The faction creator stands at the forefront of everything that Age of Wonders 4 aims to be. Platforms: PC, Xbox Series X/S & PlayStation 5 While many of its changes are undeniably great, others could prove divisive among fans of the series. However, Age of Wonders 4 isn’t a simple or linear evolution of the series, it’s in many ways, a vast departure from those that came before it.

That variety is why the previous game in the franchise, Age of Wonders: Planetfall, became one of my favorite games. One of its defining features is the sheer variety of playstyles available from its various factions.
