Feb 29, 2020I just loved it. with warcraft 2, best realtime strategy ever. The 2D graphics looked much better then 3D in that time and even longer. Good campaings and great multiplayer on local network.

May 1, 2020Along with its first installment, the best 2D strategy games I've ever played in my life. For some reason, I do not know if due to age or the novelty of the genre at the time, none has impacted me as much as these. Without a doubt, a game that has marked an era and that most games of this style try to take as a reference. Although they only try. Impressive in its gameplay. 10/10 fully recommended.

Sep 24, 2020There isn´t much to say in terms of Age Of Empires II: The Age Of Kings. It is the best RTS game to date and has its fanbase since 1999. Everything about this game is just perfect and iconic. An inspiration for all the real time strategy follow ups. A must have!

Sep 26, 2020The Age of Kings version was a very big improvement over the first AOE. Significant improvement in game mechanics, gameplay and resource management.

Aug 30, 2020Great game. Just unfortunate that it hasn't become evergreen and turned into a competitive game franchise like League of Legends or World of Warcraft. At least not yet.

Feb 27, 2021Spend so many hours playing this game. Still remember learning to go online with a 56k to look at the official website for the things you could expect in the game when it would release. Timeless graphics and sounds. Also liked the map editor that came with it. Happy there is still an active online community.

May 17, 2021One of the few games that really deserve the naming as a masterpiece. I enjoyed AoE 1, but I cant even guess how many hours I have played 2. It is both equally good for RTS veterans and players that are new to the genre. The story offers a lot, the game is well balanced and is simply a stunning classic.

Sep 28, 2021Best RTS game of all time. Period. ;) Seriously this game has everything you ever wanted in an RTS game. The graphics may not be up to date anymore but since it's 2D it doesn't grow old as fast as 3D titles do. (look at 3D games of that time and you know what I mean ...) The gameplay is just awesome, because it has

Sep 27, 2021Probably the best RTS ever made. They really caught thunder in a bottle with this RTS. Everything is just designed perfectly, I would still continue playing it in multiplayer to this day, if it wasn;t for the remasters. What a game from the golden era of PC games, they don't make them like this anymore!

Feb 21, 2022One of the best games in my life. How much time I spent in it - just do not count.
It still remains the standard of the genre for me. -

Sep 6, 2022This very game is still pretty much playable 23 years after its release. Find me a game that could boast the same. Simple, but amazing strategy

Aug 23, 2023I spent many, many hours playing this game as a child. I was so young when i first played it that i didnt even know what i was supposed to do, and i just collected materials and builded a nice city lol Many years later, i would play online regularly, and discovered that i suck at the game, and then abandoned it.

Aug 28, 2023The best RTS game. I'm not fun of the genre but this game is fan and not boring late game as the most of RTS games

Simply an awesome game - great in historical imagery, solid in sound and game play, and a lot of fun to play. The Age of Kings deserves its title.
-
It’s not a significant improvement as far as gameplay and graphics, but it does help further the claim of AOE as a solid gaming title and a quality multiplayer game. The originality may be gone, but the idea lives on.
-
I never got into the original game, yet I find AoE II enchanting. The sheer depth of the technology tree and evolution of the civilisation are always a surprise. I particularly like the intuitive logic that makes battles more tactical.
