Age of Wonders III

I just like this kind of game (round-based fantasy tactical combat with magic and cool characters. I've played Master of Magic, then AoW 1 and AoW2. AoW III follows in their footsteps (with better graphics obviously).

Никогда не запускайте эту игру на часик перед сном. Слышите?! Никогда! Просто не надо. Поверьте.

very fun if you like turn based strategy games, i could go through a 10 hours gaming session on this while barely getting bored, i actually find myself coming back to the age of wonders franchise often, it's like that two week minecraft phase.

Menuda mierda de juego ,No es la primera vez que Paradox deja un juego sin soporte a hardware y sofware mas moderno hasta que es casi injugable me ha costado la vida poder conseguir abrirlo sin que se cerrara nada mas darle al play , lo he conseguido activando la compatibildad con Windows 8 solo para poder siquiera conseguir que arrancara sin que se cerrase solo despues de 30 minutos buscando en 10 foros de como abrirlo y por que el fallo ademas de contar otros fallos internos, como que una partida guardada se corrompa sola , y se que no es por recursos de mi PC teniendo un RTX 3060 , un ryzen 7 5800x y 32 gb de ram , es que el juego esta optimizado por unos orangutanes retrasados y eso que es del 2014 y ademas lo he intalado tanto en mi disco duro HDD de 1 tb y en mi SSD

Серия игр Эпоха чудес горазда лучше чем захайпеная Герои, хотя после 2 части разработчики начали просирать все полимеры, ориентируясь на более продаваемые циву и героев, но куда более слабых стратегий!

Definitely yes, I'll play this again. Looks like I bought this game on a whim and then left it alone for 6 years, until now. A bit surprised that it is turn-based, but I enjoyed it. Did the recommended tutorial campaign and steam-rolled through the first 2 chapters. Expected the 3rd chapter to be similar, but got absolutely rekt. I'll get my revenge, some day... Not entirely sure about the 4000 yen price point on an 11 years old game that has a well-rated sequel at less than twice that price, and an even better rated prequel at less than half the price, but in a vacuum I'd say 3000 yen would be a fair price. Might be worth picking up at a discount.

Amazing story, good mechanics - simple and elegant. What I like a lot is the fact that the game's different features manage to increase the complexity of the gameplay exponentially not linearly - an uncommon feat. I like the combination of styles and lore drawn from various fantasy worlds, many elements seem rooted in generic fantasy tropes, but the result is far from trite. It is not exactly beginner-friendly, and if you don't know what you are doing the campaigns could seem nearly impossible even on normal difficulty, but once you learn the ropes it becomes fairly straightforward to devise an effective strategy. The story, despite the lack of cinematics or immersive cutscenes, is very rich. I particularly enjoy the mission briefings—the artwork and dialogue before each mission are amazing. The voice acting is incredible—some of the best and most expressive I’ve ever encountered in a game. The visuals are also stunning—many images are worthy to be put in a frame. Despite the fact that AOW3 is a sequel, its story is simple to comprehend and doesn't really require any past knowledge to understand it at a meaningful level. Some missions are quite long and way more difficult than others and some could be repetitive, but nothing too bland. Depending on who you ask, this might be the best AOW game, even better than AOW4. I am not really sure witch is more amazing, but it is certainly the most elegant, and it delivers the story in the best way, witch weigh heavy for any game. In both aspects, it is far superior to AOW4. Age of Wonders 3 is iconic to the 4X genre. The game is very good, if you have some patience, like strategy, empire building, high fantasy and a good story it's a must-play.
