They’re the product of Imperial research divisions that allow you to do “very special things,” Sas explains. Instead of classes, there are secret technologies, leftovers from the Star Union, that give these leaders an edge. Instead of having classes, like Age of Wonders 3, more emphasis has been put on their species and equipment. It’s still a 4X game with turn-based tactical combat, but heaped onto that frame are a multitude of new ideas, at least for the series, starting with the commanders.Ĭommanders are Planetfall’s leaders and a faction’s primary hero unit, able to explore the planet, chat to aliens and then murder them. More than Age of Wonders 3 in space, Triumph seems to be making a concerted effort to ensure that Planetfall is its own thing, not just in terms of setting, but fundamental game mechanics as well. It’s a good middle-ground between doing something that’s close to our hearts, but also something that allows us to experiment.” “It gives us more opportunities than a direct sequel would ever give us. “We’ve been working on fantasy games all our lives, but we also had the fantasy of making a sci-fi game,” says Lennart Sas, Triumph Studios’ CEO. It swaps magic for mechs, pitting alien races against each other in a galaxy reeling from the collapse of the last great space empire, the Star Union. Triumph Studios’ latest 4X outing, Age of Wonders: Planetfall, does away with all of that. For nearly two decades, the Age of Wonders series has been firmly entrenched in a fantasy realm, with all the tropes that accompany it: Orcs, Halflings, meddling wizards and flying lizards.
