Отличная, продуманная, интересная, увлекательная стратегия с огромной реиграбельностью, НО!! Отвратительное качество сетевой игры по направлению стабильности и соединения. Кооп есть, но играть в него не возможно. Есть возможность играть только на серверах разработчика, но они конченые, играть не возможно. Все вопросы отпали бы, если бы разраб дал возможность создания локального сервера. Итог. для соло игры топ, для коопа в данный момент кал.
Didn't like the game
I think the game is well done, it's a fantasy civ. and that's it... If you like civ you might like this too but imo there is no motivation to play, no pleasure or satisfaction. It's uninspired and nothing surprises me. The game simply does not offer a challenge that i want to accept.
It is incredible how nice to play this game on a handheld with SteamOS. Mine is not Steam Deck, but Legion Go S, so can't vouch for Deck performance. Controls are very nice. I think it's a rare game of this kind of complexity that doesn't require you to sit in front of a computer.
Непозволительно часто зависает и крашится, вернуть не успел, о чем жалею.
Age of Wonders 4 taps up against a lot of the things I love about PC gaming. It became a bit of a lifesaver for me when I became disabled by chronic daily migraines with vertigo, as that condition makes most of the games I used to play very difficult for me to handle anymore. This game not only allows you to go at your own pace, picking up and playing a bit here and there while making measurable progress toward goals you set for yourself along the way, but it also scratches the worldbuilding itch for me in ways a lot of other games of this kind don't. I love Civilization 6 a lot, too, but this game's variety and encouragement to express the player's imagination, creating not only unique rulers but the very species and cultures that they lead, makes this a D&D nerd's dream come true. Highly recommended.
I don't know what this game has against multiple cities, but it's stupid. You get penalties for having more than three? Not very 4x of it. This has been a trend in some of these more modern games to try to minimize how much you play. It's stupid. Instead of creating good game mechanics, they create bad mechanics and then penalize you for wanting to play the style of game this was designed to draw you in for. It's just another bad variant of Master of Magic. It almost lets you customize things in a fun way. It almost lets you sit back and enjoy things. It just spends soooooo much time trying to find ways to punish you for anything interesting so it's just meh, and unfun. In this particular game, it's unfun because there are just too many layers of things that all do the same things in different ways. So you have a bunch of similar mechanics that sit next to each other, via the expansions. It makes it look like you have a bunch of great options, except they all look pretty much the same after awhile. Just a bunch of repeats, really, ordered up a little different. Not a lot of imagination. Just a lot of copy cat stuff from other games, groups, and organizations that they couldn't even be original about.
Just another Game that upon release, adds more content that improves the game that they make you pay for.

Игра - супер. Много интересных механик, процесс игры не наскучивает и в целом, если рассматривать игру, сугубо в формате сюжетки против ботов - мне нравится. Однако, игра имеет возможность игры по сети, что я ценю кратно сильнее в самой игре, ведь времяпрепровождение с друзьями, сражениями против общего врага или с друг другом - вселяют в любую игру ещё больший спектр положительных эмоций, чего уже не скажешь об онлайне AOW4. Вы столкнётесь с невероятным множеством рассинхронов, крашей, пропавших армий и откатов. Именно онлайн, должен был сделать из игры лучшее, что можно было найти в такого рода сфере стратегий, но именно онлайн её сделал неиграбельной.
