I did not want to review Dawn of Ages, but due to a quirk in PressEngine, I have to. The reason being, the game is a free to play mobile game ported to PC. It has full microtransactions and a well stocked store. :
Dawn of Ages bill itself as a strategy game. Build your city states and lead your armies into battle. However, Age of Empires 2 Definitive Edition this is not. Age of Empires is a legendary series with games that stand the tests of time. This game will probably be forgotten by next week. For one thing, the only strategy involved in the battles is picking a tacticard at the beginning, which will give a certain boost. Otherwise, start the battle and hope for the best. The real game is outside of it.
You have troops. You can equip troops with weapons and armor, and upgrade those weapons and armor. You also have a commander that you can will upgrade with skill points bought with premium currency. That’s really as far as you have control over the battlefield, the strength of the troops you field. Dawn of Ages is a mobile game at heart, everything is automated for you.
There’s a town in Dawn of Ages, where you collect resources and upgrade important buildings(with increasingly long timers). Its a standard mobile game affair. I could on describing the game, but you get the point. This is a mobile game on PC, and with real strategy powerhouses on PC, like the aforementioned Age of Empires series, why the heck would you play this? There’s no reason to. Even if you don’t give the game a dime, you’re still playing a ho-hum mobile game on PC. Dawn of Ages gets a Not Recommended with a five score.
Overall: Dawn of Ages is a mobile game on PC, and with tons of strategy game powerhouses on PC, no reason to play at all.
Verdict: Not Recommended
Score: 5
