Age of Wonders 4

steam definitely should allow "mixed" review instead of just recommending or not. the game, in singleplayer, is great. it offers so much customizability and you can play pretty much the way you want. whatever idea you have, you can create a faction around it. and its always funny having such a faction later randomly appear in a campaign, or have someone from it recruitable as a hero. but the multiplayer is completely unplayable. constant desyncs. constant reloading. and after a point you end up in a situation where I wait on my friend making a decision, but said friend never receives this decision taking thing. and the campaign is stuck. sure, we can reset the round and SOMETIMES it resolves. but most of the time it doesnt. and even if it would resolve it, the problem is that it happens SO OFTEN and we simply don't want to replay the same round 20 times. as i mostly want to play this with friends, i have to give this a not recommended.

I've enjoyed this game a lot. When you make a faction there's a ton of customizability compared to other strategy games. How you build your faction, what tomes you go for to progress, and what you prioritize changes the flow of the game tremendously so there's a lot of room to do things right and do things wrong. Choices matter. As someone who loves to fiddle with builds, this game is a ton of fun. It does have the vampiric monetization that plagues civ type games, however, so it's hard to fully recommend. Pretty much always if you're going for a thematic faction it could be greatly improved with a tome or ruler type from a DLC. You might make a Shadow/Order vampire faction with Thrones of Blood like I did, for instance, and realize that the Tome of the Revenant from Archon Prophecy would go hard and really help pull things together. You might make a faction based on battlemages, and realize that the Tome of the Tentacle from Eldritch Realms is insane for battlemages. It's very easy to get drawn into buying a bunch of DLC like that because you want your faction to feel good to play.

$217.90 USD for the game and all current DLC.

По скидке самое топ! Хотели эльфов-каннибалов на единорогах? А гномов-некромантов, которые поднимают скелетов прямо на огороде? Здесь можно всё, и это одновременно восторг и приговор вашей личной жизни.

[h1]It's Just a Mobile Game[/h1] The developers have tried to add interesting concepts to draw you in, but underneath it all feels cheap and empty. I gave it about an hour, but I only developed a headache. It felt like I'd paid for a freemium mobile game you could download from an app store, just without the ads. After an hour of gameplay, I decided to refund the game.

Un 4X incroyable. Très bon gameplay et une incroyable liberté dans la création de sa faction et dans la mise en place de son arbre technologique. Je recommande.

Всем советую. Игра недооцененная

This is a mediocre game. It was "OK". After fully exploring it, I'm left feeling that if I never played it, I wouldn't be missing anything. Too much DLC, and even on sale isn't worth the price. The whole game loop is about 10 minutes, over and over again.

The combat in this game is amazing. It's what things like Wartales could've done better. The customization of the factions and your ruler is great. The monsterdesigns and details are made with great care. It's the perfected Heroes of Might and Magic.

Щось середнє між Цивілізацією та Героями, ближче до останніх. Дуже цікаве створення своєї раси з подальшим RP, білдів десятки, від благородних добряків до темних негідників і кожен буде по своєму сильним. Це дає розмаїття ігрових стилів для кожного. Некваплива покроковість гри дозволяє просто чілити і насолоджуватися нею. Покрокова бойовка на гексогональному полі битви також навіває теплі спогади про Герої ІІІ (хоча на мій смак, поле бою можна збільшити десь на 50-75%). Непогана дипломатія, хоча все одно бот продає по х10 а купує за безцінь. По бойовій системі: атвторозрахунок пічальний і краще у вирішальних бітвах грати ручками, невіть при великій перевазі. Загалом компютер воює як і в усіх таких іграх на середньо-низькому рівні (навіть на екстремальному рівні складності боїв). В підсумку гру рекомендую, вона унікальна по своїм механікам та контенту. 9/10
