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

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.

Jul 24, 2023My childhood in a nutshell. Even today, more than 20 years after its release, I can say that it is one of the best games I have played in my life.

May 29, 2023The first game I played in the game room with my friend. From then on, I became fond of the medieval style.

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

Jun 4, 2022This game is a legend. We've all had our fun in the world playing kings, fighting other kingdoms and doing goofy stuff.

There are many civilizations, various types of arms, and high tactical strategy -
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. -
Jan 18, 2022One of the best RTS games. Economy-based strategy, incredible single-player modes, campaign, and a exciting multiplayer. Lots of maps and scenarios to have fun.

Dec 9, 2021I remember this being the reason to buy my first pc. It was always for me the reference point for strategy games.

Nov 3, 2021Best RTS around, full immersive, great graphisc and innovation with a dynamic sound

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!

May 23, 2021What I said for first aoe still counts here. It feels like a chore and I really don't find this enjoyable.
-
May 19, 2021I've spend so many hours in this game as a child and I think it totally worth it. Top gameplay with numerous factions, great campaigns and a map editor that you may lose track of time in. One of the best real time strategy games ever.
-
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.

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.

Feb 14, 2021Historically fail, good mechanisms and good graphics. A lot of propaganda and totally twisted historically draws my score down.

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.
