Heritor secret tech is a new type of secret tech branch, but for players who have already played Age of Wonders: Planetfall, it will seem very similar to aspects of the Celestian, Xenophage, or Synthesis branches. The new campaign feels a little less personal and more divorced from the characters, since it dives into the secrets of an older past rather than the immediate history of the Star Union, but this is, to an extent, forgivable, since it seems uncharitable to complain about an expansion feeling like an expansion.
They try to uncover the secrets of the Es’teq Dynasty, the predecessors of the Star Union that collapsed before the events of the main game. The new campaign features two protagonists: Marlok Tenor, a former member of a house from the organized crime faction the Syndicate, and Hatyl Es’ran, a member of the insectoid Kir’ko race. In addition to building a new civilization, the player also uncovers the secrets of a long-dead space empire. It has the standard four X's of the genre, allowing the player to explore, expand, exploit, and exterminate, but also heavily features a fifth X: exhume.
Age of Wonders: Planetfall sets itself apart from other 4X games through the deep history built into every facet of the game, through the lore, the different factions, and even the game mechanics themselves.
