What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
Well...with Age of Wonders 4 around the corner it may still be worth trying from a story perspective or comparison.
The game has a wide vareity of races and leader types to play as and has a ton of replayability becasue of it unfortunatley though the larger game (6 to 8 players) can take forever (40 hours) and by the half way point everyone has the highest level units and are basically just spaming them at each other.
The visuals are also stunning—many images are worthy to be put in a frame.

I love the soundtrack in this game.
Nice and smooth classic interface, definately better than in the first 2 games.
