You don’t really get the feeling that your colony is expanding all that much. It’s the expand X that is the most lacking. With interesting races, beautifully crafted biomes and interesting side missions. While at first you feel like exploring just another sci-fi world, the games exploration is deeper than expected. So, does Planetfall feel like a good 4X game? Yes, it does. You can see Triumph has put effort into this aspect of the game. So, if we go back to Jack Gelder and his missions for the Star Union, it is interesting to see his army move on the planet, it is a real treat to see his and his accompanying marines’ character models. The better you get at them, the more you’ll feel like a chess grandmaster. But, the tactical turn based gameplay is among the strongest points of the game.
If you aren’t really into turn based tactical combat, such as the Xcom games (or the upcoming Gears Tactics, we’re an Xbox site after all.) you’ll be able to skip every battle by autoresolving it. It is possible to avoid a certain aspect of the game completely. The heroes also help in distinguishing the armies you are using and the armies you are fighting. Besides standard units you’ll be able to use heroes, who have more advanced abilities. This way you can have multiple cities which helps your progress.Įach unit on the field is an army, which can contain up to 6 units. You can also create colonies by training colonists. The tiles on the map aren’t your standard hexagons, the team at Triumph has put a lot of work in making the planets you visit feel original and real. In this 4X game you’ll have to gain land by progressing your city similar to the Civilization games. In Age of Wonders: Planetfall you start out with a simple base and a small tile of land. There is a lot happening on your screen, with walls of text, fast paced turn based gameplay and a wide variety in unit types and races. Especially for people who don’t play 4X games and grand strategy titles each day. This game, made by Triumph Studios and published by Paradox Entertainment, can be a little overwhelming at the start.
