Two different styles are brought under one banner with Age of Wonders: Planetfall, though there are some flaws with the design.
Strategy games like the Sid Meier's Civilization series and tactical combat-focused ones such as XCOM are both immensely popular in the PC gaming community.

Age of Wonders: Planetfall, though, is a departure from the norm. In this sci-fi title, both the strategy and tactics genres are molded into one experience that works well. And while developer Triumph Studios hasn't gotten this formula down to a science yet, Age of Wonders: Planetfall overall stands as a solid game you'll have a good time with.
