60 of 75 · most liked firstIf you were initially cautious about "missing out" on new features and tried to figure out which game would be the most bang for your buck out of the Age of Fear series, it's actually a lot simpler than you'd think. I'll explain below. I suggest either buying the whole Age of Fear series or specifically the one whose story/characters draw you the most, because... - The series backports new updates and features to older games in the series. This means that, for example, if a new feature is…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Love the changes brought with the GOLD version: more story details/more units/more skills/procedural battles... Best entry in the series so far, the backporting to AOF2 and 3 will be great as well!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm curious about the business side of ultra-niche RPGs. Spiderweb, Soldak & Rad Codex do a game every 1-2 years, get ~300 reviews and keep afloat. That's great! But then you have Age of Fear... AoF4 had 42 reviews, AoF5 has 5 reviews, but it keeps going! :o store.steampowered.com/developer/ag...
unlabelledView post →You might see reviews that exclaim that this is a good game. Frankly it's not fun or enjoyable after 2 hours .The devs however have lied, cheated and gaslighted people who buy and play this game, keeping an info drought on this game so les can keep up his scummy and lie to players about the game. It's not worth 25 dollars, but it's certainly is a good thing I could write this review and give new player's a real look on this game. 1. AI isn't good: The AI is not a well-built AI. Deep inside the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you like "Age of Fear: The Free World" (you can just play it for free right here on steam) this is a pretty safe pickup.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Age of Fear Gold brings some new and very refreshing content to the already solid foundation from AoF 1, 2, 3, and the Free World. The classic story from Age of Fear 1 (not gold) was straight forward and linear. And while the story itself hasn't changed, how we as the player get to experience it has. With the new DLC and the random encounters, shops, and events, the game gives you just enough content on the side to give you a good break from the story and it gives nice rewards as well. They…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you've been craving for an almost like tabletop rpg with some jokes worse than the ones of your dad, this absolute FANTASTIC game is made for you.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I haven't had as much time as I would like to play but I have had some and overall it plays like any other age of fear game with, in my opinion, the best storylines in the series. Not to say I didn't like the stories from 2 or 3 just that the 1st entry is always the nearest and dearest to me for this series. So far I haven't made a whole lot of progress but what progress I have made makes me confident to give this game a thumbs up as it has everything about the original that was great with the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I have some mixed feelings about the changes from Age of Fear: the Undead King to Age of Fear: the Undead King GOLD - namely, the biggest change is adding the open-world stuff originally designed for Age of Fear 3, and it results in a campaign a lot more focused on maxed-out, super-elite units than the original linear campaign. This mostly feels like a drawback in the Undead campaign, where the signature ability of the necromancers, to raise the fallen as skeletons, is of limited usefulness…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I decided to play this game both because it has been in my library for ages and I noticed that the developer has frequent updates and additions for the full series (an active developer is something I value highly). My initial impression was that it wasn't bad but the graphics were somewhat off-putting (art style is subjective and top down isn't my cup of tea). I stuck at it and the more I played, the more I became engrossed in the depth and tactics of each battle. Cranking up the difficulty…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It looks like donkeys but I haven't been this enamored with a game since I started playing Dominions 5. Never mind the complaints about losing units, yeah it sucks you lose them but there's unending side battles to grind money and xp. Need to level quicker? Jack up the difficulty to Russian standard (not even joking lol) and get some extra xp for the new units, or actually utilize the variety of units and mercenaries as gold isn't a problem. You're limited to X number of units, where at the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I can't play it anymore, when I open it and load my saved game, it just freezes my computer and I have to turn off my pc. I don't know what the issue is, but I'm very disappointed.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →One of the best developers on steam, period. Their current project may be 5 games down the line from this game but if they come up with interesting mechanics, they always go back and update the new things from their latest game into all their old games as well. I LOVE that. The game play and mechanics are very fun, and the stories are engrossing enough with some pretty good humor to boot in some spots. My only negative is I HATE top down view. Would love to see 2.5 d in this series but its a…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm really liking this game. It's complex enough to get pwned if you rush in without thinking about tactics, yet at the same time, I'm not grinding away on some mission for 3 hours. I'm also not doing the "traveling salesman" thing digging thru bags of loot every session trying to figure out what to sell, what's junk, and how kit everybody out perfect. Loot is sparing and it's up to you how involved you want to be. When you win a battle or complete a mission, you get money - here, go buy what…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I've always enjoyed this game. The graphics are not "cutting edge" but the gameplay is enjoyable and that's what matters to me. I've just started the upgraded Gold version of the game and I can already see lots of improvements. Will, you enjoy it? Who knows but I do, therefore, I highly recommend it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Purchased the stay at home bundle. Great buy. Played Undead King first and am enjoying it. Runs GREAT on my iMac Catalina. After all the complex strategy games in my Library, the simplicity of this system with its surprising depth is just what I need at this troubling time. I am really impressed with the developers and how they have improved their games over time. Gamers can buy with confidence.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I've been an enthusiastic fan of turn-based tactical (TBT) games for over a decade and this is one of the greatest contributions to the genre that I've had the pleasure of experiencing. What makes this game stand out the most to me is the great variety of units that can be recruited while somehow managing to make them all very distinct and balanced. The vast majority of fantasy TBT games also opt for grid-based combat, but this game uses free-movement that is more interesting and very…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →TL:DR: Get this to pass some time, don't expect a grand story though I believe steam needs to add a something like a meh review, because this is the perfect meh game. I have mixed feelings about it. I played the free version, which was kinda meh and after a few hours I deleted because there is nothing to do besides battling after one after other, it becomes redundant. After that I bought this version because I wanted some undead and human faction story to spice things up, also I was bored af.