Best reviews

Even after more than 20 years the game is still THE rts-gem. The DLCs are very nice too. Costly over the years, but I will still buy every single one. It´s no problem if keeping up with the very competetive PvP is too stressfull for you, PvE is always thriving, the singleplayer campaigns are gold and can in part even be played with your buddies - those without the official means to do so have respective mods available. I have spent several hundered hours in this game, in PvE, PvP, campaign and Coop, and there are still tons of content i havent seen yet.
  • Premium PvE / Campaigns
  • Living comminity / mods / ranked
  • Constantly updated
  • even in unranked PvP is very sweaty
  • why are you still reading ? play already xD

Age of Empires II: The Age of Kings is a real-time strategy video game developed by Ensemble Studios and published by Microsoft. Released in 1999 for Microsoft Windows and Macintosh in 2001,[10] it is the second game in the Age of Empires series. The Age of Kings is set in the Middle Ages and contains 13 playable civilizations. Players aim to gather resources, which they use to build towns, create armies, and defeat their enemies. There are 5 historically based campaigns, which conscript the player to specialized and story-backed conditions, and 3 additional single-player game modes; multiplayer is also supported.

Age of Empires III is an absolutely classic game. Lots of mileage for your money! Still runs perfect despite being an older game! Highly recommend. Still holds up as a great RTS. Also lets you feel some sense of progress as you upgrade your city between fights.

I've been playing Age of Empires II for a few years now and I have to say that it is one of my favorite strategy games. The game mechanics are incredibly well-executed and the graphics are incredibly impressive for a game of this type. The game is also incredibly expansive and allows for very strategic warfare and resource management. The game also has great AI opponents to play against and a very active online community.

That being said, there are a few cons to the game. It can be a bit too complicated for some players and the online matchmaking system can be a bit inconsistent. Additionally, the single-player campaign can feel a bit too easy and repetitive at times.

Overall, though, Age of Empires II is an incredibly well-crafted game that offers a great experience. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great strategy game.

In short, if you play through only the campaigns it is about 200 hours of content. The well-done game has a thriving community.

If you liked AOE 2 as a kid, or just like RTS games where you need macro and micro.

It is a good game.

VERY high hours per dollar spent for this game.

The game still receives updates and is played by more players than AOE 3 and 4..........

GFX looks nice and preserved the art style.

Games run a 2+decade engine so the only single core is used, in big battles having PC with strong single core performance is advised.

Yeah AOE 2 from 1999, DE is the second remaster.
  • The game and the price
  • Has many sponsored trounies for the pros
  • Extreme amount of content to price ratio..
  • Many player have high skill ceiling,hard to start if you want to play MP in serious competitive manner

Fantastic remaster, except for the suicidal monks who randomly wonder off into the middle of the battlefield because you can't command them to 'Hold Position'. Allso, 'break formation' should be an option when you want to fall back with your troops. The way it's allways been, your units will sometimes move TOWARDS the enemy just to get into formation during retreat. You allso should be able to decide which units end up where in the formations. Would make tactics more interesting, especially for multi player

And the soundtracks are all remixes of the original soundtracks that I loved. I would much prefer that the original soundtracks could be selected for in the audio settings.
