🟩 Welcome back to another episode of The First Two Hours! Today I'm diving into Age of Wonders: Planetfall, a turn-based strategy game that's been sitting in my Steam backlog for way too long. Join me as I explore this sci-fi empire builder from the ground up, starting with the tutorial and working through the early game mechanics.
In this episode, I'll cover: • Complete tutorial walkthrough and first impressions • Combat system breakdown and tactical gameplay • Colony management and resource systems • Faction differences and customization options • Graphics, audio, and technical performance • My honest verdict after two hours of play
Is this worth your time? Should it stay installed or get the boot? Watch to find out my full thoughts on this strategy game that blends empire building with tactical combat.
Final Score: 4/5 Stars
