But be aware that in terms of writing, the game doesn't try to do anything special.Publisher Paradox Interactive said in a statement that Invasion is set to be “the most expansive addition” to Planetfall. It's not a massive deal for me considering I love the combat encounters these quests typically lead you to.
For the most part, the game sends you on fetch quests, which isn't that interesting. Just don't expect to have a great time if you try to avoid all combat actively and focus on being diplomatic.Īnother problem is that the quests the game tasks you with during the campaign are bland in design. Thankfully, it does at least feel more fun if you choose a style that focuses on switching between tactics and strategy. And there's a lack of variety in your options when upgrading the bases you establish, which directly butts heads with the nuanced layers of the tactical combat. There isn't nearly as much depth in negotiating an alliance with foes instead of blasting them to smithereens. The core issue with it is that it's just not that interesting. While the tactical side of Age of Wonders: Planetfall is fantastic, the strategic half of the game is where problems arise. The developers have included a procedural generation mechanic for replay value when starting a new game, too, and they've even added mod support.Īge of Wonders: Planetfall's strategic side is lacking. When you throw in the fact there are six different races to choose from, the fun never ends. Being able to create cohesive battalions like this is an absolute blast. Each of these armies are effective, but if you bring both of them into the same battle, their strengths cover the other army's weaknesses. For example, one of my armies is built around sniping, while another is a mixture of hardy melee fighters and cover-hugging riflemen dedicated to holding a front line. You can even customize each unit in each army you have, giving you the flexibility to create specialized troops. With a complex set of rules that dictates how melee combatants interact with ranged opponents to a dizzying amount of different abilities and skills units can learn, there's nearly no end to the different approaches you can bring to fights. The amount of depth to the combat is crazy. The tactical gameplay is incredibly complex in all the best ways.
