Prior to its expansions, Age of Wonders: Planetfall was already a content-rich game with a lengthy list of factions, commanders, techs, and units. Invasions bolsters Planetfall's diversity and replayability with intriguing new features. The Shakarn alone make the expansion worthwhile.

Overview
In the stardust and disunity of the collapsed Star Union, an insidious new race of conquerors has come to lay claim to the galaxy. Deploy and destroy as the merciless Shakarn, a vicious race of conniving lizardmen with holographic disguises ready to deceive, disrupt and disintegrate the last strongholds of human might. Utilize light and sound trickery to sabotage and scatter your foes from the inside out, overwhelm them with brutish alien force, or form the most unlikely of alliances: the choice is yours. Choose quickly though, as new environmental catastrophes can strike without warning, and enemies may spring from unexpected places. The Shakarn empire is ready to strike your enemies down, but do not make the mistake of being overconfident. Never forget that the greatest threats often come from above…

Triumph once again shows how to do post-launch content in the best light possible. Invasions not only rectifies some of the issues from the base game, but also add meaningful events through the entire session. A must have for Age of Wonders and 4X fans in general.
The core strength of the Invasions expansion comes from what the Shakarn race can bring to the table. With their focus on infiltration and deception, as well as sonic weapons, they're a refreshing treat for Age of Wonders: Planetfall fans. Unfortunately, the other DLC inclusions aren't as noteworthy or remarkable.
If Revelations was an appetizer, Invasions is the dessert to Planetfall’s main course and I have a sweet tooth. It’s a great addition to the base game and compliments it with every feature it brings.
