The game’s main objective is for players to develop and protect their bases before launching an attack to defeat their enemy. Rise of Nations: Rise of Legends has both a single player story mode as well as an online multiplayer mode.

The Vinci is a faction that specializes on technological advancement and relies heavily on steam engines, clockwork contraptions, and gunpowder weaponry. The Alin relies heavily on magic and is capable of controlling giant scorpions, salamanders, and dragons. The last faction, the Cuotl, uses a balanced amount of magic and technology. Rise of Nations: Rise of Legends features unique gameplay elements such as various city districts that provide bonuses for the player, as well as special units such as Master units and Hero units.
