Fallos en el juego
No es posible que tenga tantos errores el día de hoy no he podido conectarme y a cada rato marca error de servidor además desde el reinicio tengo fallas y por no poder entrar a jugar perdí el tiempo de escudo y con ello muchas tropas por ataques que no pude parar por los errores del juego

Scam silent money grab
After spending alot of money, to raising my castle and all. My game was reset. All the money and most especially all that time saved up all gone. I had to end up deleting the game. It takes forever to grow and its very expensive and after all that just to be rest its unbelievable. That's. Money spent
Support protects hacker - CCPA Violation!
Loved this game until my account was hacked. Despite proof of ownership, support refuses to unbind the hacker. They’re effectively protecting a thief and allowing fraud on my data, violating CCPA protocols. To the devs: I’m initiating formal legal notice and preparing a summons for Riverside Court. To players: If you value your account and money, stay away. This company does not protect players from confirmed fraud. Fix my account or see you in court.
氪金游戏毁情怀
这游戏，一看到有腾讯的影子在，就知道是个氪金游戏，老套的战力系统，还有一整页的氪金活动，完全浪费帝国时代的情怀，挺搞笑的，作为端游天梯赛玩家和全系列玩家，看到出了个手游四不像，觉得开发公司还是抢钱来钱快
Soulless
No charm, no whimsy…
?
Why can’t I log in to the game
Fun, until…
The game is fun up until the point you realize that not only do you have to pay to win and the developers make changes only to force long-time players spend more, but they merge dying servers, forcing them to fight each other to make more money, all while the flow of new players dwindles. Don’t bother downloading unless you have money to throw away and don’t care if you see you investment disappear because the game has a shelf life and its expiration date is nearing.
Still not AoE
Still terrible
Meh
Tried it. Sort of like the original except for the dumbing down of everything. Just release the OG one or two. That’s really what I want.
Horrible Sellout
They licensed it out to tencent to make the game. It’s a city builder not the actual RTS we all love and know. Shame on microslop on this….
1 star is generous
I have downloaded this game multiple times over the past year, and every time I try to play it, I get an error code every time at the loading screen and it freezes at 99% smh please fix this broken game or get rid of it.
Tap to upgrade and wait game
This isn’t Age of Empires. It is just another tap to upgrade, wait 20 mins or spend money. Boring and pointless
Terrible
This game is a disgrace to the Age of Empire series. Seems more like a money grab scam.
gatcha game
not age of empires
Awful.
Tutorial is so long. The anime design is ugly.
Kind of meh
Feels like every other attempt at recreating an AoE style game for mobile. Doesn’t have the nostalgia feel. I don’t think the people who worked on this game were even alive when AoE was popular.
The tutorial advances you too quickly. You’ll get a lot done in the first 20mins and then it’ll slow to a crawl unless you buy things.

Just called age of empire for no reason
Nothing like the original game and is super pay to play. Unless you are dropping tons of money you will get trampled by people that do they are ruthless
Microsoft FIX YOUR GAME
Everytime I go to load into the game it says unable to download files from dynamic directory. I can’t even get into the game to play it for cryin out loud. Microsoft Fix Your Game!!!!
Sad
It was incredibly disappointing.
Bad game not the same of the original very bad game
The didactic dont stop it’s a very bad game dont try to download
Bugged out
I don’t know if it’s just me but I’m at the very beginning, game wants me to upgrade town to Hamlet but it’s stuck in a tutorial loop and it doesn’t let me advance. Was very excited about this game. I will change my review if I get a response and able to actually try the game out
It as advertised
Definitely not age of empires. That game was engaging in fun. This is something you just click and build a city like any other game. Epic fail in my opinion.
No Strategy
It’s yet another click things to click more things game. It has a look and feel of strategy but there is no depth at all. You click buttons to use powers in battle. You click buttons to collect loot. You do upgrades to your buildings and train units and those prompt you to pay if you don’t want to wait.
I can’t understand why someone doesn’t just make an ACTUAL RTS on mobile.

