Age of Mythology: Retold

Age of Mythology was one of the first strategy games I ever played, and honestly, one of the first games I played in general. Coming back to it in Retold feels like a huge wave of nostalgia. The best part is that this isn't just a simple remaster. The game looks better than ever while still keeping the charm that made the original so memorable. Seeing the myths, gods, mythical creatures, and civilizations brought to life with modern visuals has been a lot of fun. I also appreciate that the developers have continued to support the game with updates, adding new civilizations, gods, and content instead of simply relying on nostalgia alone. For longtime fans, it's a great way to revisit a classic. For new players, it's still one of the most unique RTS games out there, blending mythology and strategy in a way that few games have managed to replicate. A nostalgic trip done right.

Age of Mythology, pour moi, ce n’est pas juste un jeu. C’est un souvenir qui respire encore. Je l’ai reçu d’un homme que j’ai connu par hasard, au détour d’un travail de livraison. Un client au début… puis un ami, sans que je m’en rende compte. À chaque passage, c’était le même rituel : une canette, une clope, deux mots simples, mais vrais. Il avait cette gentillesse rare, celle qui ne demande rien, celle qui fait du bien. Un jour, il m’a offert ce jeu. ‘Tu vas aimer’, qu’il m’avait dit. Et puis… plus rien. Quatre mois sans connexion, sans réponse, sans signe. Le silence a remplacé nos petites discussions. Alors aujourd’hui, quand je lance Age of Mythology, ce n’est pas seulement les dieux et les armées que je vois. C’est lui. Un ami inattendu, un souvenir qui fait un peu mal, mais que je garde précieusement. Peut-être qu’il ne reviendra jamais en ligne. Peut-être qu’il est parti trop tôt. Je ne sais pas. Mais ce jeu… ce jeu restera toujours un morceau de lui Et ça me manque Assez pour que l’absence fasse encore du bruit Merci d'avoir lu ;)

it was ok, the latest dlc has completely broken the game. wont even load. have to uninstall and reinstall three hundred times, update everything and its still broken. so now i have to uninstall again and just try to reinstall without any dlc and see if it will even get past the loading screen. it was an ok game, its now literally unplayable. wouldnt recommend to anyone who understands the value of their own time.

得知这个人气并不怎么高的上古老游戏还在出新的派系DLC时，我还是挺惊喜的，尤其是新的派系还是阿兹特克——我最近刚好在读一本很大部头的中美洲考古相关专著，这下子寓教于乐了。想当初我上小学和初中的时候，是把《帝国时代3》和《神话时代》内置的历史背景和兵种介绍当作正经的科普来看，现在想想，我会走上成为世界史研究生的不归之路，这个游戏系列得负大半的责任！(╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻ 这个游戏目前我只有一个不太满意的地方，就是当军事单位组队出击的时候，队形实在太密集了，很容易互相穿模。你要是像素游戏我就不挑理了，但这在一个有电影模式的、建模挺精致的游戏里是个挺大的问题，每次我想打开电影模式找个角度截图，单位互相挤成一坨，严重的穿模都会让我叹一口气打消念头。如果可能的话，还是希望修复一下比较好。 不知道阿兹特克DLC的销量怎么样，我可是对继续推出新派系满怀期待。下一步是不是该凯尔特或者巴比伦神话啦？在游戏里上演卡迭石碰碰车大战，多是一件美事呀。

I have to pay to enable blood?

Já tenho o Age of Mythology Extended edition, essa nova versão é ridícula. Muda o design dos panteões, agora eles parecem personagens de jogos de celular e as unidades / panteão novos são só skins dos antigos. A ideia de god powers serem recarregados igual skill é legal e tal, mas me arrependi da compra e pedi reembolso. Não vale a pena comprar uma terceira vez o mesmo jogo só com skins diferentes. Facilmente poderia ser uma extensão do anterior com gráficos melhorados.

Even on the easy difficulty level, you will get rushed by the enemy AI, and no matter what, you will barely be able to scrape by. The AI "cheats" and knows where your town center is automatically, produces units extra fast, etc. It isn't clever to just slam the player with cheating AIs and it isn't fun to get immediately crushed before you can produce 5 basic units.

RTS with one of the best campaign out there! never play this game back when i was a kid, i was a warcraft/starcraft kid then. but damn isnt this game so good!

I played the original a lot as a kid. But I didn't realize until this version that the controls are abysmal. if it had kept the AoE2 hotkeys it would be better, but it's so clunky with two button commands. The god powers are fun, but the ones that would be good in a pvp match are terribly boring and useless in the campaigns. Oh cool I got locust swarm by default again, time do do nothing with it ever. The music was one of my favorite things about the original game, but the new title screen music just doesn't hit. If you're here for nostalgia, just skip on this.

I always return to it, it keeps one of my top ten childhood games current and engaging. if you liked the original age of mythology games but you wished it had a more fantasy/mythology focus or you just like to pay a rts game this is it.. I have fond memories of playing Age of mythology with my family. and hope the content keeps coming.
