    Age of Wonders: Planetfall is a blend of Real Time Strategy, and Tactics Combat in a turn based setting. Taking Fantsy Sci-Fi to a new level with 6 Factions, all centered around a different race.

Taking Fantsy Sci-Fi to a new level with 6 Factions, all centered around a different race. Let me start with how beautiful AOW: Planetfall is, from the main map to the combat areas, the units and terrain are phenomenal! The detail in place is a show of the love that went into making this game. Expand your grasp on the regions, and annex new structures and areas to grow your foothold on the planet. Research new technologies and economical advances across an impressive tree. Face off against 5 other players or take on the campaign in a Co-Op game with online multiplayer. Was massive wars across the face of many different planets and prove your hold on them in multiple different Multiplayer modes. The system in place can feel overwhelming, even complicated to some newcomers to the game style, but practice and playing the campaign, with or without friends will greatly help you to understand the game play so don't give up! AoW may have out done themselves with this installment to the series! With a good story and intense and immersive play Age of Wonders: Planetfall is a must have for anyone who enjoys a good Real Time Strategy, or Tactics game, as it illustrates the best of both worlds!… Expand

    I tried to play this on my xbox, but could not last 1 hour. There seems to be no story, and the UI is just too busy for a console title. It may be better for PC where a keyboard/mouse will make UI navigation easier.

    Wow, the depth is amazing! Its like a mix of HMM3 and Age of Empires. I didn't know what I've been missing. Controls are very smooth. So glad this came to console.

    This is yet another Xbox One game that desperately needs mouse and keyboard support. It's really apparent that the developers of these games simply don't care enough to put in the effort to support M&K on consoles. When releasing a 4X game it's a no-brainer that no matter how well implemented a controller might be, the superior control scheme will be a mouse and keyboard.

It's really apparent that the developers of these games simply don't care enough to put in the effort to support M&K on consoles. When releasing a 4X game it's a no-brainer that no matter how well implemented a controller might be, the superior control scheme will be a mouse and keyboard. Since the Xbox One has this capability and the developers know that it has this capability, the only conclusion you can come to for them not including support for M&K is that they simply don't care. For that reason I hope this game flops and the developers learn a lesson.… Expand

    Su sistema de estrategia es muy bueno, la táctica y los tiempos de juego te lleva a sumergirte en su sistema de estrategia y historia, y lo màs importante, es que uno tiene que pensar bien la jugada.

    This is a very cheap pc-port. I just feels like there was no thought put into how it would play on console at all. Like the text that’s way too f-ing small! What a waste.

    This game is not made for your average gamer nor is it made for anyone looking for fast paced gameplay. The tutorial was not only boring but there is way to much to take in the first few minutes..you just forget what does what.

The tutorial was not only boring but there is way to much to take in the first few minutes..you just forget what does what. I’m giving this game an average score because it has incredible depth for the strategy player. I loved both civilizations and XCom and after I heard this game is pretty much combined..I thought..this game is going to be awesome..how wrong was I. I thought maybe I just wasn’t in a gaming mood when I first tried it because my wife was feeling a little frisky and I just had to attend to those matters, so I shut it down and I’d give it the proper attention in a day or two..so I fired it back up and started the tutorial again. It just bored me to death. Like I said..I’ve played civilizations and xcom and absolutely loved them but this game is just way to deep for me or maybe it just kinda sucks. Maybe if your an academic powerhouse..you may get a lot from thus game but if your just a gamer looking for fun and a strategic experience not bogged down by whatever is wrong with this game because I just can’t point out what’s wrong with it. then move on. I’m glad this was on game pass because I really was going to go in blind and purchase this because I how could you go wrong with a hybrid game that mixes xcom and civilizations. Also it got really good reviews but I think maybe the reviewers were busy with other games and tried this and just said..meh..it’s a good game and moved on...anyways..I hope others find joy in this game because I kinda thought it sucked and I gave it a chance.… Expand

    Esse jogo é bem chatinho, ele é muito repetitivo e cansativo, Paradox é conhecida por fazer jogos nesse estilo melhor, hoje em dia, parece que está em decadência.

    Graphically, Age of Wonders: Planetfall is great. It features a top-down approach allowing you to view the map at your pleasure, uncovering it as you go. Each race has it's own distinct style allowing you to easily tell the difference between all six and the sheer detail that has been put onto each building, enemy and weapon is insane. It really is a pleasure to look at.

    Age of Wonders: Planetfall on Xbox One is easily one of the best in the genre, putting so many elements together into one fantastic package. It’s an easy recommendation for anyone who loves the genre, and will be able to sustain strategy fans for weeks and even months on end.

    If you're looking for an easygoing, mindless gaming session, Planetfall isn't in your ballpark—or even playing sports. But if you woke up this morning thinking, "Hey, I'd love to play XCOM and Civilization today, then you can kill two birds with one stone. Planetfall will fill your unique craving.
