Age of Wonders: Planetfall

(micro-review)

Genre: "4X turn-based strategy";

Release date: 06-Aug-2019 ;

Overview:

Age of Wonders: Planetfall is the new strategy game from Triumph Studios, creators of the critically acclaimed Age of Wonders series, bringing all the exciting tactical turn-based combat and in-depth empire building of its predecessors to space in an all-new, sci-fi setting.

Features:

Tactical Turn-Based Sci-Fi Combat

Perfect your combat strategy in intense turn-based battles featuring a large cast of factions, customizable units, and destructible environments.

Discover a Rich Science-Fiction World

What secrets will unfold when you uncover the history of the fallen galactic empire? Discover the fate of the Star Union by exploring lush landscapes, wild wastelands and overgrown megacities. Encounter rival factions and discover hidden technologies long forgotten in abandoned places.

Planetary Empire Building

Steer the future of your colony with a mix of technological advances and social development. Will you create an environmental paradise or a perfect military order?

Multiple Paths to Victory

Achieve your end goals through conquest, diplomacy or doomsday technologies.

A Multitude of Game Modes

A deep single-player story campaign alongside random map generation makes for endless replayability. Try new play styles in skirmish mode, and play multiplayer your way - online, hotseat, and asynchronous!

This game is a pretty decent combination of “Civilization” and “Heroes of Might & Magic” but in the end the devs didn’t manage to give it enough soul for it to be a truly outstanding game. Tactical combat slows down the flow of the game a lot (luckily there is auto-combat) and units don’t have enough personality; not to mention that the defenders can’t retreat. And for a game such as this, the terrible wiki is definitely a minus.
