Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition

Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition is a strategy game, released to mark the 20th anniversary of one of the most popular strategy games ever made. The store page presents it as a remake of that landmark title, with stunning 4K graphics and a fully rebuilt original soundtrack. It spans 1,000 years of human history and lets you explore the full original campaign line along with the expansion content that fans loved. Developed by World's Edge, Forgotten Empires, CaptureAge, Tantalus Media, Wicked Witch and Feral Interactive, and published by Xbox Game Studios, it presents the classic formula in a modern package.

The goal the store description points to is a journey to dominate the world, and you pursue it by choosing one of 35 civilizations and setting out on the path to your own greatness. Single-player play centers on the campaigns, and the game is tagged as playable at your own pace, without the need for quick reactions, with the ability to save at any time. Multiplayer is a major part of the package, since you can challenge other players online, over a local network, or cross-platform, and co-op modes let you team up with friends. Recent additions include a battle royale mode, a quick match option aimed at relaxed social play, and interface refinements.

What stands out is the amount of content. Beyond the base campaigns, The Last Khans adds three new campaigns and four new civilizations, and the Western Dominion DLC brings more new civilizations and campaigns. Ongoing updates promise events, new content, new game modes, and continued support for the scenario editor, while the included level editor lets you build your own scenarios. Accessibility options such as adjustable text size, alternative color options, adjustable difficulty, and a mouse-only control option make the game easier to pick up.

Steam currently labels Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition as Very Positive (極度好評), with 95% of reviews positive across hundreds of thousands of reviews. That combination matters, because the label reflects both the share of positive reviews and the total volume. A high positive percentage backed by a very large sample suggests the praise is broad rather than coming from a handful of early fans, and players have been consistently satisfied with the game overall.

For a prospective buyer, a range like this usually signals a title that delivers on its promises for the vast majority of players. A 95 percent figure still means some reviewers were unhappy, so it is worth reading recent reviews on the Steam page to see whether their concerns match your priorities. Small review counts are less reliable because a few reviews can swing the percentage, but that is not the situation here. The label reflects player opinion about the game itself, not a judgment on the current price, so weigh the value separately.

All prices here are Taiwan Steam store prices in NT$. The game is not free to keep right now and is not on a tracked discount, with its current price at NT$ 1088, the same as its regular price. That NT$ 1088 is also the highest price we have recorded.

The lowest paid price we recorded is NT$ 380, logged on June 26, 2026. Discounts have been frequent in our record, and the deepest cut we have seen is 65 percent. We have not recorded a free-to-keep promotion for this game, so there is no free offer history to consider.

Because our price record is still short, this verdict is tentative. The latest price sits well above the lowest price we logged, and since discounts have been frequent and reached 65 percent, waiting for a sale is a sensible choice if you are not in a hurry. If you want to start playing now, the campaigns, expansion content and multiplayer offer a lot of hours, so buying at full price is also a defensible decision.

1. The game is not free right now and is not on a tracked discount, so the simplest route is to buy it from the Taiwan Steam store at NT$ 1088.
2. If you prefer to wait, add Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition to your wishlist from its Steam store page.
3. Turn on Steam's wishlist sale notifications in your account settings so you hear about price drops as soon as they happen.
4. Check back here for the price trend, since we keep tracking its discounts and will flag any promotion we see.
5. When the price suits you, complete the purchase through Steam and confirm the game appears in your library.