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I cant support a dev who hands out perma bans and censors opposing comments, who post political messages out on steam knowingly starting problems between countries and friends who try to stay outof this on a gaming channel. We get banned for responding about politics by the person who breaks the community guidelines by posting a political topic. Sick of the hypocrisy that they break the community guidelines and abuse the system. I oppose censorship and misinformation on a subject that i have…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The Age of Fear is a fantastic turn based strategy series that I came to love immediately after trying it out. I played The Free World, the free-to-play open world version first, and within the first few hours I knew I'd end up with the entire series before long. Well now here I am, and I haven't had this much fun playing a Necromancer since Diablo II. My love for the undead aside, this series is handled by the devs in a unique way that is truly refreshing. They are all "the same" in the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Excellent turn based tactical rpg about building and levelling your army, with interesting campaign levels and randomly generated fights for fun and grinding. Smart AI makes it consistently engaging and so far havent been able to exploit it for easy wins. Fights actually feel like battles, with lots of units on each side and positioning/flanking important. UI is a little clunky but not to the point that it is impacting my enjoyment of the game TL;DR Age of Fear does everything you want a game…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Nice improvement of the original game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Games in this series are lots of fun. A review for one applies to them all really. When they add content to one game, the other games will eventually get it too. The difference is the story campaigns for each game. The stories in these games tend to be funny at some points and serious at others. And it works. There are characters you can recruit and characters you can catch so to speak in battles. Trying to create the perfect team for your playstyle is a lot of fun. After finishing the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Probably the most unpolished and poorly devised strategy games i've ever played. Very unbalanced battles...either way to easy or just impossible to win (think Kobayashi Maru). A WASTE OF MY TIME AND MONEY! I would not recommend.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →its a fun game, I died to a ghost as a lich, it was very embarrassing. That's when I swore to kill the ghost, I spent hours fighting him, summoning demon after demon. after all was said and done, I killed him, and all I got was to things; jack and ♥♥♥♥. Good game ether way though. 10/10 would buy again. serenely: man in the sand.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It is damn... good it is just like playing DnD with your buddies but you are alone, feels great lots of little bits or lore and the story comes along slowly like a good DnD game :)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Good game and very addicting. However it takes a while to completely upgrade squad members.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Surpisingly good! Deep interesting combat.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →not many games let me be a power hungry necromancer hellbent on world enslaving mankind age of fear the undead king gold is a great rpg/strategy with a nice story only complaint i have is the dlc are abit disappointing would have loved to have some undead pirates
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a very entertaining and tactical game. There is a good amount of items you can equip on characters and the blocking mechanic gives you a real sense of arranging a real battle line since your enemies can't just pass through your troops like in some other games. The story is also good and the new additions of faction bases and the more sandbox experience is very welcome. I look forward to the new releases coming in the series and the new content for the previous games, it is a fun and…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Its great. Not much for words. Banana!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great Turn based game. with army development.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a really good game and I highly recommend it. If you like Battle for wesnoth you might even like this MORE. Thank you Devloper for making these games and thank you for the amazing update scheme you got going across all 3.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun game with a lot of different troops type and the world map gives you a nice progression. The UI where you managed and upgrade your troops is a little clunky
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Glad someone tipped me off to this, this game is great if you want a fantasy tactics game. My only real nitpick is that ranged units fire through others without penalty but the game is so much fun otherwise i don't mind it here. Theres one called "The Free World' which you can play to see if you'd want to buy. Totally recommend, the game is super fun.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Why had I not heard about this game until the Steam Digital Essen Sale? What an excellent strtategy game that doesn't uses squares or hexagons, but free range movement like in miniature games. With the number of units, objects, random encounters, random events and story battles, there is a lot to do in one playthrough. I got the whole franchise with all DLCs during the sale and I can't wait to do all the stories/scenarios. There is one free game in the series if you want to try the game. The…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very well crafted game, especially for a small indie dev. While this has elements of a fantasy rpg (spellcasting units, magical items, fighting "monsters", etc.) it is an excellent turn-based tactics game. Each of the factions that you can play feels unique and requires different tactics to win battles. The stories can be hit and miss, sometimes they are funny and compelling, other times just ho-hum, but that is par for the course in even AAA games from my experience. Possibly the most…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is an absolute gem I am extremely grateful that such a game exist! :)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Recommendable, but not at full price as the game gets old fast.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Never judge a book by its cover. I was very surprised when found this diamond among many of indie-games. Nice design is pleasing to the eyes, great music, very nice story line, which is voiced in the form of a fantasy story - all that are creates the atmosphere of the game, that very addictive and don't let you go. Very nice Turn-based fights like Heroes or Kings Bounty series. You can proceed main story or play random fights to raise your hero and troops. HUGE amount of artifacts and items.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The Age of Fear series, available on Steam. I found them a few years ago, and enjoyed them a lot. They felt like an attempt to replicate small Warhammer Fantasy tabletop battles in a video game; they're indie games, but there's a huge variety of options and factions available.
