Published by Majesco in 2006, Age of Empires - The Age of Kings carries the medieval setting of the celebrated PC series over to a turn-based strategy format on a hexagonal board, structurally much closer to Advance Wars than to the real-time gameplay of Ensemble Studios' original games: units are recruited, resources managed, and battles fought turn by turn across campaigns spanning several historical civilizations.
It's a rarity within the handheld's catalog: few PC strategy franchises of that caliber received such a direct DS adaptation, which makes it an object of curiosity for anyone following the saga beyond its mainline entries.
