Great and timeless game. great starter point for RTS in general

This is a solid polish of the original, and I think I prefer the game's time period far more than that of any other entry in the series. The sound design is still some of the greatest of all time, and the music is fantastic.

True to the series though, the difficulty can be brutal sometimes and the first campaign of the tutorial can take up to several hours per mission depending on how you play. The only saving grace is that this makes it extra satisfying to wipe an enemy from the map and salt the earth they built on. The enemies are programmed to constantly harass you and, once again, almost every campaign mission is a constant battle against attrition.

This game also has the single worst pathfinding of any RTS I have ever played. That's not hyperbole. I was like, 11, when I played the original, and I can't recall this aspect well, but apparently this is an improvement. I'm hard pressed to acknowledge that though because they can effectively rebuild the game from the ground up but they can't solve the problem of constant traffic jams, or units stuck on corners. I read the reviews saying this exact thing, but imagined that maybe it had been a developmental oversight that got patched. Nope.

I recommend the game because it's a classic and a very solid foundation, but keep in mind that you're gonna run into some hangups.

AWESOME !

I was searching for few days for the original AOE 1 from 1997. I saw this remastered version, but I thought it is something enhanced. It is the original version, but with much better graphics and so much more

ALL THE FUN

#34 Game in my Pile-of-Shame Challenge!

Quiet a cool Remaster. Sadly it did noot hook me as much as it did when i was a lil kiddo. Either way, still a really nice game, and would rather play this instead of the old one from back than, in case i do wanna play AoE on a cozy chill sunday!

If you liked any Age of Empire Game, you will like this one as well. Easy as that.

Still one of my all time favorite games

The old classic remake of one my favorite games. And just the way I like it, my units follow my order locations across the map just like an outdated GPS device, they're all over the place.

Even with a fresh coat of paint, it reminds me the good ol days. If your a fan of the aoe series give this a try.
