"Overall, Age of Empires definitely brings enough to the table and captures enough nostalgia to make it an easy recommendation for any fans of the franchise or the genre. For gamers new to RTS, the Story Mode and campaigns actually make it a very strong choice for diving in as well, as long as they aren’t expecting cutting-edge graphics. The fact that the game is going to be available on Game Pass Day One could potentially help expose a large new audience to the franchise and build up some new fans. It will be very interesting to see what kind of reception it receives and, if its successful, what sort of post-launch content could arrive in the coming year to keep the community hooked and engaged."

About
Age of Ishtaria is a mobile strategy RPG that lets you chain moves into custom combos. Each battle revolves around positioning and timing as you mix offensive strikes with defensive tactics. You control a roster of units with distinct abilities, using their strengths to outmaneuver foes in turn-based combat. The focus is on adapting strategies mid-fight rather than grinding stats or collecting endless items. The game stands out for its detailed artwork across over 400 character designs and a narrative framed through poetic voiceover lines. While combat mechanics are straightforward, the emphasis on unit synergy and environmental hazards adds depth. Launched in 2014, it maintains a niche following for its visual style and tactical flexibility. Available on Android and iOS, it plays like a handheld-friendly board game with a dark fantasy twist.
