This aspect is even more determinant in our heroes, since a good development will make us learn new skills that will make our life and conquest easier. We will access a menu that has reminded us quite a bit of those seen in RPGs, which gives an extra touch of depth and versatility to give an extra to any of our troops and achieve victory for our army. One option that we will have to take into account to take advantage in combat is the customization of our troops and heroes.

This aspect is one of the least convincing since the use of cover has not seemed very useful to us. The system that we find here has reminded us a lot of what we saw in XCOM, with turns to move around a map divided into squares and action points to perform movements such as shooting, take cover or place guards to kill our enemies when they cross our area. The combat zone, on the other hand, can vary, depending on the defenses that we build in our cities or colonies. The main map that we will find is typical of 4X games, from which we will expand our city, create an army to colonize territories and investigate new technologies to improve our troops and buildings and we will explore the map.

By mixing these two playable concepts we will have two distinct maps, the main one from which we will manage everything and the combat one. The main difference we found in our analysis of Age of Wonder: Planetfall is its mix between the 4X style of map eXploration, territorial eXpansion, resource exploitation and enemy eXtermination with its more leisurely and turn-based XCOM or Fire Emblem style combat.
