Very good....buy it

Date of Review:  Mar 18, 2000
Review: Age of Wonders is an excellent, addictive and fun turn-based strategy game with great 2D graphics, fun game play and inspired level design. Its flaws are minor when compared to its ample strengths. I loved Warlords, the old classic strategy game,...

Almost Master of Magic II

Date of Review:  Mar 6, 2000
Review: I seized upon Age of Wonders hoping for an unofficial sequel to Master of Magic. It comes close, and is an excellent game.

For those to whom "Master of Magic" is a foreign concept, the gist of the game is this: 1) Raise an army of humans,...

Compelling Turn-based Game

Date of Review:  Nov 15, 1999
Review:
Version Reviewed: Playable Demo (multiplayer only, single player campaign not included in demo)

Age of Wonders is a title that bills itself as an "RPS," or Role-Playing Simulation. On the surface, it resembles the turn-based Warlords...

A nice stab....

Date of Review:  Dec 22, 2000
Review: There is something about Age of Wonders which intrigues me further than Heroes of Might and Magic. In AOW there is this thing called "Simutaneous turns". This means everyone can make their turns at the same time. Suddenly multiplayer isn't so bland...

Age of Wonders Review

Date of Review:  Mar 18, 2000
Review: I've been a big fan of the Heroes of Might and Magic series since Heroes 2 came out. So, naturally, after playing the entire series for years I finally took it off my hard drive. (Heroes 2 and 3, not the original.)
And I've been trying to find a...

Strangely compelling...

Date of Review:  Mar 27, 2000
Review: ...but ultimately unsatisfying. I admit, I did stay up a few nights playing until 1 or 2am, but I finally threw up my hands in disgust when I kept getting crashing bugs. No game is perfect but crashing bugs are really unprofessional.
You start...

A new addition to the "must buys"

Date of Review:  Feb 2, 2000
Review: There are games that you must play. This is the principle on which our church of videogames is founded. Some recent examples include Half-Life, System Shock 2, and Homeworld. And then there are games that you must play over and over again. Games...

Age of Wonders

Date of Review:  May 19, 2000
Review: I purchased this game because I am a fan of dark elves. I thought that it would be stupid at first and then I would get used to it and it would grow on me. How wrong I was. I was interested and hooked from the start. I loved the opening sequence...

Warlord Hero Masters of Magic

Date of Review:  Dec 7, 1999
Review: Warlord Hero Masters of Magic...

I know that is a confusing title, but Age of Wonders does something I have waited years for. Take the best elements of Warlords, Masters of Magic, and Heroes of Might and Magic, put them all together in one...

What's an Azrac?

Date of Review:  Dec 30, 2002
The Bottom Line: I love turn based games and this was probably the best one that I've played.
Review: I love turn based games, and this is the type that really exemplifies the best of this genre. The object of a turn based game is pretty simple. You let the computer play first. It stops, and then you get to play. This allows for you to think about...
