Description
Based upon Ensemble Studios classic
Age of Empires II: The Age of Kings, this latest addition to the 'Age' series shifts it from its real time strategy roots to a DS exclusive turn-based strategy title, though the same goals still apply. Command and rule.
Using the DS touch screen, players must guide their chosen Empire in a series of battle campaigns, utilizing a number of units, strategies and hero units in battle, while also constructing a town to provide new units and upgrades.
Five different civilizations are available: Britons, Franks, Mongols, Saracens and the Japanese. Each has a select hero unit, for example Richard the Lionheart, Minamoto Yoshitsune, Joan of Arc or Genghis Khan, who all provide a number of advancements during battle.

Trivia
It was discovered that a fatal, cart-bricking bug has slipped unnoticed into the final version of the game: Whenever the name of your DS is 3 characters or less, the game corrupts the EEPROM and crashes even before displaying the title screen. From this point on it will no longer boot, even on a DS with a longer name, unless the cartridge's EEPROM is wiped clean.
