March 2025
I've played Aow 3, Planetfall and AoW 4. This game might be the best one, especially if you like the sci-fi theme. The developers put a ton of thought into the game mechanics. I'ts by no means perfect, but there's a ton of replayability and various strategies to use. if you like tactical combat, you can really outwit your opponents. Nothing is quite as satisfying as winning a fight where you are outnumbered and outgunned because you use good positioning and conserve your resources better.

I should have written this reivew a long time ago. Age of Wonders: Planetfall is a great game. A interesting twist on Age of Wonders with is new Science Fiction setting (with some more fantastical elements like Psionics.) It is a game that still looks great in my book. One of the best looking 4x games still in 2025. Has a lot of interesting faction. And if you want Age of Wonders, but a bit more directed. A bit more constrained then Age of Wonder 4, then this is a good option. The two games play diffrent enough that I find this game still interesing even if I like Age of Wonders 4 to. So if you missed it, get it! The very fact that I when back to this after Age of Wonders 4 should show that this is still a strong game. And I love Age of Wonder 4! (Oh and at this current time there is a lot of chines reivew bombing of this game. Has nothing to do with the game. Just hate directed at the published of this game. Should mean they own the game however if they are leaving reivews. So cool... Maybe they should go and play game instead and become a bit more happy.)

After 100 hours of both games I can say I much prefer Planetfall than Age of Wonders 4. There are so much way to customize each separated unit in your army and it's quite fast and painless to do so. The only downside of this game is the outdated UI and UX.

This game is really fun to play, even though it took me long time to invest the right time into it, to understand my ways. You dont need any mods, its rich of story and the turn based fights are very fun. I like the different approaches of the different races and their style to win... or loose the game :-) In a sale its pretty cheap to grab and it will grant you alot of hours of fun. One point feels really cool and remind me on the AOW series the most - levening up the heroes and their equipment! Its amazing to see how they get stronger and attain an enhanced playstyle with a developing skilltree. Thumbs up, you cant really fail on this one.

This game may not be to everyone's taste due to its exotic mix of fantasy and sci-fi. The scenarios are varied, as are the units and hero developments, though some elements feel a bit unbalanced. The story is rather meager, but the empire development is all the more exciting and motivating. The ability to make new developments and build up your empire gives the game significant replay value. The learning curve is relatively high at first, but you quickly grasp the essentials (thanks also to the wiki). The difficulty level is moderate for turn-based games, though creating your own AIs, for instance, can make it very challenging. If you are looking for a turn-based game with construction and research along with separate combat mechanics, this game will serve you well.
