Why not download it via the repos ? 

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:wfg/0ad
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install 0ad

then in the command just type 0ad

Nope, but it appear in the package manager.

Try to see if you can find the install files. Maybe it got corrupt. If you do find them, lauch binaries/system/pyrogenesis.

When you try to install with apt-get, do you get any error messages?  I'm not familiar with Debian-based distros (I use Fedora.) but you can try:

apt-get list 0ad

and if apt-get is anything like dnf, it should either list it as Installed or Available.  You might also consider asking on a support group for your distro because this might be an issue with your package management software.

Kali is designed as a penetration testing distro it might not have all the bits and pieces installed to run 0AD so you might have to try a different distro. What was the output in the terminal when you issued the 

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:wfg/0ad
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install 0ad

it should have asked you if wanted to install some extra packages if it did not then I doubt that it was really installed have a look with your file browser at /usr/games the first file should be 0ad a launch script for the game if it's not there the game did not install period.

 

Enjoy the Choice
