Age of Wonders: Planetfall

Sci-Fi Empire Building Meets Tactical Combat

Age of Wonders: Planetfall drops you into a shattered galactic civilization where survival depends on your ability to rebuild from the ruins. Choose from six distinct factions—from the militant Vanguard to dinosaur-riding Amazons and the cyborg-zombies of the Assembly—each offering a completely different approach to planetary conquest.

Turn-Based Strategy With Destructible Battlefields

Combat unfolds through tactical turn-based battles that reward careful positioning and strategic thinking. Units can be customized to match your playstyle, while destructible environments add another layer of tactical depth. Terrain destruction isn't just visual flair—it opens new strategic possibilities and forces you to adapt your approach mid-battle.

Exploring a Fallen Galactic Empire

The remnants of the Star Union hide secrets across lush landscapes, barren wastelands, and overgrown megacities. Planetary exploration reveals forgotten technologies and encounters with rival factions, each interaction potentially shifting the balance of power. Ancient ruins hold the keys to understanding what brought down this once-mighty civilization.

Colony Development and Social Engineering

Building your empire requires balancing technological advancement with social development. Your choices shape whether your colony becomes an environmental paradise or a militaristic powerhouse. The empire building system lets you steer your faction's future through research trees and policy decisions that reflect your chosen path to dominance.

Multiple Victory Conditions and Diplomatic Options

Victory comes through conquest, diplomacy, or unleashing doomsday technologies upon your enemies. The diplomatic system provides alternatives to endless warfare, letting you forge alliances or manipulate rivals. Some situations call for military might, others for careful negotiation—successful leaders master both approaches.

Single-Player Campaigns and Multiplayer Modes

A deep story campaign explores each faction's unique perspective on the post-apocalyptic world, while random map generation ensures endless replayability. Skirmish mode lets you experiment with different strategies, and multiplayer supports online play, hotseat sessions, and asynchronous matches for players with different schedules.

Endless Strategic Possibilities

The combination of faction diversity, customizable units, and multiple victory paths creates a strategy game with significant replay value. Each faction plays differently enough to feel like learning a new game, while the procedural elements keep even familiar scenarios fresh and challenging.
