What self-respecting RTS and/or AoE fan plays this kind of stuff on mobile anyway?
Barely anything good ever comes from these kind of mobile games, or any mobile games in general for that matter.
Mobile gaming is like dumpster diving–there are a handful of good ones among the utter trash.
One of the good ones I found is Exiled Kingdoms–it’s an homage to 90’s RPGs, and it’s good on mobile.
Balatro is on mobile now. It’s digital crack cocaine
It is genuinely hard to describe just how bad this is. I did the best job I could of my own review over on the official Age of Empires forums. Its worst sin is probably the simple fact that it barely even feels like a game where you make choices. You just click what it tells you to do.
It’s telling that they don’t have an official subforum for this game, although there is one for AoE1, 2, 3, and 4, and Age of Mythology.
I got a good chucke of of the minireview review for it.
Age of Empires Mobile is a fantastic real-time strategy game… oh, wait. Scrap that. This mobile version of the beloved RTS franchise has nothing to do with the original PC games. The gameplay is different, and the monetization is extremely pay-to-win. Unfortunately.
Didn’t know it was also a Tencent production. Eww
I had a read over the rest of that review. Damn it was a good read. And sadly very, painfully accurate to my experience.
