Ridiculous Turn Based Strategy
I love turn based strategy games as much as the next guy, Heroes of Might and Magic Series has been near and dear to my heart since '96(and am wondering why IV isn't up here yet), and I've played every campaign in Disciples II Gold and love it, But Age of Wonders is ridiculously hard from the get go and I don't mean that as in I'm a lame casual gamer, cause I'm not, but a game like Wonders and HOMM need to ease you into the play so you can spend hours upon hours in the world. And there isn't a good enough tutorial at the beginning to tell you what to do. I bought the game and played it several times over the years and have always hated the unbalanced mechanics that kick off the game and most of the campaigns. Its just not all that fun to tell you the truth. Its stress inducing and cheap, which spoils it every time. If I wanted that I'd play a real time strategy game.

Good game ruined by the virus Windows 10
Like so many good games on GoG, Age of Wonders does not run under Windows 10. Thus the -2 stars. Installing a competently developed OS followed by WINE will let this, and most of these broken titles, be played without issue however. As a game, it is a longish turn based strategy game, with a ton of different units to play with, tons of maps built in and a fully featured editor that has been used to make a ton more single player and multi-player capable maps. So replayablity is high. The AI is pretty much missing the I, like many games, and relies on cheats to compensate. Then again, just net control over a size 4 city for orcs or frostlings, and spam dragons. If you are lacking in strategic acumen, it may seem to be unfair. That isn't the fault of the game however. Many battles can be easily cheesed, especially if you have access to over-powered units like Halfling Slingers. Graphics are okay 2D. Nothing particularly exciting nor is it bad. They've held up fine through the years, but this is not a game that was ever a graphical powerhouse. Sound is similar. Most levels vary in quality, but the built in campaign and most single maps are fairly good. All in all, a solid turn based strategy game that holds up okay today. Or would, if not for GoG deciding to no longer sell functioning titles. While it may be the fault of Microsoft for pushing so much malware and viruses into Windows, GoG is obligated to make sure the product they sell is usable. If it can't be made to work, stop selling it. To do otherwise is to scam your customers.
