About this game

Age of Wonders: Planetfall is the sci-fi spin-off of the Age of Wonders series of turn-based strategy games with tactical combat.

Leaving behind the fantasy setting, each session has players colonize a different planet with its own mixture of climate, hazards, neutral factions and terrain.

The base game includes six distinct races (Amazon, Assembly, Dvar, Kir'Ko, Syndicate, Vanguard).

Alongside choosing and customizing the commander unit with different appearance, loadout and attributes, they can be assigned a "secret tech", which includes a secondary set of technologies, support powers and units which supplement the existing arsenals of the given faction.

Research is split to two branches - military (new units, support powers, gear) and social (economic bonuses, new colony buildings).

Units can be additionally modified for a fee with up to 3 upgrades and gear at a time, which are unlocked through research; multiple templates for such upgrades can be saved for the remainder of the match to keep them uniform.

Hero units can additionally equip special items they come across through pick-ups or by completing quests, and gain various new traits as they level up, which range from statistics boosts to new abilities.

The commander unit is represented by a special hero unit which automatically respawns after 3 turns after being killed, while standard heroes can only be resurrected after researching the appropriate technology mid-game.

Colonies (analogous to cities in the fantasy games in the series) are represented by a node in the center of a region, and can gradually be connected to adjacent regions as they grow in population size, with those regions' nodes able to be assigned a production specialization (energy, research, food/growth, etc.).

Those nodes also act as outposts which share the defensive forces with the main colony.

Colonies are assigned to the race which first created them - if captured, they can be razed, converted to the conqueror's race through migration

About Sega Genesis

Known as the Mega Drive outside North America, the Sega Genesis (1988/1989) was Sega's most successful console and Sonic the Hedgehog's original home, fueling the "console wars" era against Nintendo's SNES. Genesis cartridge collecting is well-established: common sports and platformer titles are affordable, while sports-license and later-era games with smaller print runs can carry a meaningful premium.

Gamevaro tracks Planetfall for Sega Genesis with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.

Adding Planetfall to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This GEN release dates back to 1983.
