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.

how unfortunate, i kinda expected something like the nintendo DS aoe games.

turn based strategy games simmilar to advance wars or fire emblem.

might have been a genuinely fun game instead of an halfassed rts on a touchscreen
