Revenge is a dish best served cold, the ancient Klingon saying goes, and nobody knows this better than penguins. Having made the interstellar journey to this dusty backwater planet alongside my rugged band of frontier fighters, the penguins quickly proved themselves admirable fighters in our war against the vicious psychic bugs who showed up first. As my troopers fell prey to the insects’ virulent battle vomit, the ten-foot penguins swooped in to tear the bugs apart with trisected beaks.
Age of Wonders: Planetfall is the long-running fantasy series’ sci-fi spin-off, the Alpha Centauri to Age of Wonders’ Civilization II. Fans of the series will find Planetfall immediately familiar, as it maintainsTriumph’s now well-established ‘faster 4X’ dynamics peppered with XCOM-style tactical battles.

Four years later, its successor Inkbound’s launch from Early Access was looking more like Sandwich Big.I’m not just saying that because of the mountain of lamb and eggplants I ate while meeting with developer Shiny Shoe over lunch, to feel out what the aftermath of releasing a game looks like in 2024. I mean, have I thought about that sandwich every day since? Yes. But also, the indie team talked frankly about the struggle of luring Monster Train’s audience on board for its next game.
