As a game that has been popular for 20 years, the "Age of Empires" series has gained a large number of loyal players all over the world. Since the release of "Age of Empires 2: Definitive Edition" last year, calls for a remake of "Empire 3" have become louder and louder. Just yesterday, "Age of Empires 3: Definitive Edition" was finally officially launched for sale, and it was logged into the Phoenix Mall at a price of 99 yuan. Through the information revealed by the master who received the trial invitation, it can be seen that "Age of Empires 3: Definitive Edition" This is not a "high-definition reskin" game. After this reset, the game retains its original excellent gameplay while also adding some exciting new content, creating new tricks.

The game adds two new game modes: historical campaign and art of war challenge missions, including all previously launched expansion packs and all 14 civilizations, plus two new civilizations, Sweden and the Inca.

The Art of War challenge mission is actually a collection of large-scale novice tutorials. This mode presents the necessary operations in the game in the form of levels to help new players quickly become familiar with the game.

Historical battle is the core and fun new mode of this game. In the historical battle mode, there are a total of six battles that actually happened in history, and we play the role of the commander of one of them to control the direction of the battle. The campaign is divided into three difficulty levels: standard, medium and difficult. Each battle has its own characteristics. After the battle, there will be a clearance animation to explain the historical significance and status of the battle.

In terms of gameplay, the game retains the original game features: phalanx combat.

Phalanx combat emphasizes the strategic coordination between arms. The wonderful use of different arms on the battlefield gives players the pleasure of arranging troops. Of course, the formation micro-management to adapt to different arms has become the threshold of the game, and mixed formation operations slightly increase the difficulty of the game.

It can also be seen from the leaked pictures that the high-definition materials and modeling in the game, as well as the light and shadow effects of different units, are all lifelike. Adhering to the concept of paying attention to details in the original game, "Age of Empires 3: Definitive Edition" uses details such as the trajectory of the cannonballs after they are fired, the debris when the building collapses, and the wood chips splashed by the battleships, making the entire battlefield appear more realistic.

Not only the picture quality, but also the original soundtrack has been completely remastered. The remastered Chinese dubbing is no longer Taiwanese, but very authentic Mainland Mandarin. Different from the original version, the dubbing in the Definitive Edition has a sense of age and emotional ups and downs, and the language and artistic conception of different civilizations are more realistic.

"Age of Empires 3: Definitive Edition" is undoubtedly another emotional game, but in terms of quality, it not only works hard on visual performance, making the game screen 4K and remodeling, but also on the UI, Core areas such as numerical balance and operation have been optimized to keep pace with the times and new game content has been added.

In short, it does not stick to traditional classics, but also stirs up new ideas. If you are a loyal fan of "Age of Empires", then "Age of Empires 3: Definitive Edition" should not disappoint you!
