Once you’ve decided on a faction, the game offers you two modes to play: campaign or scenario mode. In total, the game offers players six different playable factions to choose from, each with a unique set of perks and drawbacks. Set hundreds of years after the fall of the galaxy’s central government, Star Union, each faction has had to find their own way to deal with the chaos that followed while a faction like the Vanguard immersed themselves in a centuries-long cryosleep, the Dvar used the years after the government’s fall to specialise in terrain manipulation techniques, allowing them to survive in harsh environments and sabotage their enemy colonies’ terrain. For a strategy game Age of Wonders: Planetfall offers beautiful visuals with a surprisingly layered narrative the game comes with a whole new set of factions, all of which have their own backstory.

The game is the latest entry in the Age of Wonders series and is the first Age of Wonders game set in a sci-fi setting. Age of Wonders: Planetfall is a 4X turn-based strategy game developed by Triumph Studios and published by Paradox Interactive.
