Age of Wonders: Planetfall

Father of light. Father of death. Give us your wisdom, give us your breath. Summoner says that Jupiter is the loneliest planet.

Un très bon jeu avec énormément de possibilités différentes. Plein de combinaisons de clans/tactiques/doctrines/races/factions qui rendent la prise en main un poil compliquée au début mais le fond du jeu terriblement passionnant. On peut le refaire encore et encore, le mode campagne et conquête galactique offrent peut être une infinité de possibilités et une durée de vie éternelle au jeu. Bravo !

Puede llegar a ponerse un poco monotono pero juegazo si te la bancas

워크래프트3처럼 영웅 유닛을 성장시키고 워해머처럼 전투를 직접 컨트롤 할 수 있는 문명 같은 게임으로 정리할 수 있다. 이 영웅을 성장시키는 부분이 제대로인데 퀘스트를 수행하여 경험치를 쌓고 장비를 얻을 수 있고 다양한 스킬도 배울 수 있다. 그런데 게임의 직관성이 완전 저질인 탓에 신규 유저는 몇 시간 동안 똥꼬쇼를 해봐야 감을 잡을 수 있다. 튜토리얼은 완전히 기본 적인 것만 알려주지만 실제 게임에선 종족에 따라 유리한 전략을 따로 세워야 한다. 이렇게 정보가 부족하다보니 게임 난이도는 굉장히 높은 편. 인터넷에서 정보를 찾는 것도 힘들다. 그리고 전투 부분도 워해머를 기대하면 실망하기 좋다. 대규모의 병력이 꽝 붙는 개념이 아니라 문명식 전투를 작은 전장에서 구체적으로 한다는 개념에 가깝다. 유닛들의 전투 모션은 우스광스럽고 소리는 뿅뿅이 수준이다. 그런 주제에 전투 피로도가 높아 후반에 접어들면 전투 스킵만 돌린다. 또 완전히 새로운 IP라는 점도 걸림돌이다. <에이지 오브 원더스> 시리즈는 맞지만 독자적인 SF 세계관인데 등장 종족들의 매력을 보여주기엔 각 종족별 캠페인 분량이 달랑 2개로 너무 짧다. 여러모로 아쉬운 게임.

Gra dobra, choć już nie najnowsza. Ciekawe, czy i kiedy będzie Age of Wonders: Planetfall 2?

Hi, just to be clear, I started this game this year ( in 2025). My first age of wonders was age of wonders 4 (more than 300 hours into it). Wich could be my favorite game of all time. But I play several game in the process, and don't keep to one specific game in general, but I still like 4x in general. I wonder if I'm making this evaluation a bit too soon yes or not ( a bit more than 30 hours atm). This game is more directive than Age of wonders 4 : There's a campaign, yes. And you're stuck with a hero ( while you have an extensive choice in Age of wonders 4, and can even create one if you want to). One of the thing I tried here is the empire : I have conquered only 2 planets so far. Maybe it's cool, makes you want to try the hero you want to. Instead of being stuck with one in the campaign. But, I guess it will take quite some time. The campaign is ok. I found the "Jack Gelder" ( the first campaign and tutorial) not my type of guy : human ( I tend to avoid them in those game, or at least avoid the most generic ones). This game is totally worth a try, and you can get everything for quite cheap during sales ( wich I would recomend). Might want to try base game 1st if you want to try it. See if it's hit or miss. I'm very bad at it myself : I get all DLC and start from there. Keep in mind there won't be more DLC, wich is both a bad and good : the game won't see much evolution, but it's also easier to fix the budget. I'll stop to campare it to AoW4, thay are different games, both good, I'll say I still prefer AoW4, but I've seen player talk of this game as AoW's peak. I'd disagree. But won't argue, we're different players. One of the difference I can spot is that you can get more units in both games with technology/ knolwedge. With tomes in AoW4 ( in a cyclical manner, unlocking and choosing tomes along the game). While it's more linear in this game where there's a tree mixed with two culture ( your "race" and secret technology). In planetfall with this you can unlock secret operation ( a bit spell like), and equipment. While there's enchantment in AoW4 ( that boost specific units, melee are quite happy there). There's of course also different victory condition, and I did spotted some specific to the empire ones ( like one being getting rid of two specific allied warmongers, since there was 6 opponents / ally it's a nice option). There's also some specific to the campaign, so when you think you have to defeat those guys, you can also make the story progress. And there's also some choices to be done with the story.

Субъективно - не дня меня ! Объективно - игра годная !

Age of Wonders: Planetfall - Got this from Humble Bundle back in 2020 with six other games for 14€ i think(?) As someone who had played the third one in the series, i reaally had a hard time getting into this, maybe it was the scifi setting, the somewhat bland factions, the secret techs or the different types of damage types that i never really understood that really confused me. Maybe it was the fact that i started with the bore of a campaign that i didnt stick with Planetfall years back? But the truth is i do prefer swords, bow and magic more. But i dont think it was even this that didnt get me into this title in the series, i think its more the fact that i was not into the tactical combat it feels like a bore for some reason & its pretty advisable to do everything manually to get the best results so you kind of have to deal with it. Buuut the combat is super forgiving so if you automate the battle and dont like the results you can go in manually & in the tactical manual fights you can automate it to see what the AI would do and correct it. In addition to this theres the music/sounds/ambience that didnt hook me at all, especially in tactical battles the sounds felt so bland. Soo what did i enjoy in Aow Planetfall so much in the year 2024? Well the maps are highly detailed loved them, the hook of one more turn was very much present & doomsday weapons victory condition was a nice reason to go into the secret techs. There were factions like the Assembly, Syndicate & Amazons that i had not really played back in the day so got a better understanding of their roaster of units and playstyles. Maybe its the fact that i constantly feel like i am understanding and learning more with this game that keeps the "one more turn" mentality in addition to just painting the map in my color heh.
