My friends on steam know that I have to completely love a game, or absolutely hate it, to bother with a review. Unfortunately that surprise is ruined by the thumbs up spoiler they put on these reviews. All I can do to make up for that spoiler, is tell you what you will be getting yourself into with this title. Bear in mind, this game is a trilogy and I have only played this installment (What can I say, I love Chaos on Warhammer, and the succubus looks like that girl all of us took home after drinking a case of beer, but you wake up next to the orc, so.....) What is it? Age of Fear two is an rpg/war strategy hybrid with some micromanagement (of your forces) and turn based gameplay. There are two complete stories with each installment, and each story is long enough to be its own game. There are multiple paths, quite a few secrets, 100s of units and items just as the description says, and every one of them is useful, as are all of the units. There is no filler here, as everything has a purpose and a time when it can be invaluable to you. Right away the game assumes you have experience in the genre, and as such it gets you going with some challenging battles early on, although it does give you a tutorial on how to play in the first couple of missions. There are countless skills to master, and some of your units can actually evolve into elite classes (Fire Emblem/Shining Force fans will be pleased with this feature, as its very well done, I just wish ALL units had an evolution tree, but hey, a good number of them do, so...) Units carry over from battle to battle, and you can select how they grow, from buying stat upgrades for them, to buying skills and spells, no two units are alike. The game uses a rng dice system, based on D6 so it isnt as frustrating as alot of games which use a rng. By keeping the numbers low, it actually FEELS like pen and paper combat that, lets face it, started the genre and is a system that few developers successfully pull off. But THIS game did, with a gold star! The AI is also VERY capable. In over 40 hrs of playing, I had YET to see the AI do something stupid, instead they will advance on you slowing guard each others flanks, rush in to save a comrade, this developer isnt lying when he claimed his AI was excellent in his description! Youll move through the story, mission by mission on a world map, with some non combat related surprises along the way as well that can also benefit you. There are optional battles, and battles that progress the story. I am kind of hoping re-doable skirmish battles are added at some point as well, which would REALLY up the replay value for us grinders, but its a solid game nonetheless. Other then your hero units, your units need to be careful of permenant injuries and perma death, which always adds a bit of tension, especially when some units that you get in some situations are NOT replacable, so if that awesome, 6 headed hydra you got for making a certain choice at a certain time dies, your S.O.L. until the next playthrough. But as long as you use care, such special units dont go down with ease. Units are also limited (they dont cost gold, but items do) unless your playing on easy, so use them wisely. How many you can field, depends on Hero upgrades. You can have 30 in your roster, and so far I have been able to put 15 on the field (I'll be honest that I have only reached about the middle of the campaign so I dont know if thats the limit or not). I LOVE that this developer has faith that his fans are not to stupid to handle a large roster like this. Most games cap you out at 6 to 10 units, and that always disapointed me. The best games, like Fire Emblem, or my favorite classic Dark Wizard, give you large rosters, and I must say this game really has the vibe of the later 2 in gameplay. You can even choose to stay on the field when a battle ends, to search out any secrets, so you dont have to risk your units doing it during the fight. Another GREAT feature, to be sure! The story is tongue in cheek with a serious undertone. There are some great story moments, some moments that made me laugh my ass off due to top quality humor, but there are a couple of cringyworthy moments as well. I read the whole story for both campaigns in the mod files, and I would say its a solid B+ for fantasy fans, maybe a tad higher. The anti-hero in the picture, the succubus Bel Kara, kind of grows on you quickly, with her smug "I can do whatever the hell I want" attitude, and her genuinely slutty aproach to everything, she is a very well done protagonist for the Chaos path, and I hope to see more of her in other stories. All of the characters from all instalments cross paths at different times as well. Im starting to think there is a larger, connected plot to it all, but im not sure yet. As for the music, its a perfect fit. From the inspired war drums, to classic rpg scores, the music never falls short on setting the right atmosphere for every situation. There is only a couple of weak points I can see, and they are by no means game