Age of Empires: Castle Siege, cross-platform real-time strategy game was announced for Android earlier this year, ages after launching on Windows, Windows Phone and iOS platforms. As promised the game has finally found its way to Android platform, but it is available only in Australia, Vietnam and Canada.
“This soft launch will allow us to further expand the testing of our server client architecture in preparation for our worldwide release,” said the company. Developed by Smoking Gun Interactive and released by Microsoft Corporation, the game is easy to learn, but hard to master allowing the beloved franchise to be accessible to mobile players.
The game allows players to create an empire and guide it through the Medieval Era, commanding their own troops in battle as they defeat other empires. It has full control of all units during the battle creating a deeper RTS experience. High-level strategy challenges players who can earn achievements, prizes, and climb to the top of the leaderboards.
The game is developed in Smoking Guns’ proprietary cross platform engine, so no matter what platform you play on, your data is always saved to the cloud, making it easy to pick up and play Castle Siege across Windows platforms, iOS and soon Android devices.
