Publisher Paradox Interactive has presented a fresh trailer for Age of Wonders: Planetfall strategy from Triumph studio, known for the Age of Wonders and Overlord series. This trailer focuses on gameplay as the merciless Syndicate trading faction, infamous for its tight power vertical, surveillance, and corruption.
The Syndicate was originally a group of ruthless trading houses that, at the height of their power, commanded vast armies, ruled star systems, and held a monopoly on the trade of a number of valuable commodities. In the era of interstellar travel, the Syndicate is already considering the entire galaxy as its platform for doing business.
The Syndicate has always relied primarily on diplomacy rather than brute force, but at the same time preferred to manipulate rivals, specializing in psionic attacks and covert missions. The Cloak and Dagger Doctrine greatly enhances this faction's operations, while One-sided Trust increases defense against enemies and even allies who are reckless in sharing information with rivals.
The Syndicate Scout, Agent, is the only such intelligence unit among all factions that is invisible on the world map. The agent has weak weapons, but there is a βRescue Moduleβ that allows you to teleport to a safe place right in the middle of a fight. Syndicate troops are also quite strong on the battlefield, equipped with arc weapons and use psionic attacks to suppress the enemy (vehicles are also equipped with appropriate emitters). On the front line of the Syndicate are usually slave warriors in control collars - serfs. Enslaver, a level 3 support unit that can bring dead serfs back to life, allows you to unleash hordes of near-immortal warriors on your opponent.
In Age of Wonders: Planetfall, the player will have to help his people recover from the collapse of the galactic empire. This sci-fi universe will feature turn-based battle tactics and a well-thought-out system of state development, familiar from the early parts of the series. In total, six unique factions are promised, including the militant representatives of the Vanguard, cybernetic zombies from the Assembly and Amazons who tamed dinosaurs. Fight, build, trade and advance technology in a single-player, story-driven campaign set in randomly generated worlds. In the passage, it will be possible to study the history of a lost civilization, exploring the destroyed planets and meeting with other surviving factions. There will also be an opportunity to compete with friends in a network game.
Age of Wonders: Planetfall is slated to launch on August 6 on PC, PS4, and Xbox One, and is priced at Rs.
