Игра блокирует
После того как написал в чат о покупке ресурсов и воровстве в этой системе, мне положили запрет на покупки в игре!
Not the original game

Not the same
This game is not the same as the old version. Once again, the ad shows different than what you can actually do in the game so these game companies need to stop advertising these games one way and the game experience is completely different. It’s worse.
Boring game
What a waste of time , boring and stupid game
Why attach the AOE name if it isn’t the game
Growing up my favorite games were COD, HALO, Minecraft and age of empires… I’ve been waiting for years for a mobile game and this is a mockery of the history of this game…
Super disappointed
It is just another mobile game like Kingshot, clash of kings, puzzles and empires etc. not at all like the classics beloved Age of Empires. Just uninstalled.
Регион России нет
Ну это прямое доказательство, что данное приложение руссофобы. Украина есть, а России, страна, которая дала миру мировой язык, нет.

Not a age of empires game

Pay to win
I played for a year. There are a lot of fun elements, similar to Rise of Kingdoms. And i enjoy the camaraderie within my alliance. However, the game developers got greedy and introduced tiers 8 and 9, turning whales into krakens and making it impossible for free to mid spenders to compete (I was spending a decent $amount in the game and lots of hours per day/week). Even worse, they failed to change the one poor design element they put into this game, which is not having a safe space for your city from enemy marches. So every week in the weekly Golden Expeditions or Mightiest Empire, these Tier 8 krakens roam around in your territory, easily sacking your city destroying your troops and stealing your resources. It’s ruined what was a fun game experience.
Just Don’t
Don’t play this game. Not worth it. Trust me.
Misleading
The game is nothing like the original age of empires.
The mobile game is literally TopWar with different graphics. Almost Identical mechanics and gameplay.
This is an embarrassment and the developers should be ashamed of ruining the name of a great franchise

Scam
I was so excited for this game. It is nothing like the old PC version. Just a money grab.
Nothing Like AoE
Just another city builder trying to use the AoE name to trick people.
Wasted effort
Why not just make it like the original? You could have charged $30-40 and many would have bought it.
Trash game
Thos is not classic AOE. THIS IS A COPY AND PASTE COTY BUILDER NOTHING NEW NOTHING RELATED TO AGE OF EMPIRES
DO NOT PLAY
THE DEVS ARE LIARS THE ADS ARE DECEPTIVE AND NOTHING IS AS THEY STATE

This Is Absolutely NOT Age of Empires
This game has virtually nothing to do with the original Age of Empires games. It’s just a traditional base building mobile game with special characters you ultimately have to pay for. They could have ported Age of Empires II and I would have been happy to pay for it. But this is a joke of a game that involves you just making upgrades as your instructed to do them with no real choice. “Upgrade this now….now this….now this…buy this character to defeat the attackers.” They utilize some of the design language of AoE and sounds, but the gameplay is nothing like it.

This is not age of empires
I downloaded expecting age of empire.. not an anime wizard like game that mimics age of empire…
It’s Not Age of Empires
The only similarity this has with the rest of the well acclaimed RTS series is the name. Gameplay is not similar at all. It’s merely a Rise of Kingdoms clone with the same amount of paywalls, TikTok gameplay pacing, and microtransactions. Save yourself and don’t play it. Just find the actual game on GoG or Steam and play there. You’ll have a much better time than playing this cash grab slop.
Too impatient for this game
Honestly couldn’t get through the demo. Played for a half hour and it was still showing me
How to play. Way too slow of a startup

This isn’t Age
I’m not sure what this is but it definitely is not age of empires.
Gameplay, sound, art style - none of it matches. It feels like they just slapped the branding onto some white label game and called it a day.
The game might be fun and work but the low rating is because of what feels like a bait n switch

Not AoE at all
The videos and ads showed Age of Empires II gameplay and I thought they ported it to mobile which was exciting! Instead, they cloned The Lord of the Rings: War and others and took a beloved IP and made it something completely different. If you like those types of mobile games, you’ll like this, but it’s not Age of Empires.
Not good
The game is nothing like the original one. If you are looking to for just a battle game this might be for you. Not my cup of tea.
Not age of empires
The beginning walkthrough was way too long. I didn’t even get thru all of it before deleting because of how boring. And it does NOT play like Age of Empires
