Age of Wonders Planetfall Reviews
The science fiction setting puts a compelling new spin on Age of Wonders: Planetfall, with a lengthy single-player campaign and half a dozen contrasting factions to see rise from the ashes of the Star Union. There are some niggles I have on the console, but this is easy to recommend if you're hankering for a new 4X strategy game.
Thesixthaxis
Despite a collection of minor technical issues, Age of Wonders: Planetfall is one of the best strategy games on any platform this year, console or otherwise, and weaves a compelling tapestry of play within every layer of its design, including tactical battles that are so good, they almost seem out of place in 4X. It may not entirely escape the colonialist trappings of its genre, but it manages to sneak in a thoughtful twist or two as it indulges in a delightfully weird sci-fi reverie.
Gamecritics
Age of Wonders: Planetfall is a game on an epic scale in every sense of the word. Both a world-building strategy sim and a turn-based tactical RPG, Planetfall offers a wealth of content to keep players engaged for a long time to come. While some initial commitment is needed to get past the learning curve, playing becomes smooth and intuitive within a couple of hours. Armchair generals with a penchant for lasers, robots and mysterious planets will find plenty to enjoy in this tremendously deep title.
