Age of Mythology
You can’t really get more mythological than Age of Mythology, an RTS title entirely based on the pantheons of Greek, Egyptian, and Norse Gods. This Age of Empires spinoff features a wealth of different mythological creatures, heroes, and gods, with three different playable races, one for each major mythology. There’s a surprisingly engaging story mode as well that follows the Atlantean hero Arkantos as he makes his way through the world and respective mythologies, fighting off a world-threatening evil.
Age of Mythology uses its subject matter incredibly well, crafting some fascinating levels, especially in The Titans expansion. For example, one level has you fending off a giant ice titan as long as you can in order to summon the Nidhogg, a legendary dragon, to take it down. Age of Mythology is every bit the equal of Age of Empires II, and if you’re looking for an experience deep with lore and strategy, it’s the perfect pick.
