This is an absolutely fantastic game in many respects. It is far deeper than Advance Wars while still being accessible (and there’s a perfectly constructed tutorial with its own campaign to lead you through every aspect); you need to worry about building placement, research, two different resources, units with special abilities, heroes, and a multitude of different civilizations all with unique units and heroes. The units are perfectly balanced, each having strengths and weaknesses vs other units and buildings, and the heroes have their own special skills that can be used every turn; some boost the attack and movement of some units, some heal, some do direct damage, some reduce defense, some add gold to your treasury, some make units do more damage vs buildings, etc. There are a wide variety of maps to choose from, along with a large number of unlockable maps and units. The research is a very fun aspect; all the researches do very different things; some make a certain type of unit less expensive, some increase your sight, some increase damage or defense of a type of unit, and a variety of other neat little advantages you can research. It’s very open-ended, as there are a whole lot of research choices, and you can choose one each turn. After a certain number of completed researches, you can advance to another age (there are four total), making your units stronger and giving you a whole new realm of research to explore. It’s also cool how you can have up to 4 players per map, s.
Excellent results!
I enjoyed this game almost as much as the pc version, even though the graphics were not as good, because it was portable.I purchased my copy used. An earlier reviewer mentioned that there were known problems with a three letter character name, I had used a three letter name. It locked up a few times forcing me to restart it. Finally one day it locked up and wouldn’t restart at all. I tried several times over the next month and finally gave up. Fortunately I had finished the campaign.I have thought about buying another copy, thinking that maybe it was just the copy I had, but now I think I’ll not buy another copy, just wait for the next version.
If you like strategy games, then this is for you. I’m a huge fan of Advanced Wars and Civilization, and this title neatly slots somewhere in between. It is turn based, and as you progressed through the levels, it grows more complex and demands more attention to strategy. I’m still plowing through after 3 months of purchase, and it is a game that I return frequently. I would happily recommend it.
Arrived on time and as depicted.
My wife and I pkayed this when it first came out and we still play it. One of the BEST DS games. Lots of strategy amd so much fun to play on the go. Two thumbs up!
I have found that age of empires ds is not quite as bad as people make it out to be. I have logged 17 hours with this game and although it has frozen twice(both non-lethal to game) that creating a username four characters or longer does indeed help. All that aside it is a really great game with plenty of units and excellent battle animations (though a little repetitive). This game recieves 4 stars because of glitches, but it is an overall good game. Although I wouldn’t put this as number 1 on your must have list. It makes a good 2nd or 3rd!
Don’t listen to these other reviews griping about lockups. They don’t happen all that often, and to be safe, you can save before ending day so you don’t lose everything. The only problem with this game is that once you end day, you have to wait for everyone else to do whatever they want to do, and late in the game this could take a while. In all, this is a great game for the DS, and I highly reccomend it!
If you like to play risk, you’ll love to play this game. This is the perfect game to bring on a plane for a long trip.
Great game of this type of genre on this system.

Age of Empires for Nintendo DS is fun but limited. The characters all have to be moved one at a time which gets annoying, and the battle sequences even with the animations turned off took way too long. Good over all.

Age of Empires – Age of Kings for the Nintendo DS is not just a straight port of the fun real time strategy game. Instead, it’s a turn based version based on the same missions.Let me first say that several people have had issues of this gaming locking up on their DS. I haven’t had this problem at all with mine. The creators of Age of Empires – Age of Kings say that this is a known problem if your profile name (i.e your DS name) is only 3 or less characters long. If you are running into crashing problems and you are sure your profile name is MORE than four characters long, please let me know so I can research further.OK, on to gamplay. I really wish they could have done a straight port of the great real time strategy game to the DS, but I understand that this little unit just couldn’t handle the graphics and speed necessary. They did a nice job of downgrading the game just enough to work on the DS while keeping a lot of what made it so fun.The library has all sorts of great background information on the different cultures you meet, and you start out with a wonderfully done tutorial featuring Joan of Arc. You can learn about each stage of the game, or easily listen to some while skipping the others. They do a good job of ramping up the challenges slowly so that it’s not a cake-walk at any stage, but you can achieve the objectives given.You have standard unit and terrain issues to keep track of – horse units don’t do well while mired in a swamp, and archers do best if they’re up.

aoe franchise is awsome. the ds version is different than the computer kind but still good to play.

This was the first game I bought for my Nintendo DS Lite. The graphics are pretty good. They don’t compare to the PC version, but overall game play is very enjoyable. I’ve almost finished the game, after probably 50 hours of play.

This game was well-done, and a great value for the price. If you like strategy games, esp. turn-based, this is as good any decent PC t-b strat game for the PC from the 90’s. I actually never played AoE for PC, but think I will go ahead and pick up a bargain bin one and give it a whirl. This game actually reminded me a little bit of early HOMM titles (DS versions, please!), but with more freedom to move around.The story line and scenarios were very good, as were the factions. After the nice length campaign there were plenty of additional maps to play, and the game tweaks available made it work at the level you want to rather than feeling like you’re fighting it. Very enjoyable game, and due to the price a 5/5 (vs. a 4.5/5 if it had been $25 or more).

I was both pleased and intrigued to hear that Age of Empires could be played on the Nintendo DS. The turn based combat works well, the graphics are pleasing, though simple. Age of Empires in turn-based form ends up feeling somewhat like those early days playing Sid Meier’s Civilization. It begs the question, why isn’t Civilization on the DS? Age of Empires succeeds in bringing the RTS elements of resource management and expansion into a turn based game. I have heard good things about the multiplayer, but alas, I have not had the opportunity to try it out. If you are a strategy buff, this game is worth a look.

Age of Empires is a terrific game, challenging and rewarding at the same time. But…. my copy had so many glitches that it finally refused to load a saved game!! Now I have to buy a new copy and start over.
