The Age of Empires part IV was announced in late August of 2017. Since then, the real-time strategy (RTS) fans have been anxiously waiting for the game to release. Since Microsoft and Xbox took the initiative to launch the game, there were high hopes that this game would impress the lot.
Finally, the game got released, and let’s tell you; it wasn’t an easy task completing the game. Everything was a delight to the eyes, from its four-part historic campaign with multiple missions to testing the multiplayer matches and skirmishes.
Review + Gaming Graphics:
The Age of Empires IV could be called a classic RTS game in every sense.
Although one can’t say it is revolutionary, the game has been impressive enough with its unique spice, style, and grace – contrary to other RTS games.
It is balanced and a superb finished game that feels more like a slow burn as you progress through the missions. The replayability is spectacular and is fun enough.
Although it is highly debatable in our personal opinion, it does not go to the level of Age of Empires II – cult success. But we can see many elements incorporated in the 4th installment of this game that we have seen in the second one.
Like the best-loved elements from the Age of Empires II game that was mimicked into the latest installment but with high-definition, this enriched look in the new RTS game won hearts.
One crucial thing we saw in the game was the producers’ dedication and their understanding of their fans. They paid homage to the old as well as the new fans. The tutorial for Age of Empires IV was more like a throwback to the unforgettable memories we made for the previous Age of Empires series.
Another change we saw was in the Story Mode, when the difficulty level in the campaign removed the mass tactics and the micro play to give the story a more narrative-driven experience.
The challenges in AoE IV are designed for the gamers to test their potential and improve their understanding of the game and its core elements.
Final Words
It is up for debate whether the game truly captured the essence of the previous games or whether it would be likable to the audience. To us, the game was impressive enough despite being an RTS genre.
Some moments inside the game lack the potential and complexity required at this level. The technological aspects of the Age of Empire IV could have been done better, but it’s still acceptable.
In conclusion, this game was a solid entry to the Age of Empire series, and there is still plenty to discuss, but with new additions and fixes, this game is worth a try.
We have loved playing the game so far, and so will you. We are just excited about what the Age of Empires IV RTS game brings to its audiences.
