“Downloaded the demo for the second game. Played it and loved it. I bought the first and all expansions for it, it is now on sale for less than I paid. I am ok with that, it is fantastic so far. It is worth it for the…”

“Overall, a relatively fun RTS. It was exciting to amass huge armies to just throw at my enemies. The campaign scenarios were interesting enough and quite challenging even at normal difficulty. If you like giant armies,…”

“It is too bright and too colourful, it is often too clunky, I don't like the art style, story so far is below the average etc. - HOWEVER - the gameplay is absolutely SUPERB :) So definitely thumbs up with hope that AOFS 2 will improve on things already mentioned and more while…”
— a player, Steam review · 48 hrs played“What the Game is A very solid RTS focusing on macro gameplay. The game features based building, and epic scale battles. Its AI is extremely competent, a very powerful adversary which will offer a worthy single player challenge. The game offers a very well made army reinforcement…”
