    Too complicated and tedious.

    It´s the most amazing game I´ve ever seen. It is much more superior in graphics, context, and trama than any of the Age of Empires sequel. It´s just GREAT!

    FOD is the best game ever. I would recommend this game to those who likes chinese history. Much better than AOE. The drama is perfect. I hope a new version of this game would come out cuz i love it.

    Great! However the graphics could improve. I think it should have different side like Liu Bei (Shu), Cao Cao (Wei) etc and they shold have specail abilities and unit just like AOE that will make a lot of different!

    This game is based on a great time period with lot's of fun games, but this game is disappointing. Age of Empires series totally blew this one away.

    I played it. The graphics are poor compared to AOE 2 and the plot is even worse. Don't buy it!

  1. With a weak historical storyline and little in the way of good looking graphics, Fate of the Dragon is another RTS I’d be quick to shelve.
  2. There is a significant difference between the two games—"Age of Empires" is a lot of fun. "Fate of the Dragon" is not.
  3. An altogether playable, yet mediocre and average game in any sense.
