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.
Players can perfect their combat strategies in intense turn-based battles featuring a large cast of customizable units and destructible environments. The combat system allows for a variety of tactics and unit combinations, with each faction having unique units and abilities that enable different approaches to combat.
The game features factions such as the militant Vanguard, the dinosaur-riding Amazons, and the cyborg-zombies of the Assembly, each with their own distinct playstyles, units, and technologies. This diversity encourages players to experiment with different strategies, as the rock-paper-scissors-like interactions between the factions add depth to the decision-making process.
Players can steer the future of their colony with a mix of technological advances and social development, balancing factors such as environmental impact and military strength. The progression system includes unlocking new technologies, improving heroes, and customizing units, providing a sense of ongoing development and replayability as players build and expand their empires.
The game world features lush landscapes, wild wastelands, and overgrown megacities to explore. As players uncover the history of the fallen galactic empire, they will encounter rival factions and discover hidden technologies, adding an element of mystery and discovery to the gameplay.
Players can achieve their end goals through conquest, diplomacy, or the use of doomsday technologies, allowing them to approach the game in a way that suits their preferred playstyle. This flexibility enhances the replayability and depth of the experience, as players can experiment with different strategies to secure victory.
