    This blend of the old with the new relies too heavily on the old, while the new stuff fails to thrive. In its current state it’s buggy and lacks some fundamental requirements for smooth play we’ve come to expect from the genre.

    I’m fully aware that this game is multiplayer focused and the single player is more for practice and getting used to the game before playing human opponents, but the AI is terrible, and I would go as far to say laughably awful. If you are only looking to play single player avoid this game, at least for now, as you will be wasting your money.

    First no campaign. The game is focus to the competitive, but you need a good computer to make a fluid game. Even other indie games can do itFirst no campaign. The game is focus to the competitive, but you need a good computer to make a fluid game. Even other indie games can do it better.
    The game haven't visual variety even don't have enough wild life to hunt, imitates AoE2 very well except the new version of AoE2 HD have better fauna and domestic animals.
    The game is very limited by content.
    7 maps
    4 size map options
    3 Pop capacity options
    4 game modes
    Six civilization with unique game play... not at all, only 3 of them are very different.
    The dominate strategy is use the Mongols. At last in AoE 1 you can choose more civilizations with this strategy.
    AI is terrible and spent whole game making useless buildings which it deleted randomly later on.
    I'm not sure if the low poly graphics are for an historical RTS.
    Poor historical features, the game centres in be an RTS "Fornite". Only for fun.
    They have a French faction that even speaks French.
    Imitates AoE 2 so well that you ask yourself if was necessary play this one.
    Good day/night feature... but sometimes is annoying.
    Many players asking for a better optimization.
    The next time they should be worried to make a good game(more than rip off) instead pay youtubers as sponsors. Next time be more obviously, because they show the game as a new truly successor of AoE.
