While Resident Evil and Final Fantasy received a visual overhaul, Age of Empires did not. This remaster doesn’t buff up graphics like other HD remakes. The game’s charming, early-millenium visuals are still intact. Fans of the original’s campaigns will be pleased with the new, fully-voiced exploits on the campaign menu. They’ve added 12 new civilizations so far and dozens of new maps. Forgotten Empires is bringing fresh content to the game with its new expansion packs. It has revived the multiplayer community, making it easier to dominate opponents online. Steam Workshop support is a huge addition that increases modding community engagement. Age of Empires II is a modern update to the series that made real-time strategy games mainstream.įans should expect plenty of new features that are well worth the price tag. That ought to perk up some ears and get the bloodbath started. Keep an eye out for increased map sizes and populations as well. This remaster by Forgotten Empires adds support for widescreens and newer operating systems. Despite no major release for the series since 2005, it’s still going strong with Age of Empires II: HD Edition. The Age of Empires franchise dates back to 1997. Age of Empires II: HD Edition is a modern update to the series that made real-time strategy games mainstream. I also managed to find a cheat which meant I could arm myself with cars that fired machine guns which while being fun in an anachronistic way ( The game is set round about the 12th century and never progresses beyond this time frame ) of machine gunning massive amounts of enemy means the game instantly stops being much of a challenge.
I awarded myself unlimited amounts of food, stone, gold and wood. I have to confess that not long after starting the game I surfed the net for cheats which spoiled much of the challenge. Not only that you can also choose several missions like embarking on a crusade against the mighty Saladin or unifying the Germanic lands. I certainly recommend this game for strategy fans in general and real time strategy addicts in particular As with so many of these games you start of with villagers chopping down trees, collecting gold and tilling the fields in order to build up the economy, technology and military might but you've also got the choice of choosing different races, terrain, landscapes etc which unlike several other strategy games are in fact different. As long as you don't cheat I got a demo version of AGE OF EMPIRES: THE AGE OF KINGS with a computer magazine and was so impressed with this that I purchased the full game.
