An unkown gem for everyone who enjoys hardcore CRPGs. The game has replayability, you can choose many backgrounds to start with and end up with a lot of different endings. The setting is very interesting and keeps you hooked. The combat system is engaging and fun but if you want you can decide to create a non-combatant character and completely ignored it.
Age of Decadence competes with both Divinity and Pillars of Eternity as the greatest RPG of the 2010s. This game is the prime example of artistic direction beating out over-bloated budgets. This game knows exactly what it is, and expands upon that, to allow branching and unique possibilities. This is a vision that is perfectly realized with surgical precision Age of Decadence an RPG made for RPG fans by a developer/writer that knows, exactly, what makes an RPG great.
This is a fantastic game! But it is so unforgiving its ridiculous. You have to plan out everything that you do and even then it can go sideways in a second. There are a lot of different options that each lead to a different path and outcome. Its an absolute gem of a game that makes you think harder then most games out there. If you like being a masochist and experiencing the pure torture of failing 9/10 attempts (which I do) I highly recommend this game.
This game is an absolute gem but definitely not for everyone. Besides it feeling like 90's RPGs it's very difficult (especially the combat) and not beginner friendly. The game is set in a roman inspired, "post apocalyptic" world with only a few surviving communities, scarce resources and lost knowledge and technology. The game's combat is incredibly difficult and relies heavily on RNG (hit and dodge chances) but the choices both in character and on the character sheet have a huge impact on the story and locations you can visit. It's incredible how diverse the experience can be depending on your character's background, build and choices. My first character was an assassin, completely uninterested in investigating the old world and wholly focused on surviving the new world. With a build centered around combat, I was constantly engaged in combat and if RNG was nice to me I could wipe the floor with most enemies. The story took a path of intrigue, betrayal and conflict between the two "kingdoms". The second character had a completely different story. He was a loremaster centered on attaining knowledge of the old world. I avoided all the combat I could since I would just get ♥♥♥♥ on and the path this character's story took was about discovering lost knowledge and technology and ended up with him flying around a UFO and becoming a god. This is the story diversity most RPGs dream about having. This game here is true to the "roleplaying" part of RPG and choices in this game are not just flavor text but take the story down entirely different paths and really encourage replaying the game with different characters. All in all, it feels "old" and is really hard but the world, story and choices more than make up for it. Great game and absolutely worth the price of 14€.
I've bought 5 copies of this game to gift to friends since it came out and I always try to make sure I buy it at full price because I know how much of a gamble this game was to make. I'm still holding out hope for a true sequel or even a spiritual successor in the same world. I don't think this game is for everyone, but I don't mind footing the cost for someone to give it a try and find out they really like it. For people who can appreciate it, I think there are very few games like it. As for the difficulty, which its biggest point of contention, I'll say this: It's a legitimately tough game that expects you to think like it wants you to think and fight like it wants you to fight and it is unapologetic and unforgiving about that fact. I think the difference between frustration and fulfillment is acknowledgement of that as a player. It's a difficult climb, but mastery over the game's systems really feels like a genuine accomplishment as you learn to do so much with so very little. In the right hands, the humble pugio can claim more than a hundred lives in a playthrough. On the other hand, the game also rewards other methods and forms of play too. It is possible to get through the game by wheeling and dealing and choosing the right dialogue options. There's a fair amount of freedom in how you choose to approach the world, which makes subsequent playthroughs pretty fun. What keeps me coming back is the setting though. It has a very specific feeling of well... an empire that has suffered a post-decadence fall. We're living in the ashes of all the we once knew and the glory days are behind us. The world is bleak and harsh and it feels real; on the surface you have a familiar historical-fantasy roman apocalypse, yet beneath that veneer of a lost world is a civilization much different and far more mysterious than meets the eye. I usually recommend the Loremaster start for new players because it is the best way to experience that mystery, otherwise your meathead merc may sell that one-of-a-kind shiny bauble for a few coins to buy another bola and remain forever ignorant of the sins of his forebearers. On the other hand, it's also fun to take the world at face value and dive into the visceral life or death struggle that a simple mugging exposes you to; only a fool worries about philosophy while he bleeds to death. However, if someone is only going to play through this game once, I would strongly assert that they should see the world through a Loremaster's eyes.
