- In a nutshell: heavily refreshed (remake, not remaster) version of a strategy game from over two decades ago.
The plot in the remake of the classic real-time strategy takes place in ancient times and allows you to take part in many historical events, including the siege of Troy. Age of Mythology: Retold isn't limited to Greece, however. We will also have the opportunity to visit to Midgard or Egypt. Among the units that we can recruit to our army, there are many fantastic, mythological creatures. Pegasi, Cyclopes, and Cerberus are among those fighting for our cause.
What makes it worth playing?
For many people, it will be a sentimental journey back in time, and thanks to the new graphics, they won't feel disappointed that their favorite childhood game (or one of them) looks terrible today compared to how they remember it. Besides graphics, the user interface and other elements have been improved. However, the core of the gameplay remained untouched. So if you haven't played the original so far, and you enjoy classic RTS games (resource gathering, building construction, unit management), this is also a title for you.
