Amazing game, trash devs. First they released Definitive Edition and stopped updating this one (which is fair), but then they tried goading the playerbase to their new game while literally acting as if this game never existed. People who played AoE in their childhood are here for this game specifically, not DE!! If you want to get this on sale, forget it :( Devs are now making sales for their "new" definitive games exclusively, which is peak REEtarded behavior. In other words, this gem here will never go on sale again. Oh, did I also mention they drained the logo of all colour and added retired to the title... like who does that?!
Just nominated this for the test of time award. Honestly who hasn't heard of age of empires? A lot of grew up with it and other titles like warcraft and command and conquer but look at it. Age of empires II is still played to this very day by a lot of people, and for a good reason! Since this game came out ages ago it has had tons of bugs fixed, a lot of balancing work went into it and new civs were added that fit into the game nicely and enrich the overall experience while still staying true to the core. It does't need super fancy visuals, it doesn't need you to have korean progamer levels of apm to enjoy it. It comes from a time when games were just about having fun, and it still is! Do yourself a favor and give it a try.
