Empire: Total War è un gioco di strategia che fonde una profonda gestione a turni della campagna globale con tattiche in tempo reale. Ambientato nel XVIII secolo, il gameplay si concentra sul bilanciamento di commercio, diplomazia ed espansione militare attraverso Europa, Americhe e India. La sua caratteristica distintiva è l'introduzione del combattimento navale tridimensionale completo, dove si comandano flotte tra effetti meteo realistici, culminando spesso in abbordaggi corpo a corpo. Le battaglie terrestri enfatizzano l'uso di moschetti e artiglieria, richiedendo nuove formazioni tattiche. Il gioco offre un'ampia portata strategica con sistemi migliorati per spionaggio e commercio.
