Age of Mythology: Retold is a remake of the legendary real-time strategy game Age of Mythology that was released in 2002, with significant improvements.
Age of Mythology: Retold not only has significant upgrades in graphics and sound, but also has many innovations in gameplay, making the game more engaging while still maintaining the characteristic tactical spirit of the original version.
Story and setting
Age of Mythology: Retold is set in ancient times, where great civilizations such as Greece, Egypt, Norse and Atlantis dominated the world. Unlike the legendary Age of Empires, this game not only focuses on historical wars but also incorporates mythological elements, allowing players to summon powerful gods and mystical creatures to fight such as Zeus, Odin, Poseidon, Minotaur or Kraken,…
The game has an interesting Campaign section, in which gamers will follow Arkantos, a powerful Atlantean warrior on his journey to save the world and fight against dark forces. Not only will you experience historical battles, but you will also explore mythical lands, encounter gods and write your own epic story.
Graphics and Sound
The Retold version brings a completely new look with a high-end 3D graphics platform, improved character models with more details and more realistic visual effects. The game’s landscape is also upgraded with beautiful lighting effects and can interact with the surrounding environment.
The sound in Age of Mythology: Retold has also been completely remade by the developers, including the background music and voiceover. The mystical music combined with the epic battle effects help bring players a vivid experience as if they were truly immersed in the mythical world.
Gameplay
Age of Mythology: Retold still retains the core formula that made the original version so attractive, but at the same time adds and improves many new elements, to better suit the modern generation of gamers. Basically, the gameplay of the game will still be starting in a small settlement, collecting resources such as wood, gold, food and divine power, then starting to build structures, train troops and fight enemies.
One of the most unique features of the game is the god selection system. Depending on the civilization you choose, there will be main guardian gods such as Zeus, Odin or Ra, and as you advance to the next era, you can continue to choose secondary gods to unlock special powers.
These skills can completely change the outcome of the battle, from summoning a Fire Dragon, creating a great flood, to blessing the army with supernatural powers. Each civilization will have its own unique fighting style and tactics, from the powerful fighting style of Northern Europe with Viking warriors and the ability to summon monsters to the solid defense tactics of ancient Egypt with giant statues of gods.
Age of Mythology: Retold offers a variety of game modes, including:
Campaign – Follow the story of Arkantos and the mythical wars.
Multiplayer – Fight with friends or other players around the world.
Skirmish – Participate in custom matches with AI or other players.
Arena of the Gods – A newly added mode, with challenging PvE battles.
Summary
Overall, thanks to the great improvements in graphics and gameplay, right after its launch, Age of Mythology: Retold received many positive reviews from the gaming community and critics. If you are a loyal fan of the real-time strategy game series, this game will definitely be a name worth experiencing in 2025.
