Age of Mythology: Retold

Is it just me or is the game going backwards as the updates come out? Seems my 3060 card and 64gb or ram cant handle this game anymore.. Massive battles end up with a majority of the units disappearing. Graphics issues i guess but seriously this game is running on the Aoe3 engine last i read. How did AoEM out date my graphics card over the span of a few updates?!? ‐------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Guess I better respond and clarify cause it looks like some giga nerds hopped in to the comments. 11th Gen intel core i7-11700@2.50Ghz. There.. I have a kit computer from New Egg. I play game for fun. Its not my profession. So to the first bunch of mouth breathers, your right. I dont build pc's. I do know one thing though. When the game first launched I DID NOT have these issues. The game ran fine. After the waves of patches that have come through only now am I running into issues. For the guy who thinks he's the authority on reviewing. I was unaware that people aren't allowed to write reviews not up to your standards. So yeah gtfoh. I use the Nvidia Downloader for my graphics drivers. I am up to date but it didn't seem to fix anything. I lowered the graphics settings to see if that would help. Unfortunately no luck. Im not running any 4k, just 1920×1080 @ 60hz. I just want the game to work. I also played the original AOEM. Never had any issues with that and im currently playing AOE4 with no issues. Dont need the help from condescending internet trolls. The majority of people playing games aren't "experts" like a few of you act. Just normal players telling other normal players what they might run into. Long winded sorry but thats the ordeal. I have 90 other games in my steam library that run just fine atm.

I'll be honest, I don't like Age of Empires that much... but I LOVE this game. The flavor and variety between the different pantheons and even the major and minor gods and powers are SO much fun. The Devs pay close attention to community feedback and are constantly tweaking and adjusting things, big and small, to make the game more enjoyable. Tbh I suck at it, but man is it a good time.

First time I launched this remake I though ,,Wow, not much has change since original, it looks exactly the same". Then I actually played old version and holy the new graphics are so amazing. They somehow managed to make this game look and feel exactly as I remembered from my childhood days, which is not easy task since lets be honest, to a child any game looks like wonder. They also improved many game-play aspects, so not only does this new version of Age of Mythology looks amazing, its also great to play. 100% recommend this game, I cant wait for future pantheons to be added (fingers crossed for Aztecs at some point).

Game-play is smooth and the updated graphics are fantastic. I love the rock-paper-scissors mechanic of human v. myth-unit v. hero unit. The only major downside (for me at least) is the voice acting in the campaign is not as great as it was in the original (though the VA for Arkantos came back and did fantastic) but that isn't as big of a deal with mods.

Beautiful RTS game. Works well in my machine and OS (prior win 10, now ubuntu). If you are fan of making mix of monster/human armies, you like greek/egyptian/nordic/chinese/japanese soon mythology, then this is the game for you. My only complain is the new team torn off the (mild/ my first) gore the game originally have: Skeletons, blood, corpses and decaying corpses evolution; nothing way to graphic and definetly no dismemberments where present in the original, so it was reasonable.

The game from my childhood, with all its imperfections removed

A great remaster on all fronts and a timeless classic of a game :D

Autoscouting has always been buggy, with scouts just randomly stopping exploring for no reason and disabling the autoscout regardless of how much unexplored territory is left as soon as they hit what they seem to think are dead ends. As of a month ago, Atlantean autoscouting has been *completely* broken - Oracles on autoscout no longer stand still for long enough to expand their vision range, meaning they basically see nothing even when they are properly autoexploring. And this hasn't been fixed with the launch of the new month of their stupid year-long FOMO event... which focuses on Atlanteans this time.

There is pathing issues so you have to micro manage big armies more but overall a major W remastered game!

Great game. If you are a fan of the original you will like this game. Graphics are pretty good for an RTS.

Game is super fun, better than the buggy original. Excited for the Japanese Pantheon to come out

Age of Mythology: Retold is a welcome update to the original, which was already a very good game. As a new player to the RTS genre, I love this game—even though it's quite hard for me to get used to the fast-paced gameplay and the micromanagement of units and buildings. I can't wait to try out the new DLCs!

Age of Mythology has always been my favorite age game by a large gap, i am overjoyed that this ws released and that new content will be coming for it. Hopefully this will make way for Age Of Mythology 2. May or may not be hoping for the Celtic pantheons.

Been wanting a remake of this game for ages and its finally here. Seems pretty well polished. Thanks to making our childhood dreams come true, BIG DIC W to everyone that worked on this master piece.

I absolutely loved the original game, and this remake lives up to the original. Definitely a must if you like mythology and games like Command and Conquer.

A good remaster makes everything better. This is a good remaster.

I wrote this game off at first because I was pretty butthurt about the voice acting absolutely ruining my nostalgia trip. I play the original Age of Mythology through almost yearly, and I was very much looking forward to the visual updates expected with this game. However, after coming back and giving this game another chance (and downloading the mod to restore the original voice acting), I've come to appreciate some of the changes they've made. Without getting into the weeds about it, the game truly feels like it's gotten QoL improvements from people that genuinely care about the game and how well it plays. They're intelligent and fun to play. I recommend a real try at this for people that are veterans like me because it really does freshen up a game that I grew up with.

Best modern RTS anno 2025. +Very balanced +A civ for every kind of playstyle. (Macro, rush, timings) -Patchfinding can be abuses with walls -Workers can get stuck in a walking loop when Towncenter get build by other players.

