradle of Persia!
