Something like a Civilization game maybe, something like Age of Wonders: Planetfall which has just released on PS4.Ī 4X game (explore, expand, exploit and exterminate), you can play as one of six factions as you try to take over a randomly generated map whilst up to eleven other commanders try to do the same. The long summer games drought is nearly over but it’s still quite quiet and the weather has taken a turn so you may be looking for a game to soak up your weekends. 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.Augin PS4 tagged 4x / age of wonders / civilization / planetfall / sci fi / strategy / turn-based / xcom by Gareth
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. 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. 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.
