The game also thinks it’s being clever by allowing up to 42 units (spot the nerd reference) in a battle, but that’s just too much and the bigger fights become bogged down and overlong. Revelations is the first expansion from Triumph Studios for Age of Wonders: Planetfall, the turn-based strategy game with in-depth empire building. Once you’ve a few battles under your belt though that doesn’t really matter and you can start to enjoy the differences from XCOM, which include a much greater variety of units, including vehicles, and mechanics like being able to stagger an enemy to stop them using a special attack or still doing a lesser amount of damage with a missed shot. Summary: Revelations introduces the ancient Heritor Secret Technology, new campaign missions, location mechanics and more. Even though most of the systems, like taking cover and preparing overwatch to fire at enemies during their turn, are very similar everything always seems to need just a couple of extra button presses to get working. Deploy and destroy as the merciless Shakarn, a vicious race of conniving lizardmen with holographic disguises ready to deceive, disrupt and. Summary: In the stardust and disunity of the collapsed Star Union, an insidious new race of conquerors has come to lay claim to the galaxy. As with everything else, you do get used to the controls eventually but it’s interesting just how fussy and unintuitive everything seems compared to XCOM on consoles.

The turn-based combat takes place on a hex-based grid and works very much like XCOM’s more introverted brother. On review aggregator Metacritic, Supreme Commander 2 has a score of 77.
