Each civ has multiple paths to victory, rather than just combat victory. Overall the combat is way less tactical, being more about the overall strategy layer, and war being one of may tools, rather than the only tool. Combat is undertaken on the overworld map. The Civs in Civ 6 have basically the same combat units as each other. Combat and war is one aspect of many, which is why its combat is much simpler in comparison to Planetfall.

It has science and society and trade and negotiation and various other elements to a greater degree than what Planetfall does. It has a huge amount of depth for combat.Ĭiv6 is a more standard 4x, which has a range of elements. If you want a lot of combat, then this is the game. This means having focusing on production of combat units. The strategic layer is about your war effort. Each race is very distinct from each other, with their own unique units, technologies, and abilities. It has indepth tactical battles that happen on a grid, and which are turn based. I assume they have generally the same gameplay focus)Īge of Wonders: Planetfall is heavily combat oriented. While both this game and Civ 6 might be classed as the same genre, they are very different.(I haven't played Civ 6, but I played Civ 5. For me the game is averaging out to cost me pennies to the hour as I keep playing it more. I expect to log a couple thousand hours in this game, just like I did in Age of Wonders 3. I have to say once I got a better understanding of the game it has become my favorite game. of the game to you as you play.Īs Planet Fall is a game with a lot of depth and features, so the steam 2 hour refund window might be too short to get a good feel if the game play is your style of fun. You get to try the game without owning it and have a friend explain features, strategies, etc. While it's not as convenient or as flexible as playing multiplayer where you both own the game it has an advantage.

They can invite you to play classic turns on their computer using the 'REMOTE PLAY TOGETHER' feature of this game as listed on the Steam Store page. You do not have to worry about the 2 hour refund window if you have a friend who owns the game. One cool feature of Planet Fall - Remote Play Together.
