About
Play as either Nairi, an imprisoned Dryad fighting for her freedom, or Gilrock, a drunken Dwarven Lord on a quest to restore his family's honour (or just to kick some arse!). Teaming up with a bloodthirsty Drider warrior on one hand or a whip-smart spellcaster on the other, these heroes are prepared for the worst.
AGE OF FEAR is a long-running series of fantasy turn-based strategy games loved by fans for its tabletop wargame battle system and in-depth RPG customization. Age of Fear 3: The Legend is our third addition to the series which offers enhancements like World Map, Relics, Global Events and procedurally generated battles! (scroll down for a list of features)

⭐HEX-FREE BATTLES - test your tactics with a novel movement system where size matters and units aren't constrained by artificial grids!
⭐OPEN WORLD - are you bored with the main storyline? No worries, you can always take a side-quest or play procedurally-generated battles. Play this game as you want!
⭐GLOBAL EVENTS that occur while exploring the World Map, à la Battle Brothers. This feature is still being developed and could serve to provide more lore and fun unit interactions conditional on the player's party!
⭐FACTION BASES which can be upgraded as you explore the Age of Fear world. Investing in base upgrades will unlock additional recruitable units, skills and locations to explore
⭐MERCENARIES - recruit your troops from multiple races and factions! Will a Dwarven Warrior work with a bloodthirsty Orc?

⭐DEEP BATTLE MECHANICS - learn the basics in a hurry, then develop new strategies around a huge variety of skills, spells and battle hazards like neutral factions and environmental effects (yes, you can anger bystanders!).
⭐EASY TO MOD - create your own missions, or even full-fledged campaigns, to be shared with the Steam community!
⭐FANTASY STORYTELLING - get wrapped up in two separate storylines featuring a motley crew of characters, globetrotting adventures and fantasy shenanigans galore. All hand-illustrated!
⭐PERMANENT DEATH - accept the grim realities of death where all units that fall in battle stay dead... unless an evil Necromancer raises them as Zombies.
⭐ARTEFACTS AND RELICS - discover numerous unique weapons, armours, potions and treasures, with the rarest granting powerful OP skills and stat bonuses.
⭐ADVANCED AI - our AI is built upon a self-organizing network of agents and meta-heuristics algorithms (yes, we are PhD-smart!). Discover one of the most sophisticated AI systems you've ever played against!

[h1] Information / Review English [/h1] Age of Fear 3 The Legend is a tactica,l turn-around Strategy and RPG Game, which was developed by Leslaw Sliwko. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P2sLh4uHOQU [h1] Gameplay / Story [/h1] A villain captures mystical Creatures to have them fight for Entertainment only, so that others can amuse themselves. It doesn't matter whether they get injured or even die. The Story is from the Point of view of the bad Guys, while your Character is a Dryad, a Creature of Nature who has been captured, escapes and fights its way through the Land with the help of a rider (half Spider, half Dark elf). who had also been captured to fight in the Arena. Along the way, you will try to save other Creatures and solve some problems you may have Encountered. The Game offers you two different Campaigns, which are about Dryads and Dwarves. The Battles are fought in different regions located on a World map so you have an Idea of where you are going and how far you are from the City you escaped from. You can make multiple Choices along the way, whether to avoid a fight or get involved in which side of a fight to help, etc. You have a Map, lots of Obstacles and you need to move your Units intelligently so as not to block each other and still protect your Wizards from Melee attacks by the enemy. There are no squares or hexagons on the Map, but your Units have Bases that must move past another unit's Base in order to pass through. Whenever you select a Unit, it clearly shows where it can and cannot go. Managing units is a lot of fun. You can recruit different types of units, improve them one by one by giving them Skills, and even give the Hero units all kinds of special Equipment. You can choose to Upgrade your units yourself as they Level up: you can either spend XP right away and pick what's already available, or wait for a better, more expensive Feature. There are many different units for you to recruit, each with their