Es un fraude.
No es para nada la experiencia es uno pay to win, como el resto de los demas juegos.
Not real AOE
All we wanted was the original Age of Empire for mobile devices. Instead this is more of the same dull games that already exists in the mobile world.
Garbage and extremely misleading
It’s not the RTS we grew up with, it’s just another Wait-and-Fall-Behind or Pay-to-keep-up game. HEAVILY recommend you to avoid this “game”.
Not the real thing scam
Run away not the real thing scam
This is not age of empires
This is just the same city evolution game replicated thousands of times in the App Store, with the age of empires logo on it.
Fake
This is nothing like age of empires the pc game. Skip
DO NOT BOTHER
This game has nothing to do with actual Age of Empires. It is clearly a cheap knockoff that plays like garbage and uses nonsense dialogue that was translated into English by AI. Don’t bother.
Can’t even log in
I downloaded the game to play (use to play 4 versions of it on pc) immediately get hit by network error and pop up. I log out, then check my network (not on WiFi) then restart my phone TWICE! I re-log in after each time, but nothing but the same error message happens. I can’t even get to the main screen of the game.
Horrible from the start
This game opens with AI voice actors, I don’t think I need to say more than that. Shame on Microsoft.
Probably not what you’re looking for
Loved the classic rts version of the game however this is not it. If you like clash or games similar this is that with a skin to look like AOE. Hope decent mobile successor is made for the franchise one day.
I’m NOT waiting 2hrs
For some reason I have to wait 2 hours for a download unless they degrade that I will NOT be playing
Ewwwww
This game is garbage. I used to play it as a child and there is some bug that never lets you progress in the very beginning. I wanted childhood nostalgia, but my time was wasted instead. What a let down. I didn’t even want to give this a single star, but it made me. That is how disappointed I am. Deleting the app.
Not at all what all of us fans were looking for
It’s really sad that Microsoft or anyone related to age of vampires would put their name on this pile of garbage. It is just another ad game looking for revenue by purchasing upgrades in no way shape or form. Does it even feel remotely close to how good age of vampires felt it is a complete utter blasphemy to even put age of empires anywhere in the title and for it to be officially associated with Microsoft is despicable. So waste of space and just a horrible game. Mobile systems have no means of being able to be compatible then they shouldn’t even attempt the game this way because it was a complete complete letdown
Boring money grabber
Game looks boring, nothing like real age of empires, still the same idle games which you keep upgrading buildings endlessly until you run out of resources and they start to grab your money.
Terrible
Don’t be fooled, this is terrible
No more waste
this is my first ever age of empires game and I played otter games very much like age of empires. I was expecting a lot from this game. I was severely disappointed. When I was going for the tutorial, I thought maybe this would get better as I progress and then I would get an age of empires like game. all it was was just the another base builder that takes all your money which was done 10,000 times by every other mobile game in existence. and some people say that the graphics are good which redeemed the game which the graphics are mediocre compared to other games like this on mobile. Even the damn the knockoffs are better than this game. Due to this, I will never trust this franchise again.
Fake
This is a scam. This is not Age of Empires at all not even close. If you want to play the actual game and own a console go to the store and the console and you can buy the actual game not this garbage. I would give this negative stars but they don’t let you do that.
Avoid
Avoid this game. It’s not fun and it costs money to play. Don’t bother downloading. I think it’s dying - nobody plays.
It’s just another MMO Clash of Clans rip off
Not a RTS Command & Conquer like Age of Empires. It’s just another city builder like Clash of Clans but worse.
I gave it a 2 star for nostalgia, but I deleted it the day I got it.

Very buggy
Game has a lot of promise but after upgrading a few times the lag really kicked in. The game kept losing server connection and freezing. Very quickly it became unplayable.
False advertising
This is nothing like what they make it seem to be. And not nothing like the pictures or videos
Not AoE
This game is in no way, shape or form Age of Empires, none of the mechanics nothing at all. Its like every other one of these build you town hall and wait 2 days games awful and you fight by sitting in from of a gate and magician fight for you
Reduced to tower defense
Reading these reviews makes me think the devs created bots with fake accounts to review the app.
Not authentic
Definitely nothing like the original game, just another similar story line game as all the others. And there are no black characters in the game at all. Crazy how these games lack historical value but act they account for it
