Looks like a bad mix between AoC and AoM imo.

How would it be, since they didn't exist yet?
I'm going to play some AoE DE for the nostalgic value. The campaigns, mostly. I played some yesterday and I noticed they didn't even improve the pathing, which I expected they would have improved at least a little bit. I also expected the AI to be smarter, but it doesn't seem to be. Maybe that's all for the best though, there is somehow a certain charm to it.

Pathing is np just make centurions. You only need 1 to kill their entire army and town anyway

Right now the rating is 2.5 on the Microsoft Store. But it seems that most of the complains are about the game not even starting, so it may improve over time.

People are gonna be comparing it to modern RTS and if you do that it's nothing to write home about, sure. It's no Knights and Merchants.
