    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.

    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

    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.

    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.
