About the Game


Rise from the shadows of a collapsed galactic empire and forge a bold new destiny for your civilization. Age of Wonders: Planetfall is the latest strategy title from Triumph Studios — the celebrated developers behind the iconic Age of Wonders series — transplanting the franchise's beloved tactical turn-based combat and expansive empire-building mechanics into a richly imagined science-fiction universe.

Choose from six distinct factions to lead your empire, including the battle-hardened Vanguard, the dino-mounted Amazons, and the grotesque cyborg-zombie Assembly. Navigate each faction's unique missions through a combination of tactical cunning, military force, and shrewd diplomacy. Explore the remnants of crumbled civilizations, cross paths with fellow survivors, and piece together the turbulent history of a shattered star empire. Whether you fight, construct, negotiate, or innovate — your path to utopia awaits across a robust single-player campaign, procedurally generated skirmish maps, and competitive multiplayer modes.

Tactical Turn-Based Sci-Fi Combat

Sharpen your strategic thinking across intense turn-based clashes featuring a diverse roster of factions, fully customizable units, and fully destructible battlefields.

Uncover a Vast Science-Fiction Universe

What truths lie buried beneath the ruins of a fallen galactic empire? Trace the fate of the Star Union across lush terrains, desolate wastelands, and sprawling overgrown megacities. Cross paths with rival factions and rediscover ancient technologies lost to time in long-abandoned corners of the galaxy.

Planetary Empire Building

Chart the course of your colony's future by balancing technological innovation with social progress. Will you cultivate an ecological haven or forge an unrelenting military powerhouse?

Multiple Paths to Victory

Claim ultimate victory through military domination, skilled diplomacy, or the devastating power of doomsday technologies.

A Multitude of Game Modes

An immersive single-player story campaign combined with procedural map generation ensures endless hours of replayability. Experiment with fresh strategies in skirmish mode and enjoy multiplayer on your own terms — whether online, hotseat, or asynchronous!

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.

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

Really tried to like this one, but the depth just isn't there. It feels like there should be a ton of replayability with all the different factions, but the core gameplay loop never felt different enough between them. I

I hardly ever review a game but I had to for AoW4 and Planetfall. I am stunned that this game has mixed reviews. Are you people out of your minds? I've had a blast playing this game both solo and with friends. Bought it

I refunded this after about an hour when it first came out. Coming straight from Age of Wonders III probably didn’t help, the shift to sci-fi, the different pacing, and the way systems were presented just felt off at

Is the game straightforward? Yes. Does it lack depth? Yes. Is the game good? Absolutely. Do you wanna play as Space Dwarves with Protoss technology? Yes you do! 7/10. The fun of having Age of Wonders build variety but
