Age of Wonders 4 Review

Age of Wonders 4 reviewed by Leana Hafer on PC.

The fact that your legacy follows you in Age of Wonders 4 is rewarding, and the faster pace of its very strong campaign mechanics and pretty good tactical battles make it feel like you can write a new chapter of this saga in a reasonable amount of time. Cranking all the dials up to maximum weirdness can lead to some edge cases that ruin the fun a bit, but it's not that big of a price to pay for the vast map and empire customization we get to play with.

The original from 1999 is my favourite game of all time. Very much looking forwards to playing this Tuesday!

Well, the race cultures are (compared to CIV) more like "cultural areas".

You can be a feudal group of spider riding frogs, mainly using poison magic to fight. While you can also be decent unicorn riding humans, mainly using healing magic - but also feudal. Two very differenct "civilizations", but part of the same cultural area.

2:20 Phoenix! A controllable Phoenix! Let's go!

These guys should make the next Heroes of Might and Magic game. And make it more like HMM3.

Does 4 still do the cool thing when you zoom all the way out of the map and get a very stylized rendition of the explored map? Loved that.

Isnt the blizzard debuff just active in all arctic provinces? That's what the description said, so it seems like one would need to retreat to a green province (or one without snow at least) to be able to heal. Though it could still be better displayed, both by effects and tooltips.

Why can’t we get something like this but with the lord of the rings

[ThanosMoist]

Looks like a great game with a lot of content for the price.

[stormhammerx]

This has always been a great series. Can't wait to play pt 4

[alishams]

imagine such level of customizablity in a game like total war warhammer 3!
the fun would be endless

[aerial]

reminds me of those old school disciple games

[Andeijogando]

Icons, menus, numbers, this game has everything!

[majorlazor]

People are obsessed with games they like not getting 9s and 10s.

[boomerangfish]

Triumph was lucky he didn't mention naval battles ...

[jonathanwells]

Legitimately the only thing that has made me happy this year

[ashjoben]

Got baited by all the praise and thought it would be at least a 9 or even a 10 but this score for 4x game is still awesome

[klissattack]

How many story realms are we talking about here? They sound like what I'd want

[martinoddy-craftwork]

Is it me, or do the battle maps and textures look way worse than on the world map, which looks beautiful?
