Does this game have a good and proper campaign mode with nice plot?

[thesilentimp]

Hi, are there any proper campaign mode with nice starcraft/warcraft/dune/c&c/hmm/songs of conquest style plot?
Or it's just another age of wonders 4 style garbage where no real campaign present?

[☸𝕵𝖔☸]

No.

Its a 4x game, there is a plot about the world and the neutral factions, playable factions have a few quests, there are generic quests too. But there isnt a campaign mode, its more a scenario with random elements inside an intriguing post apocalyptic world about aliens, rogue AIs, cult from another dimension etc...

No, but the battles are like mini campaigns

I play both AoW4 and Zephon so if you're looking for a story campaign, you're not getting one here. But Zephon is not the same as AoW4 in one important respect.

AoW4 is a sequel to the earlier AoW games the previous iterations of which had story campaigns and therefore, the lack of a proper story-driven campaign is distressing for those who expected the new game to have such and that's fair.

Zephon has no such feature as did neither of the studio's previous games, Pandora or Gladius. It is like the Civ franchise or any number of other 4X game which do not have campaigns but are played as a unique 'campaign' all of its own.

Songs of Conquest is fun but you've probably already noticed that the new DLC faction has no such campaign either. I actually miss that as I expected that from SoC. The campaigns really introduce you to the factions, their casters and their units.

Seriously, where does this people even come from...?

The game is great, you should buy it. Make sure to select the "who are you?" answer after your first win. It unlocks a gamechanging mutator that locks leaders to their affinities. This makes the game much more playable and unique. There is a lot of customization. Quite frankly, the devs knocked it out of the park.

Do you mean like 《Heroes® of Might & Magic® III》's story campaign?
No, this game is more like gladius + civ beyond earth.

4X games generally don't have campaigns like the OP and yourself are looking for. I'm sure there are a few exceptions here and there as I certainly haven't played ALL the 4X games but maybe Songs of Conquest might be a good fit for you?

Age of Wonders: Planetfall is a 4X with a proper campaign (2 missions for each faction + one final map, and then each DLC also has an associated campaign) and probably closest to what you're looking for. AoW4 doesn't really have a campaign though, and as far as I know the olders do but I haven't played them so can't comment.

While more traditional, Endless Legend features a "Faction quest" which is unique to each faction and can be quite important and run-defining (though the balance is questionable for some of those) so you might want to look into it.

I assume most of them are either teenagers, or perhaps there is a big langage barrier. You don't like the game - garbage. Doesn't have x feature - complete trash. No updates - game is dead. Fun times. Very common on steam forums.

You have to speak hyperbole when you express dissatisfaction on the Internet otherwise your complaint won't get attention. It's not nearly as effective when being positive as people see through it really quickly and dismiss it.

Hyperbole also serves to antagonise posters on the other side of the argument so you can probably get catharsis from the fights with the other side.

Sad for me. Having a "real Campaign" was the thing I was missing most for Gladius.
I really hoped they would have a "real Campaign" in Zephon.

So it's probably not a Game for me, I guess.
