Sans doute le 4X le plus complet du moment. Un jeu qui permet des théorie builds de nos civilisation qui est juste dingue. Tout les mélanges sont possibles et tout est puissant dans ce jeu, mais l'optimisation de quelques détails peuvent réellement faire la différence. On peut passer des heures à consulter l'encyclopédie pour chercher chaque petit bonus qui mettra en valeur notre stratégie. Le système de combat est toujours aussi complet. Il est un peu rebutant pour les débutants mais c'est un vrai plaisir de jeu une fois maitrisé ne serait-ce qu'un peu. Je le recommande de toutes mes forces !
"i could play AoW4 again, was nice on launch!" "Sure, we added 10 DLCs to buy in for the cheap price of 100 bucks" instantly no interest in coming back
Crashes 99 times a minute. Absolutely unplayable at the moment. Other than that a good game.
Game keeps crashing in campain. I simply can not play the game. Launcher now even stuck on error message and does not let me start the game. I have updated everything and tried multiple workarrounds. How can they releace such buggy crappy game......
Everything is so piecemeal and it has the paradox problem where DLC doesn't build upon eachother like a brick house, it's more of a hub & spoke model where each piece of DLC seems to lead into a different direction.
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
[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.
I really enjoy how much the game allows you to make your own faction. Both in the Faction creation where you pick traits, rulers, civilization type and so on; and in the game itself when you pick your tomes to choose how the game plays out. It really allows you to get invested in the game and adds tons of replay value.
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.
If you are not looking at a loading screen due to people being out of sync in mutliplayer, you will be looking at your desktop wallpaper. Why? Cause this game loves to crash so much that mutliplayer is literally unplayable
