So the FREE WEEKEND got me. I downloaded and before I knew it had put 10hrs on the game and decided to purchase. It's very fun and very diverse. You can create basically whatever type faction you've always wanted. The scenarios seem interesting and overall the games easy enough to learn but feels like there is a much deeper level to it once you really understand the game. All this said - I ABSOLUTELY HATE SALES MODELS LIKE THIS. I absolutely hate games that have 50 different DLCs and it's specifically why I waited, and had to seriously consider before purchasing, and typically don't buy games like this. I believe it's ridiculous sales practices that aren't necessary. Buy on heavy discount sale or not at all is my recommendation.

Heroes of Might and magic + Civilization. Even without the expansions it is a very solid game that can be replayed many times over.

I don't write reviews very often, but this game... man, this game... Let's start with the fact that the only Age of Wonders game I've played before this was Planetfall. This game is a HUGE step up from that experience (not that Planetfall was bad, this is just leagues better.) - The customization is incredible, and provides ample roleplaying opportunities for those who enjoy that. - It's turn based and you can have plenty of fun against the AI, so no need to rely on an active online community. - The game has open mod support, a big win in my eyes. Though the game is perfectly fun as is. Now let's look at a few downsides. - DLC is pricy, especially if you want both expansion packs as it might total the amount of an entirely second game. - Lag and performance issues on large maps with high player counts. - Online co-op suffers from desync issues that may regularly cause you to go through a brief reload, in some cases this can happen every turn. - Matches can be very time consuming, be prepared to save and return later. Even someone who spends all day gaming could find themselves spending an entire day on one massive match. Of course there are other subjective flaws to the game that other reviews may touch on. For me, this game is incredible and is my current obsession. If you like fantasy and strategy games, this is something to look into, especially on sale. Get that wishlist and find an opportunity to jump into this game.

This is my first time writing a review, and I couldn’t have picked a better game to start with. "Age of Wonders 4" is nothing short of brilliant, delivering an immersive and engaging experience that keeps you coming back for more (yeah, I have lost my sleep) Pros: 1. The combat system in "Age of Wonders 4" is intricate and rewarding. Every battle feels like a chess match where strategic thinking and tactical prowess are crucial. The variety of units and abilities available allows for a rich, dynamic combat experience that never gets old. 2. One of the game’s strongest features is its extensive customisation options. Players can mix and match different factions, units, and spells to create unique builds that suit their play style. This, combined with procedural generated maps, ensures that no two games are ever the same, providing endless replayability. 3. While the economic system in "Age of Wonders 4" is more straightforward compared to other 4X games, it remains a vital part of the gameplay. The simplicity ensures that players can focus more on strategy and combat without getting bogged down by overly complex economic micromanagement. 4. The developers have done an excellent job with DLCs and expansions, adding new content that enhances the game without feeling obligatory. The base game is fully enjoyable on its own, but those looking for more content will find the additional packs enriching and worthwhile. 5. "Age of Wonders 4" offers a rewarding meta-progression system (Pantheon). Each session you complete earns you points towards meta rewards, providing a satisfying sense of progression and long-term goals beyond individual game sessions. 6. The game’s fantasy setting is beautifully crafted, immersing players in a rich world filled with magic, mythical creatures, and epic battles. The world-building are captivating, making the experience all the more enchanting. Cons: 1. While the gameplay mechanics shine, the story in "Age of Wonders 4" falls flat. It lacks the depth and engagement found in other parts of the game. The narrative is often forgettable, and players might find themselves skipping through dialogues without much concern for the plot.

After one year playing, I am really satisfied with this game. By itself it is an amazing gaming. Tons of variability, top notch graphics for a fantasy game, interesting mechanics. I woudl say that only the AI is not top-class. But the reall good part is: The developers show a tremendous amount of love for this game, with relevant updates, both for those paying for DLC and for those that not; creating factions is a pleasure, renewed with every update. I am deeply grateful for them. I only dream of the many expansions they do, now and years ahead.
