Age of Wonders: Planetfall

Overpriced DLC.

My mistake was getting into AoW:4, then giving this one a chance right after thinking it would be a similarly exciting experience. Having Planetfall sit in my library for awhile now in the Technology catagory, wanting to get into it but never getting around to it. There probably is a lot of potential, but honestly it is too alien to feel satisfying.

I didn't find the combat very compelling so was bored basically the entire time I played. The enemy combat AI isn't very good. Units have a very short shooting range so you spend most of your time just trying to move units to cover, which is easily destroyed anyway. It's unclear what angles are affected by cover.

great game to learn and play

It's simple for a 4X game, but it's strength is in the tactical combat. Unless you figure out how to break it. For example by only using Snipers that can take out enemy squads before they get into range. Even though I liked the game at first. After the first two missions, when I had learned how to play the game, I quickly noticed that the AI apparently never did the learn how to play. It is decent in the tactical combat, but on the strategical map it is atrocious. My personal breaking point with this game came in Mission when i was building a doomsday device to win the mission after 10 turns. The AI quickly noticed that I was building it and openly denounced me in the diplomacy screen and soon all other factions declared war on me. Even though the process from building to counting down to 0 took atleast 20 turns the AI didn't attack me even once and patiently waited until I destroyed the planet. The AI just isn't proactive at all and just waits for you to clean up the map. It has defense forces, but when you take them out it's done for. Even if it recovers, it may never retaliate. Also the variety between factions is actually lackluster. You have different faction with different units and different damage types. But for the most part every faction has the same roles of units like melee, ranged, support, artillery and so on and they all feel too familiar. The neutral factions actually make that feeling of sameness worse in my opinion. Because they reappear quite often between missions and give you the same upgrades and units every time. So you quite quickly know everything there is to know. Overall, I don't regret the 46 hours I put into the game. But I won't play any more either.

66.99 for this game? for real? it's a decent game..but worth that much? not on your or your cats life is it worth that much
