- As time went on, I didn’t get the sense that I was becoming better at the game so much as I was smashing my head into walls until they relented. And that’s a shame because Grand Ages has so much potential, and it does one thing--trade--really well. But there’s nothing to support that core, and the more you play, the more you run into roadblocks. For a game that needs to present information clearly and effectively, it fails to do so, and this failure has an unfortunate ripple effect on the rest of the game.
Daniel Starkey · Oct 08, 2015 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Grand Ages: Medieval is both deep and shallow at the same time, offering a detailed and interesting city development and trading system but letting itself down with shallow diplomacy and military options. A game where everything has been done before and, for the most part, better, it's a good time passer on the PC though something quite fresh and unique for the PS4.
Chris Wray · Sep 30, 2015 Reviewed on PCRead full review - While the lack of information can be a barrier, the controls on PS4 aren’t; menus are easy to navigate, time moves slowly enough that unit manipulation isn’t a concern and there’s even a handy ‘added info’ button to replace the tooltips on PC. Flawed it may be, but Grand Ages Medieval has just enough newness to draw in the PC crowd and is part of a completely under-served market on console, making it a fine option for those on PS4 craving more strategy.
gamesTM · Nov 22, 2015 Reviewed on PS4 - Grand Ages: Medieval can be thought of as an acquired taste (much like the fine wine I peddled around my Alpine trade routes). The mechanics are intuitive and work well, allowing players to get to grips with them and excel with enough practice and micromanagement. The game’s simplistic combat and relative lack of variety will probably mean very few come back to it after their first foray.
Alex Hamilton · Nov 16, 2015 Reviewed on PCRead full review - All in all, it's refreshing to see a title that focuses on trade and economics instead of battles and warfare. Grand Ages: Medieval shows assigning assets and constructing businesses can make for a compelling gameplay mechanic. With so few games in this genre available on the PS4, it fills the void adequately, providing an engaging experience that'll likely take up much of your time if you can get past the problems.
Jack Yarwood · Oct 10, 2015 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - We're glad Gaming Minds accepted the challenge and left their comfort zone. Grand Ages: Medieval does a lot of things right, and the presentation is nice. Although many elements could do with more depth and detail, none of what's here is unnecessary or annoying. A few areas will surely be improved with updates, as is usual in games from Kalypso. Other problems may need more work and may not be sorted until a sequel, but they're on the right path.
Martin Eiser · Oct 05, 2015 Reviewed onRead full review - Grand Ages: Medieval remains an acquired taste, but it’s certainly the most accessible game in the series to date. The trading mechanics are intuitive enough to avoid confusion, while remaining complex enough to encourage micromanagement and enjoyable risk-reward tinkering. Simplistic combat and a lack of variety mean that it begins to run out of steam by the end-game, but if you’re looking for a more relaxed approach to world domination, Grand Ages: Medieval is a perfectly solid option.
Nick Horth · Sep 25, 2015 Reviewed on PCRead full review - En fin, que Grand Ages Medieval lo tiene todo para enganchar a los estrategas, salvo si buscas un juego centrado en el combate. Su pausado desarrollo está mucho màs enfocado hacia el "politiqueo" y lograr establecer prósperas alianzas comerciales y además, se disfruta mucho más así. Y hay que aplaudir también su localización al castellano y sus intentos por adaptarse de la mejor forma posible a PS4.
Daniel Acal · Nov 16, 2015 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - Su gestión de recursos y su pasión por la economía como motor central de su estratégico planteamiento, nos ha parecido muy acertada y bien avenida, pues aporta una capa de profundidad pocas veces vista, al menos en consola. Consola -esto es, PlayStation 4- que recibe una adaptación muy buena, con una interfaz adaptada para la ocasión.
Alberto González · Oct 26, 2015 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - Grand Ages: Medieval es estrategia, literalmente, a lo grande. Un videojuego cargado de contenidos y cuyas partidas se pueden prolongar durante semanas pero que, por el camino, ha perdido también algo de atención al detalle y a algunos elementos de microgestión con los que podría haber sido un mucho mejor lanzamiento. Sin embargo, incluso con su desatención hacia vertientes como la variedad o el combate, sigue siendo una propuesta bastante interesante si nos atrae el género.
