I was really surprised by how much content Age of Empires: Mythologies contains, and the game itself is fun and inventive.
A mix of real-time and turn-based conventions makes Age of Empires: Mythologies an addictive venture into the ancient world.

Ohh my ****’s been 8+ years since I last picked up the game. I have since lost it but I fondly recall the early stages of the game as a kid. The red anteater looking monster frightened ~7 year old me and I specifically remember being amazed by the graphics which looked really real to me back then. I recall how frustrating it was to beat the at mission in the Egyptian campaign and how I finally beat that red monster. Hell, I even recall me just messing around in the sandbox with different “players (me)”.
10/10 would pick it back up if given a copy.

AoE - Mythologies is akin to age of mythology but on the DS. Fitting as I believe that game was made by the original AoE team. This is a very competent turn based strtegy game akin to fire emblem or advanced wars, there are 3 campaigns to play as, egypt, greece and nordic. I've not spend much time playing, but it hooked me and I know I could easily sink dozens of hours into the game. The music fit the game very well. The graphics were a decent isometric interpretation, a bit low res unfortunately, but serviceable. I can certainly recommend this and want to revisit it in the future. There are really cool features when choosing a faction, you can choose a god to follow enabling specific bonuses and then each god has champions that follow them and these champions have specific abilities as well. I believe if you're champion and/or all your units die, you lose. The combat is a strength/weakness or rock/paper/scissors mashup and is quick to understand and makes it easy to pick up and play. The multiplayer is that great open ended AoE multiplayer and I wish I had someone to play it with

Age of Empires is a perfect example of how a strategy game should look on a DS. The game offers strategil depth, it looks good and has some interesting new features. In all fairness, Civilization Revolution will provide you more strategic gameplay, but Age of Empires is a lot easier to pick up and is at least as good as the one Firaxis made.
This is a great strategy game for the DS, and one that strategy fans won’t want to miss.
A solid, deep game it gets a lot of things right and is such an improvement over its predecessor it is an ideal pick for gamers looking to try the series - and a must have for gamers disillusioned with the last iteration's meager graphical effort.
It's got more in common with Advance Wars, but this is still a great strategy game – real-time or not.
The gameplay gets a little too frustrating, the graphics too soulless, and the story too weak to keep us going in for too long.
One of my favorite ds games. Fun strategy game without getting too compicated. The graphics are pretty great too (for a ds game at least). If you're interested in mythology then defintely check this one out.

i wish i could give this game a higher score but i just would not be honest in saying this is a ground breaking game for the DS yes the graphics are better and the concept is cooler but that is about all that i think has improved from the AoK game released in 2006 which i still play unlike this game. on the map when it shows the figure the sizes are not prepotionate to each figure because you will have a small fire giant but a huge frost giant. also they made the fighting system worse, yes it is cool to see the units fighting and that has not changed but what has changed is the way they are arranged. in the previous game the units would start with 100 health and the battle cinematic shows 10 units with each one representing 10 health and once one is killed in the battle scene that represents10 damage has been taken and was easy to follow. but in this game they have like 4 figures and each represents 25 health, in what world is this an improvement. this game is also filled with glitches which can sometimes make the game unplayable. next is the story missions instead of being able to play in any difficulty you want with each faction representing a difficulty you must start with easy and work your way up and once you get to medium you cant pass the first mission which will drive you back to play pointless skirmishes that you will win easily or be crushed horrificly. leave this game on the shelf and play the 2006 version it is much better

game-play is okay, but as if the game is developed by **** who know nothing about mythology!!!
Poseidon has no access to cyclops but his brothers do;
Hades has no access to Underworld Passage but his brothers do;
indroduce Sobek (son of Set) but its only available to Isis?;
Set can easily avoid Horus in aoem's system but they didn't sort it out;
mix Nyx with the Olympian gods? (a goddess even older than Titans, they got no one else to ****
