Age of Mythology: Extended Edition

Image: Steam / its publisher

  • Real-time strategy
  • Mythology
  • Classic

The 2002 classic, remastered: as the Greeks, Egyptians, Norse or Atlanteans you gather food, wood, gold and divine favour, pick a god each time you advance an age and summon mythical creatures and powers like a meteor shower.

Why play it now

When you want a long classic strategy campaign: the main one has 32 scenarios, and there are two more.

Who it's for

For fans of classic real-time strategy with mythology, where each faction plays very differently.

When not to pick it

If you want something current: it's a 2014 edition that's no longer updated; Retold replaces it.
