What it is

Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition is a remastered real-time strategy game set in the Middle Ages, where players build and manage a village, gather resources, train military units, and wage war against computer-controlled or human opponents. Gameplay is entirely non-violent and bloodless, with no sexual content, profanity, substances, or gambling. It includes online multiplayer and a Steam Workshop for custom content, and sells paid DLC and a high-resolution texture pack.

How it's framed

The game frames warfare as strategic conquest and empire-building, presenting historical military conflict in an abstract, tactical context without glorification of violence or cruelty.
