Alright, I think I’m almost done with this game already, lol. But I did find a Vampire Survivors-esque mode which was unexpected. XP on the ground, random abilities, chests from elite mobs, and ability morphs when combined. Crazy.

Age of Empires Mobile is a very pretty game. I love the art style and the hero gacha scratches the gambling itch. *but* It still suffers from the ick I get from mobile game timers & a really busy UI. Gameplay is very different from a real AoE but I am kinda enjoying building up my little city.
