Item Description

Zeus hurling lightning across a grid map on a two-screen handheld is a pretty great pitch, and Age of Empires: Mythologies lives up to it. Griptonite Games and THQ took the mythic flavor of Age of Mythology and rebuilt it as turn-based tactics for the Nintendo DS in 2008, using the engine behind Age of Empires: The Age of Kings on DS, and the result is one of the smartest strategy games on the system.

Three civilizations, the Greeks, Egyptians and Norse, each get their own campaign, and they play very differently. Egyptians are balanced, Greek units are expensive but powerful, and Norse armies are cheap but win by numbers. You manage your resources to build and recruit, advance through three ages that unlock stronger units, and lead heroes whose special powers recharge over several turns, so timing when to unleash them becomes a puzzle of its own.

The mythology is where it shines. Devotion to your gods becomes a weapon of its own, letting you summon myth units drawn from Greek, Egyptian and Norse legend or call down god powers such as lightning storms, earthquakes and plagues. Myth units slot into a rock-paper-scissors balance with heroes and human troops, so a well-timed monster can swing a battle while a careless one gets swarmed. Unlockable content adds plenty of replay value beyond the campaigns.

Quick battles let you pick any civilization outside the campaigns, and local multiplayer lets friends battle wirelessly or pass a single DS back and forth between turns. Picture Advance Wars with gods, heroes and mythical monsters in the ranks and you have the idea.
