Free Game Alert: Age of Wonders III Being Offered by the Humble Store

Raevenlord · May 10, 2019

The Humble Store, creators of the Humble Bundle where every purchase you make can be personalized, dividing the amount you pay between developers and a non-profit of your choice, has announced that they're giving away free copies of Age of Wonders II. The game, a 4X, turn-based strategy affair, currently stands at a "Mostly Positive" review score on Steam and an 80% aggregate score on Metacritic, was released back in March 31st, 2014.

The game will be available in the Humble Store through May 11, and you now have just 22 hours to redeem it. If you don't have a backlog of games (who doesn't, really), feel free to grab it. If you do have a backlog but don't have Age of Wonders III waiting on it, then you might as well add another sleeper to that heap.

To get the game you have to subscribe to the newsletter (not a big deal), but more importantly: link a Steam account.

I'm not really sure what privileges they'd have at that point, but they're surely worth giving away a game. Anyone knows?

Age of Wonders III can be had for $5 these days from other cheap key sellers.

They don't acquire any privileges. Linking your steam account is just a basic way they get an ID, and make the key linked to that ID. It's the best way to ensure that the keys can't be claimed by one person thousands of times then sold on keysites for profit.

The biggest thing I got from this is that there is a Age of Wonders: Planetfall, which sounded interesting. I never really liked AoW, maybe because I've been a pretty hardcore Heroes of Might and Magic fan for more years than I care to contemplate.
