This game arrived in excelent condition after about ten days and being a huge age of empires fan I was excited when it came. It’s a turn based game just like other Age of Empires games for DS and offers a unique variety of units and powers to keep Age of Empire fans hooked for at least a week. It also has a rather difficult but thrilling campaign.
What can I say but Wow! This game is just great. The first Age of Empires was good, but this follow up is near perfect. So many extra features like relics, god powers, lots of different research options, and myth characters/heroes to play. The game has a bunch of unlockables (boards, charterers, and items), and after you finish the first 3 campaigns (24 boards) you can play through them all again on a hard campaign. And if all those boards aren’t enough for you there are 24 scenario boards where you can play the different civilizations against each other (Egyptian, Greek, or Norse), plus you get to use the enemy heroes on some of these boards. For those who still need more, don’t forget the vs. mode so you can play against human players online or in person. I’ve played most of these type games for gameboy, and if only the newest version of Advance wars (Days of Ruin) could have been nearly half as good of a sequel as this game is. Just to wrap up, again a Fantastic game, I highly recommend it. Hours and hours of enjoyable play time. No one who likes this type game should be without it.
“Age of Empires: Mythologies” continues the fine tradition of the classic strategy game series. But this time, we get to use the gods, heroes, and monsters of classic mythology to do battle with on the Nintendo DS. Joy! The game packs in countless hours of gameplay featuring more content then you will ever use and most of the satisfaction of classic strategy series’ like “Warcraft” and “Civilization”; all in your pocket. It’s really amazing how far portable gaming has come from the days of “Tetris”. Never thought I’d be balancing resource-gathering, town-building, and research with offensive and defensive ambush strategies and playing multiple worthy AI opponents against each other in a handheld game.Alrighty then. Egyptian, Nordic, or Greek: pick your favorite. All are here with their own unique line-up of gods, heroes, and combat units, among other things. There is a campaign for each that utilizes all of what each mythology has to offer in a sort of story mode. It’s reasonably challenging although I was extremely annoyed at first by the slow build-up before being able to build towns and create the units I wanted to. The game picks your patron god and heroes for you among other things during the campaigns which I did not care for one bit. But if you are new to turn-based strategy wargames like this one, it’s a great way to learn. It’s also a great way to get points that you can use to unlock tons of new in-game stuff for the real meat of this sort of game: the sk.
When I was looking for a DS game for my boy, I found this one. We had the version for computer and was very exciting to have one for the nintendo. Once my boy and my husband tried it, they were very satisfied with it.
I have both Age of Kings and Mythologies, and there is a very good reason I am playing the latter more often nowadays. Age of Kings is now WAY too easy. Age of kings is easy to the point where I can make it as hard as possible, and still toy around with the enemy before killing them. Mythologies is very different. Even on normal difficulty your enemy will attack you, and if pushed back, they will keep throwing men at you until the bitter end. As well as being an actual challenge, Mythologies also puts itself ahead of Age of Kings with civilizations that actually play differently from one another. Although the game lacks some of the depth and mathematical sense of Age of Kings it is still just as good or possibly better due to its different play-styles.
As a great lover of Greek Mythology, I think this game really captures everything. The graphics are great, the storyline for each culture is well thought out, and the actual cultures blow me away. Each culture (Egyptian, Greek, and Norse) all include there main gods, and each come with special powers that either benefit your culture or wreck havoc on your enemies. Also, each god you choose to worship comes with a mythical beast, ranging from sphinxes to harpies, and even to ice and fire giants. In addition, the gods seem to have an odd sense of humor, making you wonder if you should laugh or cry.Another quality of the game is that, if you don’t like the story mode, you can play a game against between 1 to 4 computer players.Buy this game, and you won’t regret it!
My 10 year old son loves this game. He likes the Pokemon and Mario games but says this one is the best and most interesting. We bought it used in Like New condition and it’s great.
age of mythologies is a fun game and is enjoyed by my grandsons.The shipping was terrible and did not arrive when said would arrive. Itwas shipped to the wrong address to start with and I had to pay an additional postage ($2.95) to get the package.
Great game, very old school =) Also, after you finish the story you can play multiplayer against an AI which is challenging.
My son is a fan of the other Ages of Empires series. This was a Christmas hit esp. since it is for his DS so now he can take it on the go.

