Press reviews: “Empires Apart is a very capable game […] It does feel a bit like Age of Empires, but its focus on multiplayer and lack of content may put a lot of people off. If you liked the gameplay provided by Age of Empires, you should definitely take a look at Empires Apart” 8.0/10 – “Empires Apart is both a good spiritual successor to Microsoft’s classic and a good game in its own right, delivering a very capable experience that successfully brings most of Age of Empires mechanics into the modern age. If you liked Ensemble’s iconic series then you should definitely take a look at this game” 4/5 – “An extremely entertaining product if you want to play it online, characterized by well designed factions” 8/10 –
