The mobile version of Age of Empires, which will be released globally for smartphones in August, is now available in some regions and we’ll show you how to download and play it.
If ever there was a strategy game, it’s Reigns. The first of the saga was released in 1997, and since then, especially the second (Age of Kings) has become the chapter that began to fill the current cyberspace with players. Two more volumes followed, III in 2005 and IV ten years later, in 2021. Also, a fascinating edition (Age of Mythology) focused on the mythologies of various civilizations.
But there was a project to adapt the game to a mobile version for years, but it fell by the wayside until the Chinese company Tencent got the rights to bring the games to smartphones. The Asian giant behind titles such as Call of Duty Mobile, Naruto or PUBG got its act together and revealed the first trailer a few months ago with the Age of Empires Mobile game, announcing its release in mid-August. In the year 2024
But as usual, before launching the final version worldwide, companies usually publish their products in certain regions to see their acceptance and get feedback from players. In fact, after completing the Age of Empires Mobile tutorial, we can do a survey that rewards us with the more coins we spend in the game’s digital store. And as we said, the first version of the game was released in France, Germany, Turkey and Indonesia.
How to download Age of Empires Mobile for free?
The first thing of all is to know that it is only released on Android, so iPhone owners cannot try it at the moment. With this in mind, we have to do the following.
Download Age of Empires Mobile APK from popular repositories like APKPure. Enable the possibility of installing unknown applications in the settings of our smartphone (it asks us when we try to install apk). Once installed, we need to download and use a free VPN, such as Windscribe, choosing France as the server to connect. We enter Age of Empires Mobile, wait for it to update and select the French region. Once we enter the game and finish the tutorial (the first missions we have to fight the barbarians) we can connect our Google or Facebook account to save our progress. Once the game is installed, using a VPN will not be necessary because when we start the game in the future, it will allow us to choose the French region and we can play normally.
Is the Age of Empire Mobile or the Traditional Age of Empire?
The answer is short. Although there is a lot of interest in the classic strategy game, we are faced with a version adapted to the present, with many of its own features and, as expected, with popular micropayments that make us visit the digital store. However, it offers hours and hours of fun and strategy whether playing alone or with friends through alliances.
The gist is there, but we’ll have to see how Tencent Games develops Age of Empires Mobile to see if it distances itself too much from the classic version, or if it decides to go for what fans of this saga want. For years. In any case, since the game uses a free play system, anyone can try and come to their own conclusions.
