But it departs from the highly successful PC iterations in what can possibly be a bid to appeal to a newer and therefore younger crowd.
If you're new to the RTS genre and the world of touch gaming, AoE: World Domination has "guide missions" to teach you the basics. World Domination also expands on the "Hero" roster afforded to its earlier click-based ventures: Joan of Arc and King Arthur are among a hundred other special characters available in the mobile game. Just like the original PC adventure, you will have "technology trees" to advance your civilisation. The Age of Empires franchise is undoubtedly one of the most popular real-time strategy (RTS) games - alongside Starcraft - having sold 20 million copies worldwide over the years. With the availability limited to select regions, the game has been 'soft-launched', and wider availability can be expected at a later date. You can choose from eight civilisations - namely Britons, Celts, Chinese, Franks, Huns, Japanese, Saracens, and Vikings - and decide to "relive" famous historic battles, engage in empire building and so forth. The game comes from Singapore-based developer KLab Games and is produced in collaboration with series owner Microsoft.
It is available for both Android and iOS, via the respective stores in select regions. Age of Empires: World Domination, the second touch-based release of the popular video game franchise, has finally seen the light of day and is now available to the public after being announced over a year ago.
