Storyline

In a world where myths collide with mortal ambition, players step into the roles of legendary commanders who harness the favor of ancient gods to shape the fate of civilizations. The core narrative follows heroic figures like the Atlantean admiral Arkantos as he journeys across mythic lands, allying with Greek, Norse, and Egyptian deities while confronting cataclysmic threats from rival pantheons and the mysterious Atlanteans. Epic campaigns weave together tales of divine intervention, heroic quests, and world-altering conflicts drawn from timeless legends.

Expanded content in the Retold edition preserves the beloved original stories while adding fresh scenarios that deepen the lore, letting players explore the consequences of godly alliances and betrayals. From summoning mythical beasts to invoking cataclysmic god powers, the storyline immerses you in a rich tapestry of folklore where every decision influences the balance between mortals and the divine, creating a compelling single-player experience alongside dynamic multiplayer rivalries.

Gameplay

Age of Mythology: Retold delivers classic real-time strategy action with intuitive base-building, resource management, and army command across diverse maps and eras.

Mythical creatures such as minotaurs, trolls, and phoenixes add unique tactical layers, while rock-paper-scissors unit counters encourage smart army compositions and adaptive strategies.

Multiplayer modes shine with competitive skirmishes, cooperative campaigns, and custom games that support up to eight players, complete with ranked ladders and mod support for endless variety.
