age of wonders planetfall steam wont launch

your stuck in pasts aow planetfall is the best strategy game in recent years and i dare say comes close to the original supreme commander in my enjoyment of these games. All I can say is that if you're looking for a rpg-like campaign in vein of AoW1 then Planetfall is not a game for you. I didn't really care much for original AoW lore, either, so can't really offer much insight. Lack of flavor is a problem, but it's not coming from the lore.

That said, when looking at a (very) general picture, it does mostly play like AoW3. Why they did it that way I don't know, just hope lessons are learned for AoW4, provided AoW4 is a thing. It doesn't have custom scenarios at all and with the development pretty much ended it's not changing. Originally posted by TajskaK:Planetfall is strictly RMG. In terms of story I think it is at least comparable if not better than original AoW, where the story was mostly focused on particular characters, not the world/universe/nations, as it is in Planetfall. This game has campaign (multiple, if you add DLCs), through which you lean about the story of the universe. It is short description of units, intro movie and those pathetic quests. While Gladius benefit from the richness of the universe outside of game, and is excelent game by itself, the fluff IN GAME is practically absent. But if you already played such games, planetfall is average at best. It is one of your first 4X it might be ok. On the other hand if you are a teenager who likes such games, it could be enough for you.

Compare it to Warhammer: Gladius, despite Gladius is better as a wargame. It is just a lousy wargame with a bit 4X and no soul. It is shallow, boring and stupid in every aspect compared to the older AoW titles.

As an adult who played the AoW games from the beginning, i hate planetfall with a passion because it is (possibly) the end of a great franchise. Originally posted by madra:Depends on your age, i think.
