      Technically it’s a couple of Tencent’s subsidiaries, TiMi and Level Infinite, but yeah. Disappointing that World’s Edge gave the licence to develop a game in their beloved franchise to a company that was always going to produce unplayable crap.

    It is genuinely hard to describe just how bad this is. I did the best job I could of my own review over on the official Age of Empires forums. Its worst sin is probably the simple fact that it barely even feels like a game where you make choices. You just click what it tells you to do.

    It’s telling that they don’t have an official subforum for this game, although there is one for AoE1, 2, 3, and 4, and Age of Mythology. They do have a Discord, and I recently noticed on there the official devs are desperately calling for people to give more positive reviews.

      I installed and uninstalled in 60s. It wasnt even close to an Age of Empires game. The cut scenes whenever anything gets built really killed it for me.