I bought this game last week, and have been unable to put it down since, it is VERY addictive! I wasn’t sure if I would like it or not, seeing as how the only other strategy game I’ve played was the SRPG Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings (which is also an excellent game!), but I have enjoyed every minute of it. I can’t compare it to the previous Age of Empires, as this is my first one, but Mythologies more than holds it’s own.MULTIPLAYER: Age of Empires: Mythologies supports Wireless DS Single-Card Download Play (1-2 Players), as well as Wireless DS Multi-Card Play (1-4 Players) and Online Play. I have yet to play multi-card play and Online Play, but the single-card download play was a blast! The premise of the multiplayer is the same as the campaign mode, where you try to defeat each other. The multiplayer matches can be very long, my cousin and I ended up playing a single match for over an hour, but they’re a lot of fun.5/5GRAPHICS: The graphics are some of the best I’ve seen on the DS. They are colorful and sharp, with no jagged edges or blurriness. The characters and maps are very well-detailed. The graphics rival those from Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings.4.5/5GAMEPLAY: There are quite a few modes to play in Mythologies, including Single Player Campaign, Skirmish, and Scenario, as well as the Multiplayer modes. I have yet to play the Skirmish and Scenario modes, as the Campaign mode is sucking up all my time. The story is kinda lacking, but the gameplay more than makes.

Age of Empires: Mythology is fantastic. My 13-year-old son loves the game. He also enjoys learning about the different gods and their myths. He particularly enjoys battling as Poseidon, because he has read the Percy Jackson and the Olympians book series by Rick Riordan, and he can pretend to be Percy, who is a son of Poseidon. My son has wanted this game for a long time, and I couldn’t find it in stores. Luckily, retrolio had this game, and it has been worth the search. I highly recommend all the Age of Empire games because of the history lessons they give. My son talks about the history as much as he talks about the moves he can do in the games. His high expectations of Mythologies was fulfilled.

This isn’t the type of game I normally play…..being a fan of games like Cake Mania and Diner Dash. Decided to pick this up after we read the Percy Jackson books (still on the mythology kick). I really like this game!Being completely NEW to this type of game play….no cons, just pros for me. I REALLY appreciated that this game has tutorials for you to accomplish before being thrown into the missions. I specifically bought this game new because I thought I would need to look at the instruction book to figure out how to play. The instruction booklet was completely useless. The tutorials are all you need.You start off with a few people in your military (heroes, archers, cavalry, etc.) You also have a builder who is used to build up your base, your farms, your mines. Every turn, you try to advance your borders a little further by challenging the armies of your enemy. Each member of your military has specific strengths and weaknesses (which are shown on the screen when you select them). When you obtain enough favor and materials, you can advance an “age”. At that point, more god powers will become available and you can upgrade your military.I have been playing this game (as I have time) over the last 5 months and I haven’t even scratched the surface with all that it offers. I finished the Egyptian section and I am almost finished with the Greeks. I like that there is a lot of strategy involved in this game…..you don’t just finish a level and win. You could sit t.

I would rank this right up there with FFTA2, Civilization: Revolution, Advance Wars, and AoE for the DS. It’s a must-buy for DS turn-based fans. The new graphics make it even better than AoE 1 for the DS.

My son loves Mythology. He plays this game more than any of his other DSI games.

I really loved the other Age of Empires and thought this would have to be a must buy. For the most part it was. However, it still came across as less overall than it’s sister game. Having played both, I can say I’d have been happy with the original only. This version seems to strip out some of the strategy of building your civilization, without as much to explore in each civ. The myth units are neat for a time, but didn’t add as much to the tactical aspect as I’d hoped. They also seemed much more vulnerable than I expected from demigods and mythical creatures, which might have been necessary for game balance.

Thank you. My kid absolutely loves this game. It was awesome to find at a good price. Brings back memories of when I played it on PC

This game is/was fun. I enjoyed myself more than I expected and am looking forward to future games like this.

Great game. I wasn’t sure if I’d like it at first because I originally played one of the other games in the series for PC and the formatting seemed to be a bit different, but it proved to be a fun game.
