Age of Mythology: Retold is a great remake of the 2002 classic with amazing gameplay additions and enough modern systems to feel friendly toward newcomers. While the lack of new content at launch weakens the game a bit, the RTS greatness sure makes up for it.

Age of Mythology. One of my favorite games of all time. My second favorite strategy game ever made, only trailing behind Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds. When I heard of Microsoft bringing it back with a brand new remake/ster/whatever, Age of Mythology: Retold, boy was I hyped… but also slightly skeptical. After all, I feared they would eventually “Age of Empires IV it”, making it a bit less customizable, a bit less interesting to play. I guess I shouldn’t have needed to worry, thou...

Praying to the gods for victory was the standard for armies in ancient times. Whatever your respective pantheon was, you prayed for the gods to grant you victory. Age of Mythology: Retold brings those prayers to life by giving you godly powers in exchange for your faith. With the ability to use god powers multiple times per game and more upgrades, Age of Mythology: Retold makes significant improvements to its previous release. Unleash the might of the gods and crush your enemies before they c...

If I'm being honest, I can't remember much about the original Age of Mythology. I remember thinking it was a great game, but I've not played that twenty-two-year-old game in about five years, and even then, it was only a quick jump in. Playing Age of Mythology Retold has left me wondering a few things, such as "Was the campaign this long when it launched?", "why haven't they allowed for WASD movement of the camera?" "Will I ever play the online PVP mode?" and "What time is it?"

Age of Mythology: Retold is brimming with contrasts, and yet the game's most important asset, the combat and myth units, aren't as interesting or exciting past their legendary visages.

I think you won’t be disappointed. If they can fix some of the AI problems and balance issues in future patches, Age of Mythology can truly stand among its peers. It might even become the true fan favorite it was always destined to be. Maybe we should ask the gods for their favor and start praying.

Age of Mythology: Retold is up there with the best RTS remakes thanks to its faithfulness to the original, myriad UI and aesthetic updates, and smart decision to leave AoM's enjoyable idiosyncrasies intact.

Age of Mythology Retold is fun, don’t get me wrong. The visual overhaul alone is enough to make playing this 22-year-old game easier, and the quality-of-life improvements sand down some of the older versions’ more annoying edges. However, with more substantial structural improvements in later Age of Empires games, plus with the likes of Ara: History Untold just around the corner, I’m just not sure Retold needed to exist.

Age of Mythology was already a respectable package and Retold adds some additional shine. Like other Age games, it’s got near-endless replay value and is packed to the brim with gameplay and lore (even if some content is locked at release). All up though, this is a promising start and it will likely only get better from here on out with more updates and some expansions planned. If you skipped this one back in the day, or just want to revisit it, Retold is a great modernisation of Microsoft’s RTS classic.

Age of Mythology: Retold doesn’t redefine the genre but returning fans will not be disappointed and new ones may discover why RTS games were king of the hill in the not-so-distant past. Retold is mechanically solid, beautifully remade, and a blast to play with friends.

Some pitfalls here and there don’t take away from the fact that Age of Mythology: Retold is a great reimagining of the classic game. It’s simultaneously faithful to its old version whilst having enough modern additions to make it satisfying to play some 20 plus years later. This is how you bring a cult classic into modern times. I hope you’re listening, Warcraft III: Reforged. It’s not that difficult now, is it?

Age of Mythology: Retold is still mostly a classic RTS, but the visual overhaul makes a big difference.
