Age of Mythology: Extended Edition

It's definitely a product of it's time. It's a little frustrating, the enemies can sometimes glitch through walls and unpassable terrain if you build or put something close enough, but the sheer nostalgia value lets me keep it around to play on easy difficulty as something to fiddle with.

I used to play AOE/AOM as a Kid just bought it to Play again. The game is still awesome and I had as much fun as I had as a kid. Wish they still make games like these.

Probably the biggest game of my childhood, caused a huge interest in mythology that continues to this day! Aldo one of the greatest strategy games of all time.

It's a classic! One of the finest and most novel RTS ever made, I still come back to it decades later!

[h1]Age of Mythology: Extended Edition[/h1] [h3]Great but Forgotten Classic RTS [/h3] [h3]Worth a try, even though it is no longer supported by its developers[/h3] Age of Mythology: Extended Edition is, without a doubt, a classic RTS from Microsoft, featuring an engaging story, memorable characters and dialogues with a very unusual but very appealing gameplay style that has remained relevant over the years. Unfortunately, this game has been neglected by its developers with the launching of the remastered version, overshadowing its presence on this platform in a very disrespectful and inconsiderate way. The monochromatic change in the game’s Steam library and store pages looks terrible and reflects the unjustified abandonment of this game by its developers. This title has many startup issues when using the new launcher. This issue can be avoided by choosing to launch the game directly without it. However, even then, the game may occasionally freeze in the menu or have trouble starting. Personally, I love this game and I find it quite enjoyable, these are the reasons why I recommend it. However, at the same time, I can’t help but acknowledge its flaws, particularly its technical issues and the lack of support for this version. [b]Gameplay: Enjoyable but rough strategy game with cool mechanics Art: Nice art style for its time even if some of the graphics haven’t aged particularly well Music: Unforgettable and very joyful soundtrack[/b] [h3]Gameplay[/h3] Age of Mythology: Extended Edition began as a spin-off of the Age of Empires series, aiming to freely portray the mythology of classical cultures, unlike its counterparts which had a much more rigid historical focus. However, this title has a gameplay very similar to the early Age of Empires games, featuring resource gathering, army building, technological upgrades, and an age-up progression system. What made this game innovative was the introduction of mythological units and divine powers. Each civilization features a distinct pantheon of gods that grants unique bonuses as well as exclusive units. Obviously, the game includes campaigns like its predecessors. These are quite entertaining and feature an even more creative design than previous entries, not counting the Chinese campaign from the Tale of the Dragon expansion. [h3]Art and World Design[/h3] The game maintains a semi-realistic art style for human units, environments and buildings, with graphics that still hold up reasonably well. On the other hand, the level design is excellent, and the layout of campaign scenarios is pretty intuitive. Also, the design of the mythological units and the game’s gods is quite impressive, featuring good art portraits and appealing models, although they can sometimes have a somewhat funny appearance. [h3]Music and Sound effects[/h3] The soundtrack is genuinely good and even after so many years of playing and returning to this title, I still enjoy the soundtrack as much as I did in the early days I played it. The sound effects are somewhat unusual, yet very pleasant. Considering the presence of supernatural creatures and abilities, this is understandable. Nevertheless, the overall atmosphere and sound design are great and very well executed.

Remeber getting a full version of this once in a cereal box. So many hours of my youth sank into reading every character's info, small wonder I ended up knowing a lot about mythology (Egyptian, Norse and Greek). Always appreciated to switch over to free-hand building unlike in Age of Empires 2. Also, you get to recruit mythological units and heroes with unique powers, you get to use god powers and the progression feels rather nice with unlocking new advancements along the way. Always a pleasure to crush my friends in a pvp game, exploiting what the game offers. There is no better sight than encircling and defeating a titan with 200 buffed-out priests. And the campaign – I do remember it being oh so funny when I played it as a kid. I mean, it still is. But better in old graphics. It adds so much to the feel of the era. No other game has ever made quite the same impression ever since and this one will always stay in my heart where it belongs.

my only real complaint is that the second half of the new atlantis campaign is really unsatisfying, but otherwise it's pretty good, especially by 2003 standards.

It´s a game of my childhood, so I might a little biased. The story telling is amazing, sure the graphics might be a little rusty, but the message and complaxity is mindblowing, especially when comparred with todays triple-A games

Esse jogo é incrível, eu gosto de tudo nele. Quem criou esse jogo é muito inteligente e criativo.

top, lembro de quando eu jogava quando criança com meu pai, sofri muitos traumas por isso, mas hoje é muito top
