## What is Age of Strategy?

Age of Strategy is a free pixely turn based Strategy Game set in the age of empires and knights, vikings and samurais, winged hussars and Templars and many more!

If you find any problem, write me so i can fix immediately!

Loads of campaigns, skirmishes and multiplayer games are waiting for you!

NOT a pay to win game! The in-app payment option is for speeding up progress.
The game is a retro-like 16-bit game, so it is not pretty and it has no fancy animations. This is a pure gameplay-oriented turn based strategy.

- Battle against or with real players worldwide!
- Upgrades section containing hundreds of new units, technologies and buildings openable with gems (Including some fun units)!

***UNIT REQUESTS***

There are many requests for new and unique units (eg. historical heroes), I am pretty open to this since it's pretty easy to implement a new unit. Please join the

forum, post there the idea and i will make it!

***IF YOU INSTALL IT***

- Please be kind with the rating, since the developer is me alone, and i plan to fix every problem and bring in new things! (eg. mapeditor, unit editor)
- Feel free to send me any suggestions concerning any part of the game (Gameplay, units, unit properties, new unit suggestions, graphics etc...)
- If you would like to take part in creating this game (eg. maps, graphics, translation, ideas) send me an email and/or join the forums/discord!

Amazing

### 3/5 — So slow 😴

*2025-08-11, version 1.025*

I like this game, but turns take FOREVER to play out, even after skipping the animations. You can expect waiting around 3 minutes per turn on a decently-sized map, even more worse as new units spawn in. It is so much faster on the Android version! Please optimize your game, then I will give five stars!

### 5/5 — It finally came to apple

*2025-08-08, version 1.025*

I played this on android and it was best phone game I ever played.

### 3/5 — Fun

*2025-07-26, version 1.025*

It’s great but the campaign is a little dumb, what am I supposed to do against an Aztec warrior that one shots my guys and has insane armour against melee and ranged despite wearing nothing but a loincloth, atleast try to balance them

-Edit- it’s the 3rd newbie challenge in the easy campaign

### 4/5 — RTS? Yes.

*2025-07-25, version 1.025*

Age of Strategy is a good game to kill time on. When I’m laying in bed I’ll be playing it. Haven’t beaten it yet but looking forward to it. One thing tho to make it better would be making the game run smoother after each turn besides that the game works perfectly good like any other RTS games.

### 5/5 — Шик

*2025-06-26, version 1.025*

Лучшая пошаговая стратегия которую я знаю, игре есть куда рости

### 4/5 — Perfect

*2025-03-06, version 1.024*

This game is amazing. I love everything about this game. The slower paced the strategy, the mechanics and it’s simplicity to use. If you have some extra time on your hands I definitely recommend downloading this game.
