SAN FRANCISCO, July 10, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Kabam, the leader in the western world for free-to-play games for traditional players, today announced an Android release of its hit mobile game Underworld Empire on Google Play. Developed in San Francisco by Kabam's Phoenix Age studio, Underworld Empire is a social role-playing game (RPG) that takes players into New Metropolis, a crime filled realm where they will need to earn respect and money through defeating enemies and recruiting allies to reign over the most powerful empire.
"Kabam's Phoenix Age studio has created a phenomenal experience for mobile devices and we're thrilled to bring one of the top crime-based RPGs to Android players," said Aaron Loeb, senior vice president of Kabam's North American Studios.

Rare, Epic, and Legendary weapons and assault vehicles.

lieutenants with special abilities, then fuse them together to make them
even more effective.

players to earn loot and scale the real-time boss battle leaderboard.
