Age of Wonders: Planetfall is a new strategy game developed by Triumph Studios, creators of the critically acclaimed Age of Wonders series, and published by Paradox Interactive. The new iteration brings all the exciting tactical turn-based combat and in-depth empire building of its predecessors to space in an all-new, sci-fi setting.
Setting[edit]
Emerge from the cosmic dark age of a fallen galactic empire to build a new future for your people. Build your empire with one of six unique factions, ranging from the militant Vanguard to the dinosaur-riding Amazons and the cyborg-zombies of the Assembly. Progress through each faction’s missions using your wits, military strength and diplomacy, exploring planetary ruins and encountering other survivors as you unravel the history of a shattered civilization. Fight, build, negotiate and technologically advance your way to utopia in a deep single player campaign, on random skirmish maps, and against friends in multiplayer.
Game features[edit]