own unique characteristics. If you lose a Unit that is not revived during a Battle, all you have to do is recruit an inexperienced new one. So be careful during your fights. On the Battlefields, you will find Gold and Equipment that you can collect during the fight by smashing Boxes and Chests to upgrade your units. Dealers have become superfluous. [h1] Pro [/h1] + interesting and exciting Stories + gripping Missions + extensive Character development + 2 different Campaigns + Combat system + lots of different Troops and Equipment + solid Background music + Achievements and Trading cards [h1] Contra [/h1] - outdated Graphics - Tutorial could be better [h1] Conclusion [/h1] Age of Fear 3 The Legend offers you a wonderfull Fantasy strategy Game, with lots of Loot and extensive Characters development. Clear buy recommendation in this Genre. PS: First of all, many thanks to the developer who made this key available to us for the group. Here you can find more good reviews from others and me at https://store.steampowered.com/curator/26335619-Adult-World-Gamers/. [h1] Information / Review Deutsch [/h1] Age of Fear 3 The Legend ist ein taktisches Runden-Strategie – Rollenspiel, welches von Leslaw Sliwko entwickelt wurde. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P2sLh4uHOQU [h1] Gameplay / Geschichte [/h1] Ein Bösewicht fängt mystische Kreaturen ein, um diese in einer nur für Unterhaltung kämpfen zu lassen, damit sich andere darüber amüsieren können. Dabei ist es egal ob diese sich verletzen oder sogarr sterben werden. Die Geschichte ist aus der Sicht der Bösen, während Ihr Charakter eine Dryade ist, eine Kreatur der Natur, die gefangen genommen wurde, entkommt und sich mit Hilfe eines Reiters (halb Spinne, halb Dunkelelfe) durch das Land kämpft. die auch gefangen genommen worden waren, um in der Arena zu kämpfen. Unterwegs wirst du versuchen, andere Kreaturen zu retten und einige Probleme zu lösen, auf die du gestoßen bist. Das Spiel bietet dir zwei verschiedene Kampangen, welche von Dryaden und Zwergen handelt. Die Schlachten werden in verschiedenen Regionen ausgetragen, die sich auf einer Weltkarte befinden, so dass Sie eine Vorstellung davon haben, wohin Sie gehen und wie weit Sie von der Stadt entfernt sind, aus der Sie geflohen sind. Sie können auf dem Weg mehrere Entscheidungen treffen, ob Sie einen Kampf vermeiden oder sich darauf einlassen, auf welcher Seite eines Kampfes Sie helfen usw. Sie haben eine Karte, viele Hindernisse und müssen Ihre Einheiten auf intelligente Weise bewegen, um sich nicht gegenseitig zu blockieren und Ihre Zauberer dennoch vor Nahkampfangriffen des Feindes zu schützen. Es gibt keine Quadrate oder Sechsecke auf der Karte, aber Ihre Einheiten haben Basen, die sich an der Basis einer anderen Einheit vorbei bewegen müssen, um hindurchzugehen. Wann immer Sie eine Einheit auswählen, wird klar angezeigt, wohin sie gehen kann und wohin nicht. Die Verwaltung von Einheiten macht viel Spaß. Sie können verschiedene Arten von Einheiten rekrutieren, sie einzeln verbessern, indem Sie ihnen Fähigkeiten verleihen, und den Heldeneinheiten sogar alle Arten von Spezialausrüstung geben. Sie können die Upgrades Ihrer Einheiten selbst auswählen, wenn sie aufsteigen: Sie können entweder sofort XP ausgeben und auswählen, was bereits verfügbar ist, oder auf eine bessere, teurere Eigenschaft warten. Es gibt viele verschiedene Einheiten, die Sie rekrutieren können, jede mit ihren eigenen einzigartigen Eigenschaften. Wenn Sie während eines Kampfes eine Einheit verlieren, die nicht wiederbelebt wird, müssen Sie nur eine unerfahrene neue rekrutieren. Seien Sie also während Ihrer Kämpfe vorsichtig. Auf den Schlachtfeldern findest du Gold und Ausrüstung, die du während des Kampfes sammeln kannst, indem du Kisten und Truhen zerschmetterst, um deine Eineiten aufzurüsten. Händler sind so mit überflüssig geworden. [h1] Pro [/h1] + interessante und spannende Geschichten + packende Missionen + umfangreiche Charakter-Entwicklung + 2 verschiedene Kampangen + Kampfsystem + viele verschiedene Truppen und Ausrüstungen + solide Musikuntermalung + Errungenschaften und Sammelkarten [h1] Kontra [/h1] - veraltete Grafik - Tutorial könnte besser sein [h1] Fazit [/h1] Age of Fear 3 The Legend bietet dir rundenbasierte Fantasy-Strategie mit viel Beute und umfangreicher Charakter-Entwicklung. Klare Kaufempfehlung in diesem Genre. PS: Zunächst einmal vielen Dank an den Entwickler, der uns diesen Schlüssel für die Gruppe zur Verfügung gestellt hat.

