0 A.D. has all the elements that made Age of Empires 2 unforgettable but it also adds its own brilliant touches while giving us that much-needed boost into the modern era with 3D graphics and controls that just work. Different from AoE 2, it loads blazing fast and everything about it is speedy.
I'm rating it 5 stars. While it may not be perfect especially since some elements are still incomplete, I've learned to stick to the completed civilizations, maps and other elements so for me, it's perfect.
wonderful artwork with a superb 3 renderengine in a thrilling build and conquer game
It is still in alpha, but it already has more depth and charm than most RTS games released in the last decade.
If you like this genre, you are obliged to give it a try.
The game has a fun gameplay but it lacks some features and has some performance issues.
Great Game with awesome Graphics. Just a FOSS Age of Empires, which is very good - and not too easy!
I always liked Age of Empires, when I migrated to Ubuntu I looked for a game of the same style and this one was a great discovery and honestly today I even prefer it
There is real like strategy Gameplay thought it is still not complete
