Vrai RTS de bonhomme
Great campaign, but the multiplayer was too focused on building troops fast enough and rushing enemies. Age of Empires 2 has more fun player-vs-player dynamic.
This game is the combination of several incredible factors into one thing, RTS, mythology, simplicity, fun and more.
Everything a game needs.
Everything a game needs.
I always thought of this as Age of Empires' goofy brother. Very cool idea and a new engine that, although it will never look better than the pre-rendered graphics, I have to admit that it helps a lot with the storytelling factor of this game.
Es una version mas simple del Age of Empires, pero en mi opinion bastante mas interesante y divertido por la tematica y las caracteristicas de las tribus.
Prostagma
Se pra mim Age of Empires II é um dos melhores RTS de todos, Age of Mythology É o melhor de todos, esse jogo é maravilhosamente gostoso de se jogar, cheio de variedades de heróis e mobs para se usar, mapas e mitologias extremamente conhecidas e boas de se ver na prática, e por fim com uma história que definitivamente existe, mas que em RTS's num geral isso nunca foi o foco. Definitivamente um dos jogos que mais marcaram a minha infância.
El modo historia esta buenisimo, las escaramusas son una poronga
Magnífico

Glorious game from the good old days.
Back when I was little, Age of Mythology and its expansion, defined my childhood. I could never beat Age of Empires II because of its difficulty, but somehow, Age of Mythology offered me a fair chance. Its presentation, game mechanics and atmosphere were unique at the time.
Right from the start, the ancient Greek theme of the game attracted me and the mission design, the peaceful music and the gorgeous graphics, made a big impression on me.
In Age of Mythology, you play as three different cultures. The game revolves around the hero Arkantos, an Antaltean war hero that has been ordered to assist the Greek in their fight against the Trojans. Before his departure, the Trident of Poseidon gets stolen. He retrieves it and sets sail to Troy. He assists the Greek, rescues the Centaur Chiron, and the war is won, however his ship is damaged too much for the return trip home to Atlantis.
Arkantos learns of many prisoners that are being held in the underworld, which has been opened via an entrance, that was been built by prisoner slave labour, by the Cyclops Warlord Gargarensis. Arkantos and Chiron destroy his base of operations and pursue the Cyclops, which escapes via the Underworld. Arkantos eventually ends up in Egypt, via one of the Underworld Entrances.
Arkantos learns the motives of Gargarensis, which is achieving immortality through freeing Kronos. This must be stopped at all costs. He sides with the Egyptians and together they must find the scattered body parts of Osiris, which is powerful enough to stop the Cyclops from achieving his goal. The parts are found, Osiris is summoned and destroys Gargarensis’ entire army. The beast himself however, escaped yet again via the Underworld entrance.
They pursue him towards the Nordic lands and are greeted by the hostility of the Norse God Loki, who deceives and tricks the local chieftains to attack Arkantos and his men on sight. After the trickery is discovered, the Norsemen side with Arkantos in pursue of Gargarensis and track him down in the Nifilheim, the Norse underworld. A glorious battle takes place and Gargarensis is captured and beheaded.
Arkantos sails back to Atlantis, only to discover that Loki struck again and the head of Gargarensis is actually that of Kemsyt's, the general of Gargarensis. The Cyclops is still alive and is closing in on the prison that holds Kronos. Zeus, who has observed the mighty deeds of Arkantos, grants him God like powers and with his new skills, he initiated the final battle with Gargarensis and defeats him. He dies however because of inflicted injuries, but is revived by Athena, who makes him a God.
Just epic.
The campaign was a lot of fun and I enjoyed every mission. Of course, the various cheats were hilarious and back then, it was just unrealistic and mind-blowing to see a bear with a Canada cape shooting lasers out of its eyes, appear out of nowhere after stroking some keys in a textbox. The same goes off course for the car in Age of Empires II.
I really enjoyed the changes of scenery and units in the different cultures throughout the game. Details like the native language the units speak, the many cryptids and units of legends like Centaurs, Anubis and Minotaur’s, really enhanced the experience.
When talking graphics, this game looked/looks amazing. Units and buildings are very detailed and the landscapes and maps are so colorful and alive. The move and combat animations of the units are also spot on. Back then, I thought Age Of Mythology was one of the best looking games I played.
The sound and music is also a piece of art. The calm ambient music is very memorable and is perfectly fitted for the culture that you are playing in that mission. The sound effects and voice overs for the units are also spot on. It is sound design at its best.
Control wise, the game plays identical to Age of Empires II, but a little easier. I cannot explain why exactly, but I just thought the interfaces and tutorial were a little more “noob friendly”.
Overall, this is one of those games that takes me back to my childhood, a happy time without worries. Just me and Age of Mythology. It will always remain a classic and one of the better games I played back then.
Definitely recommend this gem.

