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.
That was a really good review. I only know about this game because my xbox advertised it, and I assumed it was some new xbox game. It's sad to see mobile ads on my xbox as 95% of the games are trash.
I got a good chucke of of the minireview review for it.
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.
