Game summary

Published by Glu Mobile and based on the Microsoft PC licence expansion, it's a themed version of the main Age of Empire 3 game. Of course, you get to choose between the short Skirmish or long Campaign modes, with the action taking place across China, Japan, and India. Each civilisation has its own unique units, buildings and wonders, which you choose between to optimise your gameplay style. To test our your strategic skills, within Skirmish you can also play challenges such as Regicide, which places a king unit on the map, whom you have to find and kill.

Play Age of Empires III: The Asian Dynasties Mobile on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play Age of Empires III: The Asian Dynasties Mobile on a Mac is through Parallels, which allows you to virtualize a Windows machine on Macs. The setup is very easy and it works for Apple Silicon Macs as well as for older Intel-based Macs.

Parallels supports the latest version of DirectX and OpenGL, allowing you to play the latest PC games on any Mac. The latest version of DirectX is up to 20% faster.

Our favorite feature of Parallels Desktop is that when you turn off your virtual machine, all the unused disk space gets returned to your main OS, thus minimizing resource waste (which used to be a problem with virtualization).
