Age of Wonders 4

Age of Wonders 4 and Planetfall are both great games. I like Planetfall a bit more. Upside compared to planetfall are -just more of everything. Spells , units , Sub Factions ... if you buy the DLCs -campaign maps no longer have carry over effects. (it never broke the campaign in Planetfall but still caused issues) Downsides compared to planetfall: -Ranged units cannot shoot at close range nor easily disengange (and the combat maps are small ) -Hexfields on world maps are very small. That many hexfields per province dont add any gameplay. Unlike planetfall that makes it hard to play on small screens (Steamdeck, small Laptop) -No galactic conquest mode after campaign, "only" single maps (there the carry over is a motivating advantage) -The research tree being a huge number of spell books needs a better overview so that you can plan it better. -High Quality of DLCs for both but it feels Age of Wonders 4 DLCs has less content. (i.e. Factions in Planetfall had more content per faction than the average Age of Wonders 4 faction) Note: At the time of writing i own about 3/4 of the DLCs. So some features of the newer DLCs might not be considered.

Best strategy game I have ever played until today! It is very nice that the game keeps having new stuff and free updates, it shows how much they love the game and the players!

fun

Sehr viel Optik, jedoch wenig Inhalt. Hinter all den blumigen Worten stecken nur Werte, die offensichtlich rauf und runter gehen. Die deutsche Übersetzung ist zudem ein Graus.

Amazing 4x game tuned for roleplaying. Near infinite replayability on single player with consistent updates and great incremental dlc

is good

great strategic turn-based game with a lot of depth and variation in both battle and city building.

Multiplayer is ♥♥♥♥ from technical side, don't recommend if you want to play multiplayer Balance and optimization is also poor I would say that the game is still enjoyable if you have enough patience for rewarding progress

Honestly a fantastic game, I have had incredibly little problems with it. It is incredibly well polished and has some amazing story to go along with well written lore that is experienced through game cut scenes and in game dialogue. Some reasons to buy the game will go as followed: 1. If you like RTS games, this is for you. 2. If you enjoy making your own factions, race and character to lead that very faction or race, this is for you. 3. If you enjoy making builds that can be considered meta or fun gimmicks, this is for you with the variety of things the game offers. 4. If you like having multiple ways to achieve a victory if you find yourself behind militarily. This is for you. Ultimately this review is very much glazing. From my time playing the game I have completed the entire base story campaign and working through others from the DLC's. I have had a great amount of fun and I have been met with incredibly few problems or game crashes, visual bugs and so on. The NPC's in the game can be very easy to deal with or provide an incredibly difficult challenge depending on how their Empire is built or how your own Empire is built. NPC armies have proven to be incredibly intelligent in how they often use their armies.
