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?

⭐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.

i bought this game and its dlc for $20 on sale. it was not worth the money. it feels like a dlc for a game being sold stand alone and feature incomplete. you only get 2 factions (except for multiplayer) even though it is fun at times it is not a complete game. they are calling it a sequel when in any other game it would be called a faction pack. they are updating all of their "games" rather then making 1 feature(and faction) complete game and then add dlc to that. as is it is 6 gigs for 2 races and every game is another 6 gigs for 2 races and at no point can you play any race from another "game" and each one is charging a full game's price(as of writing the second game is 24.99 base price) it is not worth 2$55 even as a dlc let alone a "full game". if all of their games were combined into 1 single game it might be worth $45 then adding paid dlc later on. as for right now it is not worth the money per "game"
Excellent third installment in the series, adding the fifth and sixth campaigns, with the dryads and the dwarves respectively. I played the campaign with the dwarves, and it was good. The tone was off-kilter and mirthful. You meet (and beat) half a dozen characters from the other campaigns, inflict random carnage, reconquer your ancestral fortress, and slay crafty baddies. The dwarves have strong infantry, good medium-ranged archers, and weak mages. The game gives you an archmage to compensate. At the end you get a strong medium-range cannon. Of the two DLC's, the one with the werewolves is the better one. It gives you a powerful melee hero to play around with. The hardest difficulty felt right. The enemies put up a little but of a fight, and you have to reply entire fights if you make mistakes. Hope to see a master edition some day, with an engine rewrite in something other than Java, and with all the campaigns in one place. Great series - thank you to the devs!
pretty good
I am late to the AoF game but I am enjoying the heck out of number 3. I am not a big fan of playing Evil characters but I am very tempted to buy them all at the moment. I would suggest that someone considering the game try the Free game. I loved the Free Game so much I bought AoF 3 and I think that the game will give you an honest understanding if these games are for you. Just as a warning, the free game does not contain a story line it just lets you understand the mechanics of the games' combat system and character development. Positives: Good tactical combat (melee, melee and spell casters are well balanced) Good character development (some depth but clear enough to make good guesses as to what will work) Chance to mix and match different factions Character Classes and Factions are quite well differentiated Game has a sense of humor and a good story line Cons: Quests are a bit ho hum at times (Overall story line is fun tho)
If you are looking for an older genesis one game but with modern graphics then this is your game. It brings back memories of the game Brigandine. Where you get take play how you want and upgrade your army. If your troops survive a battle then they are carried over to the next battle. You can choose their weapons, armor, and jewelry. Definitely a game to try.
This is the third release in the Age of Fear series, one of the series I know of with the longest running developer support. It is a fun game with a sly sense of humour. I have played all the games in the series, and I have loved all of them. Simple gameplay loop with more depth than I know by a lot. I particularily like building powerful armies with strange or exotic combinations of moves, abilities, and passives. It's not a roguelike. This is similar to traditional role playing games, with a more rogue like system. If the campaigns could be played in a day, it would probly be a roguelike. I often find roguelikes have too much RNG; I get too invested in characters for roguelikes. This game scratches that itch. Note that, in order to make it more roguelike, one needs to build a team with some optional settings enabled. You'll likely figure it out.
Very nice little game, plenty of different units, a nice variability of skills, mercenaries are both a welcome variation and a pain in the neck, dialogues between heroes are funny, and the top-down view is perfect for that kind of game. Many battles, a good number of them optional. Things that could be even better IMHO : - the battlefield size could stand to be a bit larger sometimes - the starting area could be larger at times as well. As it is, it basically never provides enough room for tactical manoeuvering - while the levelling of units provide several options, most units end up having all skills available if they survive because only a few of them have branching career paths. Having more mutually exclusive choices would bring more variety. - one of the battles was very buggy for me [spoiler](the one where you fight Lexa)[/spoiler]: the game hung near the end of the opponent's turn, forcing me to quit and start the game about twenty times at different points in the battle. Sometimes changing the tactical sequence of *my* game turn unlocked the opponent's next turn, sometimes not. Since it was a campaign battle, it was frustrating, but I eventually managed to complete it. But overall, a very nice game at a reasonable price (and a must have if it goes on sale and you happen to like turn-based tactical fantasy skirmish games). I've bought AoF 2 and 4, and all DLCs and expect having a blast.
Interesting game with unique turn based tactics. Fun units and opportunities to tailor your party how you want. I have enjoyed every game in this series, give it a try. The devs are very responsive and with gmae mode from casual to deathmatch, there's something for everyone here.
想起来三部都买了。 想问下作者怎么看巴以局势?
Great strategy RPG game from a developer who actively listens and responds to concerns and suggestions. Deep turn based battles, RPG management of a huge team of fantasy characters (spanning many different fantasy races), and some great twisted humor makes for a fantastic package!
