Age of Empires III: Definitive Edition

Aside from Mexico and America being the most cost effective , 0 brainpower easiest win civs its a great game. Remove mexico and america and you have yourself a balanced master peice a 1200 rr mexico will beat a 1500 rr ANYTHING you have to be leagues above your oppoennt and they have to basically fuck up for you to have a chance at winning Lets make a civ that has 0 need for villagers so they cant be raided, and the troops get money back on the kills they get, and then give them an age 2 factory with full TP control at 6min Now you have to fight age 3/4 statted units that pay for themselves and ARE CHEAP

You must turn overclocking off, set to windows vista compatibility mode, and force single threading to get it run smoothly without crashes

The remaster is so bugged I can't even launch it anymore, yet reinstalling the 2007 version works on the first attempt. At least they removed the word "colonial" because it is a very scary word in a game about the colonization of the new world!

Removing features that were in older titles is a big L, game feels like a kick start early access and plays very much so. Honestly disappointing as I always wanted to play this but never got round to it

Fun game, it takes a while to learn and understand but good game overall

Not sure how I feel about the game. I mean, it's Age of Empires, one of the biggest games of its genre. But I feel like there is nothing special about this one. Still would recommend, I think it's solid.

Can't complain too much, got it on the cheap. However, the original game is perfectly fine, no need for a remake. The big selling point for me was the "coop campaign" which isn't a campaign at all, it's just 6 scenarios, 5 are piss easy, 1 is impossible. cmon guys, Red Alert 3 showed us how to make a RTS coop campaign in 2008, 17 years ago. Not even going to mention the absurd DLC situation, they're not campaigns, they charge you to get the most busted unbalanced civs, not worth, unless you NEED the crutch. In short, no new content, just a cash grab.

this is an all around fun game. fun 1p storymode and a fun multiplayer, i would definitly recommend

Besides the changes they made for the OG one and for some reason me cannons and ships still fire birthday cakes its good 2 out of 5 stars because i dislike the cakes.

I don’t quite understand the decision to include American or Mexican civilizations while excluding major powers like the Persian or Austro-Hungarian empires. Adding these civilizations would be a highly appreciated improvement, as both played significant roles in world history. Additionally, I recommend including an Irish revolution path when playing as the British, along with more unique Irish units to enrich the gameplay and historical diversity.

Man! The music of this game is full of masterpieces, why don't we get music like this in modern games! Whoever created and played those soundtracks are real artists. I keep returning to the game just for it's OST!

An amazing game and really good remaster! I grew up playing many classic rts games like the age of empires games, empire earth, civilization etc but Age of Empires 3 really stuck with me for its incredibly smooth movement, fast phasing and card system. This re-release really does it justice adding tones of new content like civs, natives, techs and cards. If you enjoyed the original or just looking for a great rts play this game!

Came here after playing C&C. Love this franchise as much if not more. Great to play solo or with friends.

This is a great update to a classic game. Solid graphics for an RTS, excellent UI, and tons of little extras that give you the freedom to make the game what you want it to be (highly customizable skirmish options, tons of unique civilizations and maps, photo mode, etc.) If you are a fan of RTS games, this is one to pick up! You’ll have almost endless entertainment, conquering most parts of the globe!

I've been playing this game since I was 7. However the frequent crashes and freezes stopped me from playing it

Has being going ok up until a few weeks ago. I cannot buy stuff from the market place which spoils the whole game.

Good remaster, good DLCs, worth buying.

Kind of everything you would want in an Age of Empires game. Good story, learning about historical figures, and all in a fun way with some nice and varied gameplay.

Great for strategy, great graphics depending on what your computer can handle.

Perfect, nostalgic, easy to sink hours into it. I am impartial to it bc of said nostalgia but its so great

I grew up playing this game and just downloaded it again, and can't stop playing it

after long time and its very historical u can defeat the OTTOMAN EMPIRE with Spain 10/10

I've played the orginal AOE3 hundreds of hours, and the Definitive Edition is better in every way.

You have to use your eyes, brain and senses to achieve success. Great fun.

way better than age 2, they removed the grind and with such quantity of nation, having to make a card deck with all the card available without having to spend 20h grinding the army is so much fun! each time you play a new nation you take 5 min to build a card deck for that nation and you have so much fun

I have been playing this game for many many years (Legacy player) this is probably my favorite game of all time and including all versions of this game i probably have over 1000 hours on it. sadly while legacy had many balance issues on its own and actually to the credit of DE many of them were actually fixed they made some stuff really unbalanced for example the ottomans (in legacy people had honor and usually wouldn't play the broken civs) it seems like the meta changes favour late game play (in all civs pretty much including rushing civs) which i feel ruins the strategic depth this game has (probably best in the RTS genre i must be honest). making this game f2p means a lot of team games people dont even communicate with each other and finding team games with competent players can be quite challenging it seems like the entire competent player base is only playing 1v1 in DE and sadly not team game games. (if you have friends that play this game and use ranked team games this can be better but you need friends that play this game because playing with players that dont communicate can be really frustrating but ranked team is still much better than non ranked of course it just seems like majority of good players are playing 1v1s ) also this game runs like crap i know it used to be worse at launch however since the last update (a long time ago) probably not getting fixed anytime soon (im not getting over 50fps and im well above the requirements) They probably won't update this game so the massive balancing problem and performance issues and even sometimes bugs won't be fixed sadly,vast majority of players are f2p noobs who dont communicate so games are quite boring competitive so your only option (I miss legacy's lobbies so much where even low ranked players would communicate) sad what has become of this once great game honestly aoe2 de is in a much better state esp community wise (still prefer classic aoe3 ofc) just wanted to drop this review because i miss the good old days ngl

They removed the card progression system and now all cards are automatically available. The card progression system was part of the charm of Age of Empires III. I hope they'll make an update that lets you toggle that on and progress through like on the original game. Good Luck and Have Fun

Age of Empires III was a lot better when you could play from the CD. This new Steam version constantly kicks you out of the game and it is always lagging. That never happened with the old version. It was 10000% times better. Although I like the new indians and characters, the online playing is soooo bad.

This game is as good as I remembered it. I highly recommend this if you like RTS games.

My first game of my life Here start my love for RTS and this saga.

Brilliant RTS , but i loved the old Age of Emp. III as well so this a no-brainer really

Im to high to figure out how to get this off my screen. Good game tho

>pick Brits >spam musks >win Gud strategem since 2007 10/10

One of my favorite games of all time. I love everything about this game.

very good game. been playing it for a few years now

Versatility of strategy you can use

Objectively I know 2 is better, but again and again i keep coming back to 3. really wish there was more campaign stuff that covers the new civs added, but if im going to have a complaint, wanting more is a good one to have

friendship destroyer game

Best AOE games because it has a Treaty mode!

Nostalgic. But more!

aging my empire, hold on

Excellent game

I play this game to relax. Good fun

Grew up on this game 10/10
