Age of Empires: Mythologies

System: Nintendo DS Release date: 06/02/2009

Prepare for your indoctrination to world domination and unleash the powers of the gods on your enemies in Age of Empires: Mythologies for Nintendo DS.

Inspired by the Age of Empires PC franchise and sequel to Age of Empires: Age of Kings for Nintendo DS, Age of Empires: Mythologies is a turn-based strategy game that puts you through the challenge of both nurturing a civilisation in three distinct ages and then using your military tactical prowess to become the most dominant force in the young world.

In Age of Empires: Mythologies, you take the role of hero and leader of one of three burgeoning civilisations: Greece, Egyptian and Norse. As commander, you’ll not only develop insurmountable armies, you’ll also be tasked with managing economic and scientific needs in order to promote innovation and to power your army.

As the name Mythologies suggest, ancient gods play a supporting role in the game, and you’d rather they shine down upon you in favour than have them as your enemy. With the help of the gods, you can speed up your research forays and gain special, mighty attacks such as the power of an earthquake, lightning storm or plague to help propel your army, especially when they run up against legendary monsters that no mere mortal can overcome.

When you’re not conquering the world, you can conquer your friends. Age of Empires: Mythologies features several multiplayer options, including play via Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. Using DS Wireless Communications, up to four people with Nintendo DS hardware and his or her own Game Card can strive for world domination on one of the game’s many battle maps and choose from plentiful options and game settings. If multiple players only have one Age of Empires: Mythologies Game Card, they can still enjoy a multiplayer battle either through DS Download Play or pass-around multiplayer, if there’s only one DS at your disposal.

Whether you dominate your friends or the finely crafted, challenging computer opponents, Age of Empires: Mythologies will determine if your strategy skills are legendary or forgettable.

  • With 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 Scandinavia.
  • The game features support for four player battles via local wireless or Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection and offers more maps, customisable rules and a new Skirmish Mode that lets players build their own custom starting armies.
  • For the ultimate in mythological power, players choose specific gods to worship and satisfy and use the gifts of the gods to tailor their strategies and play styles.
