Age of Empires 4

Relic Entertainment, October 28, 2021, PC

For a long time, fans have to wait that Microsoft finds back to the time-honored Age-of Empires series. With Age of Empires 4, the developers of Relic Entertainment finally delivered an all-round successful real-time strategy game. Four extensive campaigns take you on a journey through the Middle Ages in Europe and Asia. They tell the stories of the conquest of England through the Normans, the Hundred Years War, the Victory Trains of the Golden Horde and the rise of a small village on the Moseley to the center of all Ru's peoples. In doing so, the developers are involved not only in exciting battles, but convey by interestingly designed intermediate sequences also even more interesting historical background knowledge to the respective missions. In particular, the differences between the eight different peoples of Age of Empires 4 are playfully stung. But the basic gameplay loop remains like in the classics. Here is also the biggest problem of the game. It rests too much in the shadow of the historical setting and the gameplay of Age of Empires 2. Therefore, the definitive edition of the second part remains our first choice from the series. Part 4 but certainly has its permission.
