Star Kings seems to have toned it down a bit, but you still get the occasional rib-tickler in the campaign. It’s a fairly serious game but occasionally it throws an oddball at you, like the anthropomorphic space pirates found in Invasions. Planetfall has always had a strange kind of humor. If you don’t laugh at this, we can’t be friends. It introduces you to the new Oathbound faction, the Grail configurations, and wildlife units. The absolute best way to get your feet wet with Star Kings is to play through it. The campaigns featured in previous expansions always showcased the newest features found inside the expansion, and Star Kings is no different. I will be talking a bit about it, it’s too large to ignore, but it won’t affect the score for Star Kings itself.

This bears mentioning because the update introduces a Galactic Empire mode that is a complete game-changer.
Releasing alongside Star Kings is the Triceratops patch, which is available to everyone for free, whether or not you purchase Star Kings. Star Kings brings two new campaign missions for the Oathbound, new powerful landmarks called Grail Configurations, and a host of new wildlife units to contend with. You could say that the Oathbound have the power of God and Anime on their side. Star Kings features a new faction called the Oathbound, a faction of honor-bound Paladins who walk around in giant Gundam-style mech suits. You can find a video version of this review on my Youtube Channel!
If you don’t know, Planetfall is a fantastic 4X game with a large focus on tactical combat.

Synthesis goes well with both, for their boring, too good mods and super pug.Ī lot of defensive mods have been nerfed since I last played so I'm not sure how that would affect my gameplay. Engulfers are pretty amazing, try the bio -> electric mod on them. If you go voidtech or celestian, and can afford it, you can make better melee guys instead. Your basic melee guys can then get a lot of defensive buffs between snipers, transcendent, and whatever you put on them.
With Kirko their sniper's AoE cloud actually casts psi buffs on surrounding units (Move units then jump into them), which makes putting psi buff mods on them very appealing. I tend to run a 1 hero, 3 troopers, 1 pug, and 1 owl/bike stacks. Voidtech goes nice with Vanguard as it adds a melee unit to them, and goes well with guns. It's pretty fun running round burning people, until you run into another Promethean with thermal defence mods.
Your armies won't come with you, nor your bases, so there's little to gain by spending extra time to build stuff up before finishing missions, but doing most of the stuff giving experience with your main heroes will help.įor Vanguard, there is the classic Promethean fire ammo + thermal targetting combo for troopers, although I've been finding that nanites + extra range is a reliable combo that works for everyone. not ones you recruit using the normal hero recruitment mechanics but your main character and the story followers, because those you can often take to your next mission and starting missions with higher-level heroes is helpful. (You have a couple of missions for each of the factions, and depending on your choices in an earlier mission, you may have a different secret tech in your next mission for that faction.)īut diplomacy is surprisingly useful in the campaign because you genuinely can avoid conflict with at least one - and sometimes most if not all - faction in most if not all missions.Īlso, focus on building up your main heroes (i.e. You don't have to conquer everyone, either, most if not all missions have non-violent (well, non-conquering) ways to win, and these can affect your main character in the next mission they undertake. Honestly, it's not that different from random maps, even the maps are semi-random, you just have some scripted competition and events on top of the normal gameplay.
