About these games

Age of Wonders 4

Age of Wonders 4 combines 4X strategy with turn-based tactical battles in a fantasy realm that the player shapes by their own design. The faction changes over the turns as the player expands the empire. Followers are built from bodily forms, societal traits and arcane powers, allowing the creation of anything from a clan of cannibal halflings to mystic moon elves. Victory can be pursued through brutal domination, clever alliances or deep arcane knowledge, and each game adds a new chapter to a continuing story.

Age of Wonders III

Age of Wonders III follows up an award-winning strategy series, mixing empire building, role playing and warfare into turn-based fantasy strategy. You rule as one of six leader classes – Sorcerer, Theocrat, Rogue, Warlord, Archdruid and the tech-focused Dreadnought – and choose allies from six main races (Humans, High Elves, Dwarves, Orcs, Goblins and Draconians) as well as from monster dwellings. You expand your domain with new settlements, recruit legendary heroes, arm them with magical weapons and fight detailed 3D turn-based battles. The game offers a story campaign playable from both sides of the conflict, scenarios on randomly generated maps and online wars for up to eight players.

Age of Wonders Shadow Magic

Age of Wonders: Shadow Magic is the third entry in a fantasy strategy series that fuses empire building, role-playing and tactical combat. It adds the eerie Shadow World, diverse new landscapes and new races – the Nomads, Shadow Demons and Syrons. Players conduct diplomacy, besiege enemy cities and back up their tactics with magical augmentations. A new campaign spans five episodes and 16 scenarios, joined by 19 stand-alone scenarios, a map generator and an enhanced editor.

Pax Nova

Pax Nova is a sci-fi turn-based 4X strategy game.

You choose one of 15 factions split between three races, each with its own playstyle, and build cities, expand your influence through diplomacy or prepare for battles on land and in space. Planets are procedurally generated with different biomes and hide secrets, creatures, characters and other factions, space brings pirates and space creatures, and the game also offers unique victory conditions plus unit and ship customization.

Astra Exodus

Astra Exodus is a single-player, turn-based sci-fi 4X strategy game inspired by the classics.

In Sandbox mode, players lead one of eight main factions or create their own and pursue several possible victory conditions. Space battles unfold in real time from a top-down view, where positioning and heading matter, while ground battles are initiative-based, also top-down, and a semi-random research grid offers over 300 technologies.

Stars in Shadow

Combat takes place in 2D turn-based tactical battles with point defense, interceptors and energy weapons, with multi-ship commands and auto-resolve, all in a comic-book art style.
