Age of Wonders: Planetfall

The campaign gamemode isn't that great, but the galactic empire mode is amazing. The fact that you can build an empire over time unlocking additional powers and abilities really adds to the replayability.

I refunded this after about an hour when it first came out. Coming straight from Age of Wonders III probably didn’t help, the shift to sci-fi, the different pacing, and the way systems were presented just felt off at the time. It didn’t grab me, and I didn’t feel like pushing through to figure it out. Got access to it again later and decided to give it another go after spending a lot of time with Age of Wonders 4, and it’s a completely different story. Once you understand how Triumph builds these games, Planetfall makes a lot more sense. The mod system, unit roles, and combat depth are all doing interesting things, they’re just not explained particularly well up front. What felt clunky before now feels more like a different design approach. You can also see pretty clearly how Planetfall feeds into AoW4. A lot of the ideas are here in an earlier form, especially around unit customisation and empire progression, just adapted to a sci-fi setting. It’s still not the most accessible entry point, and I think bouncing off it early (especially coming from Age of Wonders III) is understandable. But if you’ve gotten into AoW4 and are curious where some of those systems came from, it’s worth another look.

Need PlanetFall 2!!!!

After trying AoW 3 and 4, I can firmly say that this is the best one of the three. The maps all feel very different from each other, I always get the feeling that every city is unique, The combinations for race and secret tech give place to very interesting playstiles, and your troops feel endlessly customizable with the addition of mods. After playing for a while the other AoW games, I felt satisfied with them, but I never had the urge to someday return to play a game, unlike what I feel with this one from time to time.

Product refunded... Could not get past the developers account login screen. My email returned an error, password reset email confirmation just never arrived.

I gave it a try, but honestly, it just didn’t work for me. I didn’t like the factions or the unit designs, none of it really clicked or felt interesting. The interface was kind of annoying to use, and a lot of the tooltips were worded in a way that made things more confusing than they needed to be. I’m sure there’s a good game underneath all of it if you’re willing to put in the time and really learn how everything works. But the way the game starts just didn’t pull me in, and I don’t really feel like investing that time right now.

Игру проходил после Age of Wonders 4. И эта игра мне понравилась больше. Разные сочетания расы и секретной технологии реально дают ощущения уникального геймплея при каждом прохождении. Из минусов - игра ощущается растянутой сессионкой: зашел, сгенерировал карту, прошел задания - получил награду. Только катка растягивается на несколько часов-днейю Сильно выручает тут режим Галактической империи. Начинает чувствоваться глобальность происходящего + за прокачку империи получаешь неплохие бонусы для будущих прохождений. Озвучка дваров с русским акцентом - порадовала и улыбнула) После 4 части(которая мне не понравилась) с большим скепсисом начинал играть в Planetfall, но в итоге не пожалел. Игра затягивает и хочется возвращаться в нее и пробовать разные расы, карты и секретные технологии. Еще из минусов - на карте геймплей немного однообразен, одни и те же здания(в овновном), задания. Вся прелесть игры раскрывается в сражениях, которые тут даже к концу партии, не становятся слишком душными(в отличие от 4 части). Итог - рекомендую попробовать игру всем любителям стратегий. +балл за вайбы X-COM-а.
