While you won’t come across any high-brow missions or challenges, while playing Age of Wonders: Planetfall – Revelations, as the vast majority of quests revolves around ‘Kill X’, or ‘Do Y’, then such do ultimately spice up the gameplay, which otherwise would be borderline identical to one of the other strategy games – bar the combat. The said quests are not just available within the Revelations campaign, but are all in-fact accessible within both scenarios, and the sandbox mode.
In addition to the above, Age of Wonders: Planetfall – Revelations, as well as the base game, introduces quests, which allow you to increase standing with NPC factions, and earn trade-deals in return. However, if you happen to get tired of the turn-based combat, or simply don’t have the time to carry it through, then there is an option to simulate each and every combat encounter, meaning that instead of spending five, ten, or even fifteen minutes on a single fight, you can decide its fate with a single press of a button. Inclusion of more expansive, and hands-on gameplay mechanics allows the title to increase the player agency significantly, as instead of idly standing by, and watching pawns knocking at each other on a large hexagonal chessboard, one can play out all the battles in whichever way he/she wants. The biggest difference between the two, lies within combat, as Age of Wonders: Planetfall – Revelations, features turn based, X-Com’esque battles where both forces are placed on a battlefield and fight it out until only one is left standing. Just like in Civilization 6, or any other strategy game for that matter, you do so by gathering resources, building your civilization, researching new technologies, and ultimately conquering other factions. The core concept of Age of Wonders: Planetfall – Revelations, revolves around building your chosen, or as far as the campaign goes, pre-set faction’s presence on a planet.
In many ways, is just like Civilization 6, but instead of the historical setting, we have high-fantasy mixed with sci-fi, and Age of Wonders: Planetfall – Revelations’, despite of its smaller budget, offers much more in terms of gameplay than Civilization 6. And now, not so long after that, I’ve been given a chance to give Age of Wonders: Planetfall, or more specifically, Age of Wonders: Planetfall – Revelations a spin. Not so long ago, I had a chance to review Civilization 6, which is by far the best strategy game to ever grace consoles.
