About
Welcome everyone! The Age of Fear: The Undead King Gold is the outcome of almost seven years of work on the original game, initially released in 2011. Over this period we listened to our amazing Community and implemented new features, mechanics and more content. Lots of new content in fact! Thank you for supporting us - you guys are the best!
First and foremost, we are adding a sandbox layer (extended World Map) to the game while keeping both campaigns. It took us a long time to introduce procedurally generated battles and shops, but the effect is well-worth it - according to our testers it at least doubles the playtime! Oh, did I mention themed factions' (upgradeable) bases?
The Age of Fear universe has evolved tremendously as well during that same period. Through the series, there are now six playable factions, each with its own lore and unique units. Currently, the game features more than two hundred units (from the initial forty) with almost 800 (!) unique spells, abilities and items. That is a lot of variety!
To better introduce the player to the AOF universe, we have added multiple extra dialogues, cinematic battles and legendary landmarks along with events. On top of those expansions, the engine was reworked, graphics were improved and even completely replaced, and the really good AI was enhanced further (which is the trademark of the series!).
I would like to welcome you to the Age of Fear: The Undead King Gold! I hope you will enjoy it at least as much as we did while creating it!
⭐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?
⭐ALIGNMENTS such as Evil and Holy. Units from opposite sides won’t like each other and may desert. A bit of diplomacy (or charisma!) is needed to manage such relationships.
⭐EXTENDED STORY including many sub-quests, optional events, alternative endings, more detailed lore, etc.
⭐FREQUENTLY UPDATED - we take our work seriously and patch our games often with new features and content. Also, whenever possible, those updates are back-ported to all our previous games!
⭐COMMUNITY-DRIVEN - we listen to our players and continuously improve! Go and check our forums, everyone has their say and we implement those suggestions.
⭐FULL OF JOKES - who said strategy games have to be serious? All the best fantasy jokes have a home here!
⭐PARTY CUSTOMIZATION - build and upgrade a custom army from more than two hundred unique units, skills and spells (but be aware of racial animosities!).
⭐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!
⭐LOW HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS - run the game even on that old potato laptop of yours. Your stone-age computer is good enough!
⭐COLOR-BLIND MODE - a special mode with higher contrast and outlined fonts.
⭐...everything else we come up with! Purchase only if you want access to the latest features in the Age of Fear series, and please keep in mind that this is an evolving product.
If you're hungry for a no-nonsense, old school turn-based strategy game, you've met your match in the Age of Fear series. Enter the fantasy world of Age of Fear today!

I cant support a dev who hands out perma bans and censors opposing comments, who post political messages out on steam knowingly starting problems between countries and friends who try to stay outof this on a gaming channel. We get banned for responding about politics by the person who breaks the community guidelines by posting a political topic. Sick of the hypocrisy that they break the community guidelines and abuse the system. I oppose censorship and misinformation on a subject that i have lost family over, by someone who wasn't even in this conflict. (P.S and thats how I get my truthfull message viewed again..thnx, it worked : ) glad people can now read my response and prove i didn't insult you, its truthful AZOV are nazis. Yo broke the rules about politics go read the rules on steam "no political comments" i called you out and you didnt like it. you are the B.S not me. P>S its not about insults as he lets people say "shut the .... up .... if they are pro ukraine without a ban but anybody calls this out is banned. If you doubt me read the comments and you will see the insults fly one way , hypocrisy and Bias and everything I said is truthful not insults and Iam glad he linked my comment for you all to read. DISGUSTING to have politics in a gaming site.... Sort it out Steam Sort it out. "insulting people" Name the people I insulted?, show me the names of the persons i insulted and show me the repeated times you told me (you cant) because you are a liar..... Prove me wrong, you just showed i didnt insult anybody now show me the repeated warnings. DISGUSTING you get away with this.
Не интересно.
Glad someone tipped me off to this, this game is great if you want a fantasy tactics game. My only real nitpick is that ranged units fire through others without penalty but the game is so much fun otherwise i don't mind it here. Theres one called "The Free World' which you can play to see if you'd want to buy. Totally recommend, the game is super fun.
[b]Review: Friday 9, September, 2022[/b] For now I won't make a big review, because I haven't played enough of it yet, but I liked the game, it's a good game, and I want to play it more. [b]Score:[/b] I give it a 4.5 of 5 stars for now.
Hidden Gem This is a great turn-based tactics game. Has everything you would want from a game like this. Huge variety of units, plenty of upgrades, hero units that can equip items, huge variety of options. Many game mechanics can be customized to your liking - for example you can make all units able to equip items as if they were a hero unit. Different factions to play as but you can recruit units of any faction into your army (some may suffer morale penalties depending on their race/alignment) Game always seems "fair" and the enemy AI is actually pretty good. Definitely worth checking out.
I played the start of this a few times and it is very random. One game I got dwarven warriors which look really good then I got things that did not look so good. I could not be bothered to play the less good start. In a way it might be a better challenge but I just don't have the motivation to do it. I wonder why the game needs to be so random. Few people will replay it a lot of times. It may be better just to balance the difficulty levels carefully and provide a consistent game. In any case it is well made and seemed not buggy. The game allows use of tactics it is just that the strategy layer is too random for my liking. On balance deserves a positive review.
Great game, if you don't like challenge. Challenge is also available, but it is togglable. Low on computer resources.

Be careful! It's addictive. It should be written on the description.
This game is utterly amazing. Chock-full of pretty interesting (and voice-acted) story moments, randomized non-story scenarios and encounters, varieties of enemies and allies, unique equip-able gear and consumables (even for non-Hero units, if you change the setting), best Necromancer character I've ever played, and more and more and more. Biggest highlight for me: continuing QoL updates, game engine improvements and content additions. If you're not sure, try Age of Fear: The Free World! It's free! That's where I started.
