In turmoil, different factions make a move for gaining control of the many planets in disarray, no matter the cost. The game is available as a Standard Edition, a Deluxe Edition with a deluxe theme, two cosmetic packs, and a scenario planet, or a Premium Edition that includes all of that as well as the Season Pass, which will unlock three expansions at a later date.Īs for the setup for Age of Wonders: Planetfall, the Space Union, an intergalactic government, is no more. With its 20th anniversary on the horizon, the studio and Paradox Interactive have decided to release Age of Wonders: Planetfall on PlayStation 4. like in a traditional RTS campaign.The Age of Wonders turn-based strategy series got started way back in 1999 when the first game from Triumph Studios was released for PC. I can gush all day, but bottom line is that it's all beautifully written, but doesn't have a hardcoded storyline.

Also end game crisises - for example war between two formerly dormant fallen empires with technology levels far beyond anything the rest of the galaxy can put out, or a literal Tyranid swarm arriving to eat everything from beyond the dark space. There are precursor races events, planets have archeologial digs filled with ancient secrets, giant space creatures fly around, nano-plague from the closed off sector of the galactic network breaks out etc. you get machine rebellion if you build synths without giving them rights (Or you can be a machine empire yourself and go Skynet on the rest of the galaxy), or one of your planets becomes a haven for augmented people who start seeing themselves superior to the rest of your race due to alterations they went through. Story events happen from interaction between empires or certain paths chosen - i.e. You create your own space faring race and empire with whatever system of government you want.
