Age of Wonders 4: Rise from Ruin Reviews
I very much initially underestimated how much new content Rise from Ruin would deliver. I was pleasantly surprised to see this expansion pack be more than just a few new cosmetics, creatures, weapons, magic spells, and such. Triumph Studios has really cooked something new here that radically changes the rules of magic and the rules of combat, thus challenging players to rethink every move at least twice. This expansion pack definitely keeps you on your toes and brings an abundance of new adventures to an established fantasy strategy game. The new addons add a layer of difficulty in a good way without breaking with the core experience. It is highly entertaining and fun, if you’re up to the challenge! I hereby award Age of Wonders 4: Rise From Ruin the ThumbCulture Gold Award!
