I got a good chucke of of the minireview review for it.

Age of Empires Mobile is a fantastic real-time strategy game… oh, wait. Scrap that. This mobile version of the beloved RTS franchise has nothing to do with the original PC games. The gameplay is different, and the monetization is extremely pay-to-win. Unfortunately.

Didn't know it was also a Tencent production. Eww

I had a read over the rest of that review. Damn it was a good read. And sadly very, painfully accurate to my experience.
