If you’re looking for a more female (and dinosaur) friendly approach, the Amazon is your squad. Of course, there’s the traditional human race, the Vanguard, which offers players an intuitive, default faction. It features six diverse factions, each offering unique strategic and combat advantages. Set in the distant future, Planetfall takes place in a faraway galaxy that’s recovering from a cataclysmic collapse. But once you do, once you get your feet wet and the game starts to roll, then it’s a barn burner. Everything from your screen’s gadgets and menus to galactic/sci-fi terminology to different factions to gameplay mechanics.

This density can be attributed to the barrier of information you have to climb when you first jump in.

It may have some dense opening chapters, but it’s worth the read. I liken it to a slow-starting book that doesn’t become a real page-turner until a few chapters in. Planetfall may not grab your attention or have you at the edge of your seat-at first-but when given enough time, Triumph Studios’ fifth installment of the Age of Wonders series does not disappoint. The devil is in the details-and Age of Wonders: Planetfall offers puh-lenty of details.
