    Empires Apart is both a good spiritual successor to Microsoft’s classic and a good game in its own right, delivering a very capable experience that successfully brings most of Age of Empires mechanics into the modern age. If you liked Ensemble’s iconic series then you should definitely take a look at this game.

    In the end, Empires Apart is a very capable game, but it looks surprisingly like an Early Access title. It does feel a bit like Age of Empires, but its focus on multiplayer and lack of content may put a lot of people off. If you liked the gameplay provided by Age of Empires, you should definitely take a look at Empires Apart.

    An extremely entertaining product if you want to play it online, characterized by well designed factions. Just be aware that if you plan to play it in single player offline mode the lack of a campaign or story mode could severely impact interest and longevity.

    Empires Apart is a good Age of Empires' clone in need of more content.

    Despite some technical issues and a skimpy single player, Empires Apart is an enjoyable and well balanced old-style RTS. If you are in search of a competitive multiplayer game, look no further.

    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.    … Full Review »
