It's First Edition Dungeons and Dragons laid out for you, but with a DM who takes no prisoners and gives nothing away. It's a combination of RPG and Wargame in which you can take the glory when everything goes right, but you also get a kicking when it all goes pear-shaped. You can choose to buy the entire package at a suitable discount during a sale, or pick at the individual adventures. Either way, you get a huge amount of simple content that you can return to not too long after your first ragequit because the simplicity demands that you try again.

Imaginary conversation between lover of old fantasy/RPG/strategy games like Fantasy General, Might&Magic series, and a would-be game developer. 'Look, can you make a game we would like?' 'OK, what do you like about the past games you had?' *Sighs and gives a long list* 'That just fine. How about adding a few of our ideas?' And this is the point where most games fail. This time however the result is great. Pros: - unit development (quantity and quality of options) is simply the best feature of the game - battles (hex-free system is OK, UI is comfortable - artwork (this is subjective, I liked it) - humor - lots of options for gameplay. You can play as the devs wanted, but can make it like you want as well Cons: - sounds could be more polished - graphics are OK, but nothing spectacular. Now, if you are looking at this game, this is probably not an issue. - zoom is gradual (this is a conveniance issue really) Thumbs up, got me hooked.

When I first purchased the game, I was worried that I might have been better off lighting a ten and a five on fire and watching the brief flame would provide more entertainment. I mean with the cringey low budget live acted trailer and the visual novel-esque cover art, the curb appeal might leave something to be desired(besides the huge melons on the succubus in the sequel) I digress, in the brief time I've played so far it has absolutely solid turnbased/tabletop gameplay ditching the hexes for circular ranges. It has an excellent rpg system after every mission where you can equip new weapons/armor to your hero and upgrade your units with new classes/abilities, which is just downright fun and hits a sweet spot of maintaining a robust system without venturing into over complexity. The campaign(s) seem relatively lenghty and well made with a dab of dry ass humor(thumbs up), nifty illustrations, and holy shit surprisingly not really that bad voice acting. It makes me feel like I'm back in parents basement booting up my Gateway 2000 to play Warcraft II or Heroes of Might and Magic. Even if you're not nostalgic, its a solid game worth picking up especially on sale.

Fun game. Well worth the purchase. The unit progression is a little more complex than wesnoth except for your hero which has access to a lot of different equipment. The charm of this game is that it is hexless and units can't move through each other. This creates interesting tactical battles where you are trying to concentrate forces in one place while blocking/tanking or kiting in another. I have not played a game quite like this one before. I should really say more, but I must get back to the game!

Age of Fear is, at its core, a turn-based tactical game about small unit battles similar in feel to Battle for Wesnoth. It has some RPG elements and a unifying story for each campaign, along with the occasional text adventure-like choice to make. The battle system is strong and well balanced. The game is not hex-based and allows for free movement. It takes a bit to get used to how you can effectively use melee units to block access to your ranged/spellcaster units, but once you get the hang of it, it is a thing of beauty. As a single-player game I found it a bit short; I finished the campaign in about 15 hours on Normal. I would have liked to see more content; I enjoyed each aspect of the game (the battles, the ongoing campaign, text choices, unit recruitment and development, building up my heroes with items and such) but felt that I really wanted to see more of each. The concept and elements came together well, but I was left wanting more. I ended up purchasing this at full price (about $13) after playing through the Age of Fear 2 campaigns; the developers are retroactively updating AoF to match the AoF2 updates/patches, so it was worth it to me.
