Description

Welcome to Chronicles, a new narrative experience for Age of Empires II set in the world of ancient history. Chronicles builds on the core gameplay of Age of Empires II with innovative new mechanics and a complete visual reimagining inspired by classical antiquity.

This is a high-quality DLC. While it doesn't bring many new features, it's pretty much enjoyable.

New civs are quite a cool addition, accurate and balanced. The new aesthetic reminds me of the first AoE DE, but with a lot of improvement in details.

Still don't understand well the ships and docks changes; they seem to me the same thing as the standard game, but with confusing changes. Also, I can't understand the huge difference in size between regular and siege ships; they make a big "navy mess" when you put a lot of them together.

Price is too high, as always for 2DE DLCs.
  • Very interesting campaign
  • Beautiful aesthetic for buildings and units
  • New civs balanced and fun to play
  • Cutscenes orrible, long and boring
  • Some scenarios are too long and repetitive
  • Price too high (as usual for 2DE DLCs)