unlabelledView post →This game is utterly amazing. Chock-full of pretty interesting (and voice-acted) story moments, randomized non-story scenarios and encounters, varieties of enemies and allies, unique equip-able gear and consumables (even for non-Hero units, if you change the setting), best Necromancer character I've ever played, and more and more and more. Biggest highlight for me: continuing QoL updates, game engine improvements and content additions. If you're not sure, try Age of Fear: The Free World!…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Hidden Gem This is a great turn-based tactics game. Has everything you would want from a game like this. Huge variety of units, plenty of upgrades, hero units that can equip items, huge variety of options. Many game mechanics can be customized to your liking - for example you can make all units able to equip items as if they were a hero unit. Different factions to play as but you can recruit units of any faction into your army (some may suffer morale penalties depending on their…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Be careful! It's addictive. It should be written on the description.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Review: Friday 9, September, 2022 For now I won't make a big review, because I haven't played enough of it yet, but I liked the game, it's a good game, and I want to play it more. Score: I give it a 4.5 of 5 stars for now.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I played the start of this a few times and it is very random. One game I got dwarven warriors which look really good then I got things that did not look so good. I could not be bothered to play the less good start. In a way it might be a better challenge but I just don't have the motivation to do it. I wonder why the game needs to be so random. Few people will replay it a lot of times. It may be better just to balance the difficulty levels carefully and provide a consistent game. In any case…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very fun, awesome fantasy game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →One of my favorite games, it's very simple so i can see why it's not very popular but it's a good challenge and i like to play it when i get home after a long day and don't have much time for anything else. (I only play on Death-Seeker difficulty, i'm sure the challenge is a lot less on the lower difficulties)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great game, if you don't like challenge. Challenge is also available, but it is togglable. Low on computer resources.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As someone who spent 100 plus hours on Free world i find this game addicting!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's buggy. Good god is it buggy. It literally crashed at the start of every other fight and that's not an exaggeration. Fortunately, it does autosave and I never lost progress, but still. The limited and identical voice sets for mages and alchemists is really annoying. And the fact that if you take even one step, you generally can't use any ability besides autoattack feels bad. But the game does enough right that if you're a fan of turn based fantasy strategy RPGs, you should still get it…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun low-budget TBS in a classic fantasy setting. You build up a troop, recruiting and leveling up units as you progress. The graphics are rudimentary but functional and non-intrusive. The music is simple and fits. Reminiscent of Wesnoth, Warbanners, and other indie titles. I enjoyed it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun interesting game lot of equip and minions.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun game! The inventory management system is rather tedious and grinding. I cannot say I care for managing the equipment of fifteen to 12 soldiers. However, this is still a good turn based wargame. If you liked Baldur's Gate or Fantasy General, you'll like this.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Finally getting around to trying this game. It's quite fun so far. The interface took a bit to figure out. It could be due to the fact the game is older and does not play well with Windows 10. When in the character screen I found I had to double-click on most things to get them to work. Once I got the hang of it, it is much better. I love the storyline so far and the way the game opens up quickly, with many different places to visit. The battles are interesting once I found out there…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Classic RPG in the style of AD&D, simple but engaging.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I would recommend this if you like or want to try turn-based with an old school feel. Has a variety of units to use and great sound effects. Combat can be challenging but not impossible. Cool story to go along with a campaign map where you can choose which areas to explore or battles to try next.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It is a nice game, quite addictive and with interesting mechanics.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A deep long story; turn-based combat at its best!
