About

Build, Gather and Fight in a Desperate Last Stand Against an Onslaught of Never Ending Evil!
The darkness is an entity of evil. Some say it is the manifestation of human fear and nightmares, others say it is a wandering mass of damned souls haunting us. The origin of the darkness itself is unknown, but one thing for certain is that we can keep it at bay through the power of light and fire.
The complete, full release of Age of Darkness: Final Stand is available now and includes Co-operative Multiplayer, Campaign, and Survival modes.

Brace yourself against huge tidal waves of Nightmares. Leveraging an internally developed technology called ‘SwarmTech’ allows the game to render over 70,000 enemy units on the screen at one time. These enemy legions claw their way up through seething fissures in the earth to reinforce ‘The Veil’.

Light up a rich, complex, procedurally generated map to claim territory back from ‘The Veil’. A dynamic living death fog that conceals enemies and drains life from your troops. Holding the line against this terror is not for the faint of heart.

Borrowing from the the roguelite genre, Malices are random afflictions placed on the player during every Death Night, unraveling the best made plans. Conversely, if a Death Night is survived, you may decide between three randomly selected Blessings, enriching the experience and giving your army a much needed edge.

Lead the charge against the horrors of the night with powerful and unique Heroes. Using special abilities gained from leveling up, these Heroes can be key to turning the tide of a desperate battle. But beware, the Nightmares have Elite roaming champions of their own that drop precious resources when killed, posing an extreme and ever-present threat to your expansion.

I'd wait for a sale.. It doesn't seem like there is anymore plans for this game. Shame really. I was hoping for more co-op stuff other than survival. The amount of hours I have is because I got bored fast doing the same thing over and over in co-op.
Upvoting this game because of all the childish downvotes. People expect every game nowadays to be a service that gets infinite support and content. This is a finished product that provides a cool campaign that is somewhere aiming in a WC3 direction and there is of course the free game mode, which is a lot of fun, especially when playing with friends. Yes it has its weaknesses and some bugs, but please show me one finished game which hasn't. If you like tower defense with a pinch of rts, this might be your jam.
An amazing mix of RTS and Tower Defense. The game is difficult with the right amount of rng from different map seeds, so that you have to always adapt and never know what to expect. Contrary to what recent comments seem to imply, the game is finished with a Warcraft III-like campaign, a multiplayer mode and a solo survival mode that are difficult to beat. I showed this game to multiple friends that love tower defense and rts games, and they immediately liked it.
Very slow and clunky. Units get stuck on each other, they randomly stop moving, they ignore enemies right next to them. I'm used to the fast paced responsiveness of something like Star Craft 2. This game was a major let down.
This game ticks all of my boxes. Strategy. Defense. Towers. Choke points. Not to long, but not to short. Good Co-Op. Good stuff. Campaign is a bit lackluster but still good
Отвратительная игра. Купил ее подумав что это клон They Are Billions. Если бы. Игра раз в 10 хуже. Подтормаживает, плохо проработана, скучные фракции. Но особенно меня разочаровало то что в 2026 году разрабы додумались ограничивать количество сохранений (при том всего 1 сохранением) и убрали возможность менять сложность. Если ваш продукт купили то уважайте и не ограничивайте своих покупателей.
Devs appeared to have vanished.
Honestly, a pretty decent RTS but I would agree with the sentiment that it isn't quite finished yet. The campaign ends abruptly and it definitely gives you the vibe they had much more planned. I didn't play the survival mode that much, but I think thats the main draw for this game, but on sale the campaign is worth a quick 10-20 hours playthrough.
Can't reach 60FPS even at medium
wasted potential
