Alright, I have seen so many people struggling to download or gain access here or even know it exists. This will be a short post just to explain what to do. Note this game is not for free but you can play it for a bit this weekend to test their servers.

First you will need to request access via the steam store. Just look where you would buy the game and select the option.

You will the get confirmation in around 8 hours time or less that your request has been accepted. Once it has you can download and play the game, see below.

It should look like this (image below) once the game is finished downloading. I have played my first co op already to make sure that the game runs

Finally and most important, the game scans your hardware and will not allow you to play if you do not meet the requirements.

Any questions please let me know below.

Age of Empires 4 is a base-building, sword-clashing, village-pillaging RTS of the classic style, inside and out. Jumping into a match as the tenacious English squaring off against the chivalrous French feels like being transported back – not only to its setting of the High and Late Middle Ages, but to a different era of strategy games entirely. And there are some things about that which feel really nice, like comfort food for gamers of a certain age. But it's the few spots where Relic has taken risks here and there that this battlefield shows us its best and feels modern. Outside of that, it often just seems too careful and safe in a world where Age of Empires 2 Definitive Edition already exists.

If you've been sending villagers out to hunt animals, mine gold, and chop wood for decades like I have, you can slide right into the armored boots of most of Age 4's factions with no real fuss at all. Winning pitched battles reliably requires knowing the rock-paper-scissors relationship between spears, horses, and bows. A quick raid to murder some of your opponent's villagers and shut down their economy can be more strategically valuable than victory in any head-to-head engagement. Building walls and other defensive structures turns the late game into a tense chess match where map control is key, though eventually high-tech artillery like cannons will break the stalemate and lead to a decisive sweep for whoever fields them most effectively. The pacing is right where it needs to be when you're against an evenly skilled opponent.

I sadly was only able to play the test server version . I might come back to the game but i feel there isn't anything really new to the game. It just felt like a graphics overhaul.

Try today,
You can update Age of Empires with a new patch that includes a few high-profile fixes. The patch will correspond with build version. (viewable in your settings tab in the upper right corner in-game).

I will probably get a cracked version to try it out but if is was as sad as the test server i will not buy the game

no, no dear I do have not a problem with any game version,
You will PLAY any game version because everyone plays games for fun, entertainment purposes.

it looks like a pretty great game, graphics not quite as nice as AoE3 but a lot of the mechanics from AoE2 brought back.

I feel it is just very safe. They didn't experiment with something new.

Aww I was distracted this weekend and missed this.. I would have loved to play the test.

Oh don't worry it wasn't that great. CoD vanguard is still in beta tomorrow it ends

it also depended a lot on the type of gameplay you wanted, I personally felt vanguard's gun play was very clean and enjoyable but arriving late to the open beta made it unpleasant because of the grinding that other people had done to develop really op weapons

Thank you for the information❤

It is a pleasure. Sadly the test is now done today. @dragonslayer101 put out a post on what his experience was.
