I know there are people out there who will disagree with me, but I think the game’s visual style holds up just fine almost a decade and a half later. In fact, the game’s pixilated art style is one of its most charming elements. The “HD” in the game’s title is a bit deceiving, as what we’re given here isn’t what we typically think of when we hear the term “HD upgrade.” That’s not to say the textures haven’t been upgraded-they have-but the game is still completely built around isometric pixel art. Wait, I should probably clarify that statement a bit. Now, though, Age of Empires returns to a previous decade, as Age of Empires II was recently given a high-definition makeover. These changes to the series made a lot of people (including myself) sad. ![]() Of course, AOE Online does a lot to pull the series away from its roots, adding MMO elements and giving it a more cartoony visual style. More recently, I’ve been spending quite a bit of money on Age of Empires Online vanity items, mainly just to assuage the guilt of having pirated AOE3 all those years ago. In fact, AOE3 is the game that opened my eyes to how enjoyable it is to control dozens of tiny little soldiers who murder each other in the most adorably violent of ways. Sure, my social life suffered for that week, but it was one of the most incredible gaming experiences I’ve ever had.