[h1]Opening/ Information[/h1] Reading a review is not enough? Want to see some footage? Check the link and watch some game footage for yourself and decide if this game is worth your time: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P2sLh4uHOQU Age of Fear 3 is a tabletop game with a great narration and some unique unit developments, using a cartooning art style similar to the retro Warhammer tabletop games from 2000 The Age of Fear franchise is developed by Leslaw Sliwko for 4 years now, and they truly are becoming a master for this genre and I think all of us are going to have a great new experience with the upcoming Age of Fear 4 coming this April. [h1]Gameplay / Story[/h1] Lady Nature and her Drider against the world! You are the queen of Dryads, the Lady of nature and well, its kinda boring, lucky for me, you also have an eight legged drider who will fight like… let's say a hungry spider! The age of fear games are one thing, easy to play but hard to master, why? All units get exp and most of them can evolve in giant beasts. From a nice little seed unit to a giant Mammoth Tree you get it by time, and you will love it. The Narration is spot on and together with the soundtrack it is so much fun to play this game. Let's switch to the gameplay, everyone who has already played tabletop or the Age of Fear games knows what's coming to him. You will have a setup phase to deploy your units, movement phase and fighting phases are added to one. It plays wonderful and only two times I had the feeling the game would not move like I wanted it to. [h1]Pro[/h1] + a lot of different creatures with unique skills and spells + Heroes have high tier skills (enslave or instakill) + Different Bosses with unique skill sets + Campaign map is huge with a variety of things to do + huge amount of side quests + fully skill customizable units [h1]Contra[/h1] - Graphics are outdated - a lot of tedious side quests - unit balancing is sometimes off, range unit seem to be too weak [h1]Conclusion/ Who will enjoy the game?[/h1] Age of Fear 3 offers an addictive game with unique units and a really great effort for a tabletop game. Their is a reason why this franchise, even with this graphics holds up so much, it's the Turn based fighting with a fully upgradable party who can suck so much time out of you to just understand the perfect unit combo for you. It will take some time to get the basic understanding which kind of unit is more powerful than the other and since part 3 has a moral system you also need to check which faction units you use. In case it is the wrong one you units will do far less damage than they can. A lot to consider and check your actions. So who will enjoy this game? Do you like Tabletop games with a great narration? A really well written story and huge RPG elements? Do you like games like Heroes of might and Magic, but you wished for a unit management that considers more than just numbers? Well here you are, and you can have the complete Tabletop RPG Cake.