My favorite RTS game of all time
Vim aqui para mudar meu Review, joguei novamente a campanha desse jogo e bem não tem palavras para descrever o quão bom é esse jogo, pra quem gosta de RTS é um jogo indispensável, a campanha se passa dentro de 3 mitologias sendo elas a egípcia, grega e nórdica, todas com suas criaturas e seus monstros únicos, além dos personagens principais da campanha que se passam por personagens conhecidos dentro dessas mitologias, um ponto a se colocar para os jogadores de RTS sim o online do jogo é bastante movimentando tal como o competitivo e sim para os brasileiros de plantão que curtem, existe sim uma comunidade de brasileiros de jogam e competem, então além da história envolvente temos também um bom online para se jogar.
Age of Mythology (2002): Un ¿Spin-off? de Age of Empires más que bueno. Simplifica muchas cosas y pierde en profundidad, pero a nivel mitológico es tan interesante que te da igual. Un gameplay realmente brillante y una campaña amena y entretenida. No es AOE II, pero casi (9,10)
The best in the series! Played it many times growing up, all the campaigns are so fun and I finished them all. Playing it again as an adult is sadly not that much fun but it remains an amazing game that made me interested in mythology, spending endless hours after school on the family PC.
Lo retomaría en la Extended Edition.
Honestly my favourite Age of game. Love the God Powers and the way that settlements force you to think about your territory.
Played this as of 2021, for the first time, during the pandemic and the lockdown. Very addictive in the first hours but gets repetitive after a while. Nevertheless, it's very charming with its buildings, clans, races, powers. It's really one of those games that stays in your mind.
I absolutely love mythology so this might be the best game of the series for me. Love Egyptian mythology the most.

O jogo parace ser muito bom mas eu sou muito burro pra esse tipo de jogo e acabei dropando
One of the best games of all time. Fight me.
influencia do meu pai
Age of Empires with a mythological flair! Nice!
OH THIS BANGER IS MY WHOLE CHILDHOODDDDDD
Jogão, horas e horas da minha infância assistindo meu irmão jogar, e também jogando. Anos depois, peguei o CD que tínhamos, reinstalei e sempre que voltava da escola jogava. Bons tempos.
Amazing RTS game
melhor RTS de todos os tempos, jogo desde os meus 8 9 anos de idade e sempre me diverti muito, mistura das mitologias na mecânica de age é uma receita infalível de sucesso.
A espera ansiosa por um remake ou então um age of mitology 2 é real

era MUITO divertido
The campaign for AoM is so damn good. Puts the Odyssey to shame.
It's also the only Age of game I'm reasonably competitive with. I'm a filthy Ra main. Camel spam is life.

age of mythology is goated i will die on the hill that its better than the empires series
Goated. Game shows it's age a lot but so fun
I played Age of Mythology in 2013 with three of my co-workers. After we finished our job and went back home, we played together, and it was a lot of fun. I fell in love with this game. I found it very similar to Age of Empires, which is my favorite game of the genre. Age of Mythology had its own unique features that I enjoyed. I don't think I've played it since then, but this game holds a special place in my heart.
