  • Real-time strategy
  • Mythology
  • Remake

A 2024 remake of the mythological RTS on a new engine: Greeks, Norse, Egyptians and Atlanteans, god powers that recharge and cost more favour each time, and the three classic campaigns across 50 missions. The Chinese, Japanese and Aztecs are paid DLC.

Why play it now

When you fancy a long strategy campaign: one reviewer needed over 15 hours for just the first of the three.

Who it's for

For anyone after the Age of Mythology they remember, with modern graphics, an editor, mods and cross-platform play.

When not to pick it

If glitches wind you up: automatic villager assignment misfires and units get stuck.
