What players say

It's Age of Empires II with a Star Wars skin. That's really all you need to know.

Negative reviews are personal problems... This game runs fine. I'm on Win10. SURPRISINGLY a good port for once, since the CD version doesn't work on Win10. There is no memory leak. There is no crash after 15-60min. There is no video error. No third party patch was needed; it was ready to go on fresh install. Skill issues are not valid reasons for negative reviews kek... Thanks for letting me enjoy my childhood again.

Don't buy this, you'll be wasting money on literally nothing. This and AoE2 were two of the greatest games ever made. Sadly this is now an unsupported, literally unplayable POS. You have to install third party apps just to get it to run, and even then that is only sometimes. Now my game doesn't even play. Wish they'd give this the treatment all of the AOE games got. Just sad how bad this has become.