All I want for this game is to add one thing that let's me hold down the middle mouse button and drag to navigate the map and it will be SWEEEEEEET

Nostalgic!!! Just as good as i remember, but WISHED TO THE GODS that the chinese DLC would never have been released, they are just not right for this game according to me. Instead they should have focused on the others gods and PERHAPS even more new campaigns for Greek, Egypt, Norse and Atlanteans. But i know that is just wishful thinking :(

An absolute titan among real time strategy games. One of my favorite sound tracks of all time as well. I'm very impressed with this remaster. It runs very well and is very faithful to the original release. The graphics are beautiful and doesn't really destroy the art style. The new and improved Chinese pantheon is really fun and fit perfectly with the others. Freyer is a fantastic addition to the Norse pantheon as well. I haven't touched the Chinese campaign, so I can't say if it's good yet, but the faction itself is really nice to play. The original Chinese pantheon just felt kinda bland and I wasn't all that interested in it. They did a fantastic job of remaking it. If you're new, this is the best version to buy. If you loved the original, you'll fall in love with this no doubt. One of the best RTS since Age of Empires 2, in my opinion. I do sometimes miss the original voice for Athena, and I think the tutorial mission was a bit cooler in the OG, but I can see why they'd change them and it doesn't detract from how great this remaster is. Definitely worth a buy.

it's a fun and exiting that follows an interesting story line

Great game love it. reminds me of when i used to play ages ago. very well done. love the china story as well

I loved this game as a kid and the remaster does it justice. I like that you can recast God Powers now. The nostalgia hits.

A great game, now looks and feels even better!

One of the best RTS games I've ever played and I've played many. The amount of content you get for $50 for the premium edition is like nothing you see today with modern games. It feels almost unfair how good value it is. I hope they continue to add more campaign DLC because I'll keep coming back for more.

It's a classic remade for the modern era with a ton of QoL improvements over the last iteration, and they're releasing updates with it. There are a ton of new major and minor gods, myth units, and 2 extra civilisations over the final update of the first game. Kinda wild.

Great Remaster. Can't get any better than this. Runs smooth, plays great.

Been playing this since i was a child. Still love this game. Creators have done a wonderful job in this retold version. Love every bit of it.

Absolutely love this game. It was a staple in my childhood and I am so thrilled that it's back. I would highly recommend to anyone who loves RTS games.

Really fun! Hopefully they add aztecs or mayans or some prehispanic civilization after the japanese!

Amazing remaster and just solid addition to the base game experience

I'm glad for them to make up for the original Chinese campaign, happy to see it redone proper in a new story. Love the new touch. One of my favorite games.

Bought the expansion on sale for like 16 bucks. I definitely thing it's more suited towards the middle of the 10-euro range. The campaign feels a bit rushed story-wise, but the heroes, gods, and units of the chinese are fun. The favoured terrain thing is a neat additon, but aside from feeling a bit weird, at first glance it's a little off-putting to have to build buildings in a long conga line from the town center. Overall fun, though!

Great game, always was. The updates are enough to make it feel fresh and the blessings and daily's keep me coming back.

Id say get on sale but if youre finding yourself REALLY enjoying the game for more than 20 hours and dont see yourself getting stale, get it at full price as it is mostly worth it, the amount of new mechanics/buildings and units let alone the new theme makes it all a worthy upgrade to the base game for a few sheckles, or what is basically now the same price as a decent sized meal from any take out place. in other words, its good!

This game is one that is good if you like a bit of a strategy game. It is fun in the way you can build up your city to how you want it and you can kind of fuss over your little villagers if thats something thats up your ally. But then its mixed with an urgency to build an army and defenses and i dont know - its like a really fun mix between building up and thinking on the go

if you like RTS games like warcraft and starcraft or even command and conquer then this is the game for you! Really hope we get more expansions with new gods/etc.

i love this game a lot. unfortunately steam wont let me buy freyr, wonder why that is, id love to play him.

Love it. So much the same as the old version, but with better graphics and player friendly.

Is it worth the extra money compared to the extended version? No. Do I enjoy playing it? Heck Yes [love the revamped graphics]

Pretty good game. Very nostalgic for me since I grew up playing aom, Rise and Fall, lotr bfme and I loved the idea of building and fighting other armies. I wish that this game had the same war scene at the start as the old aom and I really hope they add it.

amazing game, if you want to learn mechanics watch Boit tv on yt , you will learn a lot from him.

Feels and looks like ye olde Age of Mythology, and that's about all one could ever ask for in a remaster. Only complaint is the lack of blood and bones when troops/units go to Valhalla. It was that little touch in the original that made it that much more quaint. Now it just seems that much more bland without it...

I liked the original version and this is only better. Although I am Reminiscent of the old voice actors for the campaign and some of the myth units actually have voice lines that are mildly off putting. However overall everything is great!

[h1] Still Love It, But…[/h1] Oh great, Japanese mythology [b]again[/b] — because clearly the world [b]doesn’t have enough[/b] games with samurai, yokai, and kimono wearing people. Still adore the game ‘cause it’s my childhood after all. But another pantheon after this, like the Aztecs at least? Probably too much effort for them. Pulling the plug on this game feels like a matter of time anyway, since the player count is already low enough.

Classic RTS with better graphics! This game sure to bring about that nostalgic Age of Empires/Age of Mythology feels in all you 90's gamers!

If you loved it then, you'll love it now. If you've never had the opportunity to pretend to be a mighty god or goddess, now's your chance. They keep adding content too & other than swapping out some voice actors, they've left everything you loved about the original.

This is one of the best if one of the top 5 RTS games of all time - this Remake is a great quality of life upgrade both for fans of the early 2000s and new player alike.

nice rework and added content to coop play. still learning what this game have but after this hours i can say, if you liked old Mythology, you can go for this without affraids. Changes in main menu are not bad because it is AoE 4 style so we can say, it gets unified maybe
