Oct. 2025
This game offers something genuinely unique in the strategy game space, but it really needs more QoL and transparent mechanics. It often feels frustratingly opaque and sometimes downright unfair, like it's actively working against you rather than with you. For example, plot-critical characters can simply die without warning or meaningful player agency to prevent it. I didn't even realize they were essential until like 10h later when you're already locked out of the good ending. Six Ages has a bunch of design choices like that which feel needlessly punishing. So after a dozen or so hours playing "blind", I started reading lyreofsheliak's guides (by Uryarda, you're the goat! :D) and alt-tabbed to the fandom wiki sometimes to make the experience tolerable. Further, it's crucial to understand what this game isn't: it's not a sandbox steppe nomad simulator or a 4X strategy game. On first glance, it may seem that it offers freedom and multiple viable playstyles, but Six Ages is surprisingly linear in how it expects you to play, especially if you want to reach the ending. (especially the good one) For example, I initially tried to build an aggressive warrior clan focused on military conquest, only to discover that conquest and/or eradicating other clans is essentially unsupported by the game's systems. Even if you limit it to constant raiding with the goal to make the other clans cower in fear before you, it will backfire after some time. That said, when Six Ages clicks and you get what the game wants from you, it really shines. The setting is super unique, I've never encountered anything quite like this. You get Bronze Age-inspired nomadic culture mixed with magic and fantasy tropes that it puts its own spin on. Worldbuilding and lore are exceptional and not just window dressing but actually integrated into the gameplay mechanics. The art is beautiful and fits the theme and setting quite well, too. Storytelling is also strong with an impressive amount of events, some with branching sub-plots and on top of that tons of hidden stuff to discover, which make multiple playthroughs engaging. The genre itself (I have no idea what you'd call this?) was completely new to me, which made the experience feel extra fresh. Six Ages is really a hidden gem. A somewhat obscure, very niche and flawed one, but a gem nonetheless. I'm excited for the sequel!

This is the kind of game that professional narrative designers dream about creating. I would know, I am one, and I do. A work of art.

I'm enjoying it. It picks up on the King of Dragon Pass setting and refines it suitably for a game 20 years later while not losing the essence of the text driven narrative clan building sim rpg big bundle of different elements. That said, it still can be pretty opaque for how things work if you're new to this, and you can see that in some of the responses it can get. This is a world of magic and spirits, where 100 men may not count for as much as the right prayer to the right god at the right time. Which can be pretty frustrating until you do figure out those systems. Where these games shine is the world building and setting. The familiar made strange. The tropes toyed with. So far, for me, it's proving to be a worthy sequel to the original.

I highly recommend this game to any fans of Runequest. The game can be a bit punishing at times, but the lore, music, and amazing artwork will keep you coming back again and again. If you have never heard of or played Runequest, I still recommend this game. The setting, Glorantha, is unique and has the best world building I have ever experienced.
