Age of Empires DS 2

THQ has been showing off its brand new Nintendo DS title and sequel, Age of Empires: Mythologies.

Mythologies, instead of going for a more realistic approach will pit the player against a whole variety of mythological beasts and monsters. There are 3 Civilisations to play as this time, with the game spanning over four environments including Greece and Egypt.

Developer Griptonite will be taking the lead this time, and is a sister company to original team Backbone so will do plenty of sharing and maybe wife-swapping.

Mythologies is being built from scratch and boasts much more detailed graphics that are said to avoid the cluttered and problems with often-indistinguishable units of the first.

The game will also feature multiplayer action, both local and Wi-Fi based, as well as crisper animation, better visuals and smarter AI, a perfect pocket RTS then.
