"So it's very important for us to have the right amount of polish and not disappoint our fans. "All of the Age of Wonders games are mid-eighties on the Metacritic scale," Sas said. Additionally, it will release DRM-free on Good Old Games, and on the other usual digital distribution suspects.īut Triumph, which is master of its own destiny as Age of Wonders IP owner, is unafraid to push the game into early 2014 to avoid the busy Christmas 2013 period or if the game needs extra work. Triumph aims to launch Age of Wonders 3 in the autumn of 2013 - but told Eurogamer it is unafraid to delay the game to early 2014.Īge of Wonders 3, the long-awaited follow-up to 2003's Age of Wonders:Shadow Magic, is "on the verge" of going into full alpha, with an autumn 2013 release window mooted on Steam, complete with the multiplayer Steam features you'd expect. You switch between the two modes as you grow your empire and conquer new lands. "You're able to organise and develop any aspect of your empire yourself, and get this feeling that you're this really powerful guy calling the shots in your fantasy realm."Īge of Wonders 3 features a Civilization-style tiled map system for empire building, and a turn-based combat system with a free-roaming 3D camera for battles. "We tried to bring that experience into this game, but a lot bigger," director Lennart Sas told Eurogamer at the Game Developers Conference today. This change came about after Triumph decided to incorporate mechanics from its other game series, Overlord, which saw players control a powerful character who in turn controlled minions. So, the warrior becomes the warlord and the priest becomes the theocrat.
Now, these classes have been extrapolated to become leaders of a fantasy realm. In past games you assumed the role of a generic role-playing class, such as the wizard. The game revolves around the leader class. Developer Triumph Studios has released a gameplay video of turn-based fantasy strategy game Age of Wonders 3, showing off empire building and the series' turn-based combat.
