Disappointment to be honest. The graphics alone are not worth the price.

LOL people needing validation. Game is fantastic as it is! you own 600 games, majority you havent touched yet you complain about the price of a great rts game thats remade with new and improved graphics as well as QOL improvements? so silly.

I've replayed the original 4-5 times and I'll say that the new graphics don't make it better. At least for that price.

The new campaign was by the way but it is not there

Yeah I get what you mean, but then people wanted a revival of this venerable game, not a a continuation.

Overall the original still plays pretty well. I don't understand why they made another remake instead of a sequel.

Yes but the pathfinding was horrific which really hurt gameplay and MU's in particular. Also the chinese dlc introduced some atrocious design choices that needed reverting.

If the game does well I am sure we may see a continuation of the campaigns and who knows maybe even a sequel.

The graphics aren't the only thing that changed. Even though it might not look like that from videos, i can assure you the game feel is wayyy better than the original. Battles, godpowers etc. are more satisfying to use, and the entire game feels even more fast-paced and chaotic, while also being pretty balanced for a game that came out a week ago. Plus, if you buy the premium version you also get a new major god (with more to come in the future), and the first two expansions (each one giving you a new civ, and possibly even new campaigns) for free as soon as they release

Probably yes, but I still think about returning the games now and buying them at a discount in the future.

There is too little new in this remake.

Things changed in Retold:
- Reusable god powers (first use free, repeated use costs Favor, cost increases with each use, Attys seem to have their first two GPs for free)
- Favor is now uncapped
- All newly added units from Extended Edition removed (i.e. no Greek healer anymore)
- Special attacks from Myth units can be triggered manually so they don't potentially waste it at a less valuable target
- Atlanteans now generate favor by scouting with Oracles
- Norse now build Ox Carts with Collectors/Dwarfs
- Changes to some Myth units (e.g. Hydra now regenerating health when upgraded or Scylla being a common Greek unit)
- Greek heroes now train at the same time as villagers and have an additional ranged attack vs flying units

Upcoming content:
- Reworked Chinese
- Unknown Pantheon

Literally a new god, new powers, new age etc. It's not a bad deal for $30

The game was remade (not remastered). It takes a lot more work than just "better graphics". Its updating the engine, creating new models and animations, creating new physics, re-designing game mechanics, re-balancing all the civilizations, re-casting all the voice dialogs for all vocal lines, remastering the music with orchestral composition, along with other things I am drawing a blank on right now. This isn't just the best looking Age game yet, it's the best playing and most fun. It also has at least two guaranteed new civilizations (including a well made Chinese civilization and not the one from Extended Edition). To top it all off, the base game is $30. Not $60+dlc, not $70+dlc, $30+dlc. For a masterpiece game that was remade into a bigger masterpiece. If that doesn't warren't the price tag, then you must be living in some delusional world.

It is a remake, not a remaster. The game plays like a sequel.
Way worth the price. Play this and most people will not be able to go back to EE.
