Age of Empires: Mythologies

Product Description

Inspired by the hit PC title and built on the game engine behind the critically acclaimed Age of Empires: Age of Kings, Age of Empires: Mythologies will be the ultimate portable tactical strategy game with its refined gameplay, inspired design, fantastic multiplayer, and extensive replay value. Age of Empires: Mythologies for the Nintendo DS is a compelling new turn-based strategy game that challenges players to shape the destiny of three unique cultures in a fantasy world filled with mighty heroes, legendary monsters, and powerful gods. Players will lead their Egyptian, Greek, and Norse heroes to victory by raising massive armies, waging war, exploring new frontiers, and advancing through three distinct ages that offer fantastic new units, abilities, and god powers like lighting storms, earthquakes, and devastating plagues that players can call on to smite their enemies.


  • Three Unique Playable Civilizations: Command Greek, Egyptian, and Norse armies in an epic struggle for supremacy.
  • Three Unique Single-Player Campaigns: Players will besiege the ancient city of Troy, battle amongst the pyramids of Egypt, and explore the snow covered mountains of the North.
  • Divine Powers: By choosing specific gods to worship and satisfy, players can tailor their powers and explore a variety of strategies and play styles.
  • Expanded Multiplayer Experience: Supports four player battles via local connection or Nintendo Wi-Fi and offers more maps, customizable rules, and a new Skirmish Mode lets players build their own custom starting armies.

**** NOTE *** in this review I will be comparing Age of Empire: Mythologies to the Age of Empires: The Age of Kings both are Nintendo DS versions. My thought process is if you liked the original you will have interest in the sequel.

Age of Empires: The Age of Kings is my favorite game for the Nintendo DS. In fact, it is about the only game that I play on a consistent basis. The problem is that I have beat the game dozens of times and I have been eagerly awaiting a new challenge. Age of Empires: Mythologies offers me new albeit slightly modified challenges.

The differences- (I am listing just a few)

- Age of Empires: Mythologies lack the overall depth of Age of... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Very fun and enjoyable strategy game for the DS, February 26, 2009

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.

5/5

5.0 out of 5 stars A Fantastic Sequel to an Already Great Game., January 23, 2009

This review is from: Age of Empires: Mythologies (Video Game)
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... Read more
