New players will definitely benefit from playing through these scenarios to learn hotkeys, military strategy, resource management, and loads of other tips and tricks. Each of these campaigns is pretty cleverly designed to help teach (or refresh) players on the core fundamentals of RTS and AoE strategy. The new game arrives with eight playable civilizations (factions), four of which also have full campaign modes of their own. Obviously the graphics and sound design have come a long way, but, as a reviewer who spent many hours in the late 90s playing AoE2, the essence of the franchise very much shines through. In many ways, it’s incredibly impressive just how much Age of Empires 4 does look, feel, and sound like a modern spin on Age of Empires 2 that still feels dinstinct enough to not be AoE 2 Definitive Edition.

The game may not make too many attempts to add a ton of new features to the tried and true AoE formula, but it definitely nails the diversity of gameplay experiences available.
It’s easy to spot the inspiration that the developers took from AoE2 while pulling together their vision for the new entry in the franchise with a title that aims to please long-time fans of the series while also winning over a new generation with some accessible game modes.Īge of Empires 4 is jam-packed with play modes, tutorials, and difficulty levels that offer a path for just about any gamer who is interested in historical strategy, whether they are brand new to the RTS genre or have twenty plus years of experience under their belt. It’s been more than two decades since Age of Empires 2 launched and became an instant RTS classic and Relic is hoping to recapture that magic with its release of Age of Empires 4 this month.
