Although it may not be the most innovative or the most expansive game on the market, Age of Wonders captivates the hearts of gamers withits solid tried-and-true gameplay. Even if the game borrows details from several  others, it just improves so much on the gameplay that it's hard not smile.  While the game lacks any randomness, it captures the old-school feeling of  true feudalism. The color palette is fantastic and I was surprised at the  superior quality of the music - excellent, to say the least. The units are  well-balanced, and despite the low number of different unit types the game  allows for a fascinating amount of strategy, unlike the other games which  mainly specialize in getting as many units, items, and characters on-screen  as fast as possible.
