I bought this game not long after it was released, but didn't play it until three to four years later. For whatever reason like many people I just couldn't get into it, however I did manage eventually, and let me tell you this, this is the best 4X game I've ever played! As far as I know this is the only 4X game with X-COM like combat, though not exactly like X-COM, it's very fun regardless. This game has everything, great visuals, art, sound, voice acting and writing. You will not be disappointed on any one of those points. There are some bugs but it was never a deal breaker for me, it didn't delete my save or corrupt my games, just some minor bugs. Game wise, the one shortcoming is diplomacy, it's very basic. Other then that I don't have any other gripes. The factions in this game are all very unique, it's very well done! A faction is not just composed of a race but also a secret tech, so you can have many combination to play with. Some races does have slightly difference with their secret tech. Units and technologies are also very unique to the faction or secret tech, non playable units are also very cool, and you can get those units in many ways. 198 hours in and I am still not very good at it yet, so I don't know what it's like to play it on very high level, currently I am enjoying hard difficulty AI and normal over all difficulty. The in game encyclopedia is very thorough, maybe missing one or two concepts or I just couldn't find them. But it's nothing major, I can learn them just through game play alone, so don't worry about the game keeping secrets from you.

This is Alpha Centauri 21st century edition, and boy did they knock it deep-space. Xeno-Exploration Civilization ANY problems launching the Paradox Launcher - Uninstall, and Reinstall it manually. Go find it under Windows Settings. 'Installed Apps'. Search 'Paradox'. Uninstall Launcher V2. I've had it installed since 2020, hence a new install is fine by me; XD The universe beckons! The Imperial Archives will be an immense source of wealth, any terms on-screen you don't know, gets to the Encyclopedia to help you understand everything. This is a prime piece of Paradox Interactive's arsenal, and this is when the price of peak gaming was this good, at this price tier. You could play this forever too, like any Civ game, so :) consider this an investment. The many customizable options to make your desired difficulty, or the scene you'd like to play: , Relaxed, Hardcore, or 'Normal' World sizes can be small, medium, large, or enormous. There's space for 3 to 12 players in any of the above. Each planet's 'experience' will vary, based on the Gravity, whether what happens there is a secret or not, and there's objectives per land, whether helping mend feuding races, or exploring a 'rich seas' universe, The universal creativity and open structured design is something to marvel as to how well it was done. You also get commanders that will help oversee your management of this universe, bringing with them, their ways of life, and upbringing, bonuses that perhaps match your playstyle, or your desired playstyle. The resources your colony will be managing per cycle are: Food, Production, Happiness, Population, Energy, Cosmite , Knowledge and Influence. You can 360 the map/planet with A/D scrolling

The campaign gamemode isn't that great, but the galactic empire mode is amazing. The fact that you can build an empire over time unlocking additional powers and abilities really adds to the replayability.

Age of Wonders: Planetfall is a turn-based strategy game that brings the classic Age of Wonders formula into a sci-fi setting, combining empire management, tactical battles, and faction-driven storytelling. Its shift from fantasy to science fiction allows for varied unit designs, technological themes, and a broader strategic palette while maintaining the series’ core strengths. Factions are the game’s standout feature. Each group offers distinct aesthetics, unit types, and strategic mechanics—from bio-engineered amazons to militarized space dwarves and cybernetic collectives. Their differences shape both diplomacy and combat, encouraging experimentation and replayability. The game reinforces this diversity through tech trees and mod systems that allow units to be customized extensively. Combat takes place on tactical maps where positioning, cover, abilities, and unit synergies determine success. Battles flow quickly but offer meaningful choices, balancing accessibility with depth. The emphasis on flanking, status effects, and ability combos creates a dynamic battlefield that rewards planning without becoming overly complex. Strategic gameplay involves colony development, resource management, exploration, and diplomacy. Maps are filled with neutral factions, landmarks, and hazards that guide expansion and create early friction. The economic model is clear and structured, though players who prefer lighter management may find the number of resources and systems initially dense. Narrative campaigns extend the setting by focusing on multiple factions and perspectives across a fragmented galactic landscape. Story arcs introduce faction philosophies and conflicts while offering varied mission structures. Though the narrative delivery is functional rather than cinematic, it provides enough context to support long-term motivation. Presentation is strong, with detailed unit models, colorful biomes, and clean interface design. Music and sound effects reinforce the sci-fi tone, giving battles and exploration a sense of scale. The visual identity is coherent across factions and environments, helping the world feel distinct. Overall, Age of Wonders: Planetfall delivers a robust blend of tactical combat and strategic management strengthened by deep faction variety and strong customization. It is suited for players who enjoy layered turn-based systems, flexible playstyles, and long-form strategy rather than streamlined or minimalist design.

My honest thought? This game is actually pretty good! Granted, it's still not as good as "Age of Wonders IV", but still pretty good! If you must get this game or any DLC for it? I advise getting it from whenever "Humble Bundle" includes it within a game bundle.