Age of Fear 3: The Legend is a turn-based tactical combat game that focuses more on gameplay than graphics. The developers admit the visuals aren’t flashy, but the deep combat system more than makes up for it. You control two campaigns: one with a dryad and a spider-like drider teaming up, and another about a drunken dwarf lord on a rampage. Both stories are fun and full of humor. The game is made up of missions where you face new enemies and challenges. Sometimes, losing a mission can even unlock secret story paths, so don’t be afraid to try different approaches. Battles take place on open battlefields without grids, so moving your units around carefully is important. Positioning melee fighters and ranged units well is key, as crowded spaces can block movement. Between missions, you can recruit new units, upgrade your troops, and customize your heroes with different abilities and gear. This lets you shape your army to fit your play style. The game requires smart tactics—rushing in blindly usually ends badly. You’ll need to adjust your strategy depending on enemy types and mission objectives. The enemy AI is impressive and uses smart tactics like retreating, focusing fire, and using area attacks. I didn’t run into any serious bugs, though sometimes clicks didn’t register right away, and some equipment effects were confusing at first. Overall, Age of Fear 3 delivers solid tactical combat with simple visuals but lots of depth. It’s great if you like strategy and don’t mind the modest graphics. If you’re unsure, the earlier games in the series are cheaper and offer a similar experience to try out. Rating: 8/10
Fantastic RPG, fantastic series! A+++ for me as far as tactical RPGs go. Play the whole series, lose yourself in the countless hours of pure enjoyment. Hope this helps! Much love. <3
I bought this game during a sale and sat on it for way longer than I should have. What can I say, the graphics and presentation sort of put it the "I'll get to it when I get to it" pile. Well, I finally got to it and I had a great time! 🏆 And funnily enough, the game has only gotten better with age. 👨🍳🤏 That's because the excellent developers "backport" innovations from others in the series to their games, so you get to enjoy the latest and greatest when you play. They really are great -- and response and friendly on the forums, too. 🤗 Anyone who likes turn-based army games (FF tactics, Age of Wonders, Ogre Battle, etc.) will enjoy Age of Fear. You get to run an army, upgrade your troops, try lots of different units and tactics, and have a guided campaign (or two) to keep you going. The design is generous with options and allows for a wide range of difficulties. Pick it up, support good devs, and have some fun... and no need to rush, the game will be great whenever you get around to it. 👴💯
The free game is rather enjoyable, it seemed that the developer was nice and at first they were helpful but the moment things seemed a little sus, not even significantly but only a little as i've been playing this game for years, off the developer immediately jumps to accusing me of being a bad person and quickly decides I need to just go away. If you can get the game at a significant discount than maybe its worth it but otherwise I'd suggest just sticking to the free version. *8/26/2022 edit: The developer has committed defamation by claiming I purchased keys illegally... even showing right below they did not commit any actual investigations behind their claims. I have already reported them to steam. *Edit 9/12/2022 Steam said the review cant include grey market names and so I have edited that line out. *final edit feb 16/2023 Forgot to add this, but since someone linked me to here, I may as well. Les even went so far as to gaslight me, and I've proven they are using non steam methods to try to hinder my ability to operate on steam.

This one will be dope when it gets open world play!
这个游戏的所有系列我都买了,战旗游戏的精品,不过我不明白为什莫制作组不把游戏的人物模型做精美一点?人物图形模型真的很丑,感觉就像80年代的老游戏。如果制作组把图形,人物模型做好看一点这游戏一定会火的,游戏是好游戏就是人物模型超级丑,希望制作组在发售第4代时把人物模型做精美一些 I have bought all the series of this game, the fine product of Zhanqi game, but I don't understand why the production team does not make the game's character models more exquisite? The character graphics model is really ugly, it feels like an old game from the 80s. If the production team looks at the graphics and character models well, the game will be popular. The game is a good game because the character models are super ugly. I hope the production team will make the character models more beautiful when the fourth generation is released.
打折前一星期买的== 画面简陋,但是几乎不玩战棋的我也很喜欢。 目前通了默认选项下老手难度的矮人战役,中途时常保存读取大法,到最后一个消耗品都没用过...暂时还不舍得那些从头养到尾的单位开新周目。 主线流程除去频繁SL的战斗之外并不长,主要靠靠幽默的对话支撑。 一些对新入坑玩家的建议: 创意工坊里有中文汉化包,装了之后可以在设置里选择中文,游戏体验飙升,还有些未汉化的就得借助网易有道词典之类的了。 难度选择“大师”,很多战术在前两个难度里完全用不着。 杂项选项中“为所有单位启用物品”可以给非英雄单位穿装备,虽然会增加一些搭配乐趣,但是让你的战前准备变得十分繁琐,这个选项我个人倾向于关闭。 关闭杂项选项中的“永久死亡”,否则前期会为了保单位玩起来束手束脚,失去单位心如滴血。 首次战斗时查看菜单中的帮助,有不少重要的信息。 ”贿赂“是非常核心的一个技能,可以在战斗中收买单位并使其投入之后的战斗,不能收买的单位则需要某些其他的途径获取 不够强不要招惹人类,太全面了,弩炮和火焰射手的远距离强力打击实在难顶
