For those of you still indulging in the massively deep empire building and all-round, top drawer turn-based strategy provided by Age of Wonders: Planetfall, the latest DLC might just enhance your experience further. It’s the Star Kings expansion, which has arrived to unite the Star Union once and for all on Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC.
The Age of Wonders: Planetfall – Star Kings expansion is the third and final part of the planned Season Pass content, following the Revelations and Invasions DLC. Finally, the time has come to unite the shattered Star Union and ensure peace is restored to the galaxy. This entails suiting up the noble Paladins belonging to a new playable faction known as the Oathbound. As such, there’s an additional campaign to delve into, following the Oathbound on a quest to sow the seeds for a new Empire.
These arc weapon wielding Paladins, aided by mysterios Seers, wear massive battle suits in their bid to save mankind, representing everything that’s still good in the midst of the conflict. Along the way, you’ll discover the truth behind the dangers that face the world and find the ancient Grail Configuration. The Grails could make the difference in the mission to save the galaxy as they are powerful new landmark structures which can be added in order to gain long term bonuses. Three new wildlife groups are also introduced: the vampire-like rock creatures, Psionica; the Apostates, former Oathbound that have given up their vows to embrace chaos; and the bizarre Mycelians, sentient mushrooms that have become cyborgs.