killers. One, I already mentioned, is the need for either a new game plus feature, or redoable skirmish battles. We players who are into this genre are usually grinders and completists as well, and if they were to add those, it would litterally double replayability. The other would be the graphics. This series is NOT made out of the same eye candy that the sucubus is. Its a top down, 2D view, and it works for what it is. So if your the type of gamer I am, you will not mind these graphics at all, in fact by the second or third battle, I actually didnt mind AT ALL. But if your looking for modern, ground breaking graphics, this aint it. As for the voice acting, its decent enough (It would have been MUCH better if a female and others spoke the parts in the narrative for the characters, but is otherwise good to acceptable. Overall I HIGHLY recommend this title to fans turn based srpg/fantasy hybrids. The developer of this game is constantly upgrading it, and when he does, I was told he upgrades the whole series. Once you see the vast number of units, Items, upgrades, maps, and other surprises I wont spoil here (if you wanna know, buy it!) You will know what I knew a few hours in. That this was a labour of love, and created at a standard I really wish more indy games would thrive for. Ive seen people BEGGING in online forums for a game like this, and at least now, I can respond with "Age of Fear is a Masterpiece well worth a look!" T
Fun tactical, squad, turn based, RPG. If you like the first one you'll like this. I like it better than the first. I don't have loads of playtime but I played the first game too and I have a newborn, just turned 3 months taking my time. I like it and I will continue playing it as time permits. I've also not seen any bugs. I recommend it to people who typically like this type of game.
Some of the problems of the first game still exist but are being worked on and will be fixed soon. Aside from that AoF2 is a more well rounded game for several reasons. Firstly, you have choices at various points that break up the pure linearity of the first game and this makes the player feel more active in the story. I was a little disappointed to see that the nice background artwork from the first game was replaced by digitised images but this really doesn't detract from the game in any way other than some minor aesthetics. I assume this is purely down to production cost and time constraints. Units are more balanced and interesting and the two new campaigns offer both very different story and subtle but important changes to gameplay. As before the game is fun to play and certainly nothing has been lost that would be sorely missed. Overall the improvements don't make a radically different game but they add up enough to have changed my review from a thumbs down to a thumbs up. Once again this does not mean The Undead King isn't worth the time of the right person - just that in my opinion this is the better of the two games and I, therefore, recommend it to anyone who likes turn based strategy. *edit* recent updates have improved the game further.
A good little turn based strategy rpg featuring two different campaigns. The first, featuring you as a demon is easier. The second, where you play as an orc, is a bit tougher. Pros: Combats play quickly. Fair variety of units. Hilarious writing in the story sections. Choose your own adventure style quest. A fair amount of customization options for your army, what you bring, and how you level them up. If you take the time to read it, there are help screens that will walk you through all the mechanics of the game. Lots of options to craft the experience you want. Cons: The graphics are not great. 17 pages of different licenses was a little weird. One of the licenses for Quara something was "use at your own risk". Um.... ok. Scrolling the screen to move around is very clunky sometimes, and I found I kept needing to switch camera depth. All in all a worthwhile experience for the price. I recommend this to anyone that likes this style of game.
I definitely do recommend this game. Pros: - Fun TBS game with a decent AI which provides a decent challenge. It's no match for an experienced strategist, but makes the game fairly enjoyable. - Your units gather XP which allows you to improve them. - Heroes can also find and equip items to improve their stats - The developer is very active on the forums, and will spend time fixing any bugs that are found. - As the name suggests, the campaigns are from the perspective of the evil factions. - Completing both campaigns takes around 30 hours in total. Cons: - The weak point of the game is really the graphics, as can be seen in the screenshots. However, it is an indie developer, and the game is around $10. It's no worse than those 8-bit games that are becoming so popular again. - The writing can sometimes be a bit amateur-ish. But the overall story are fairly interesting (if generic fantasy stuff). - MP is currently only via connect by IP (although the developer is working on changing that!)
