A disturbing dream and an invasion or two call him away from his home to join the fight against the city of Troy. The single player game tells the story of Arkantos, the leader of Atlantis. Using three rich mythological legacies - Greek, Egyptian and Norse - Age of Mythology finally offers a place where mythological creatures contend with mighty heroes with timely support thrown in by attentive gods. The big change here is that Ensemble leaves behind the world of historical conflict and moves on to invent a new world of myth.
It's effectively the same mechanic that Ensemble, Blizzard and Westwood have reduced down to a science. Players must build towns to gather resources to produce armies to conquer their enemies.
In fact, Age of Mythology is much more polished and gripping than any of their previous efforts.īut like I said, they didn't change too much of the series' core principles. And while Age of Mythology isn't a big enough departure to qualify them as a two-trick pony, the refinement and sophistication of the title should put to rest any fears that they've strayed too far from their established models. But until now, Ensemble's been a one-trick pony. Their Age of Empires 3 series has long been one of my favorites, not just in the RTS genre, but for gaming in general.
