Age of Wonders III

Why can I write a review for a game I do not own?

Generally good game but weak because tier 4 units and some tier 3. If it can have option to turn all tier 3+4 off in production for players It would still be a great game today. But unfortunately, it's a bit broken and boring.

I hate that AOW 3/4 is 3d instead of the iso 2d, but ultimately a great game.

Unbalanced sandbox vs a campaign that disregards the mechanics of the game exclusively. It's not really very fun. It's as if the devs who made the game and those who decided how the player interacts with the game had zero communication.

Great game, and compared to AoW 1+2 it has just the right boost to graphics to make it look good by modern standards and in 4k, something i think the series really needed. All in all a worthy sequel, but unfortunately also the last in a great series, before Paradox stepped in and ruined every subsequent version with their usual endless stream of overpriced DLC's.

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.

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

Лично для меня одна из самых любимых стратегических игр. Играл во все части кроме 4.Так что опыт какой ни какой есть. Любителям похаговых стратегий рекомендую!
