Empire Earth II
Review
2025-08-18
Imagine you have a roll of Mentos in your left hand labeled "Civilization" and in your right hand a 2-liter bottle of Coke labeled "Age of Empires". You drop the Civilization-Mentos into the Age-of-Empires-bottle and then you stick your mouth on the end. What happens next is called Empire Earth.
It is a mess, it is chaotic, but lord help me if I didn't enjoy tech-rushing, amassing a giant army of tanks (the unit count was so high!), and just dunking on the AI's spearmen.
??? 2021?
Supposedly people didn't like this one as much as the last one but I had a blast. It's basically what if you mashed up Civ with Age of Empires. An RTS with different tech eras. While it felt overly simplistic in a lot of ways I still had a ton of fun just playing bots in skirmishes, bum rushing the tech tree and then steamrolling with my teched up units on their old tech. Good shit.
