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!

Pretty good the undead faction is really fun. dont really know why they added humies tho so i havent played them
Wer rundenbasierte Kämpfe mag, ist hier richtig.
The game is not as simple as it seems, you need to think a little and plan your tactics. If you notice any bugs, don't be shy about reporting them, I found 1 and the developer fixed it. Thanks to the developer for the support.
It is good fun that scratches a certain itch that few other games do! I find myself coming back to it time and again. Versatile custom options to cater to different individuals.
Great turn based game
Довольно сложный DnD-like симулятор пошаговых боёвочек очень похожий на HoMM местами. Цепляет проработанными мелочами, хорошим AI, большим количеством юнитов и неплохим разнообразием в случайных эвентах, которые иногда выскакивают на мировой карте. Английский здесь не такой уж сложный, поэтому даже я , в принципе его не знающий, всё понял и осилил чтение. Что до сюжета - до банального простой (по крайней мере за Сира Эдварда), однако за Крилла только предстоит пройти. Имеются свободные компании, я так понимаю не обременённые каким-либо прямым сюжетцем и просто даны для собственного развлечения и бесконечной реиграбельности. Строй город, развивай армии, играйся. Картинка в игре как если бы вы играли в настолку через Roll20. Привыкнуть можно, иконки юнитов видно что любительские, но тем не менее симпатичные. Фигурки на полях боя очень даже хороши, придраться не к чему. Стоит отметить атмосферный саундтрек, особенно тихий пиано амбиент при битве в ледяном ущелье (предконцовка людской кампании), который как нельзя кстати подходит для такой сложной и суровой битвы. А вот до чего можно докопаться так это до интерфейса в игре, самого движка и попросту глупой архаичности всего - от меню до всплывающих реплик. Шрифт - очень маленький, читать на мониторах FullHD порою невозможно, глаза сломаешь. Немного топорные анимации и плохая отзывчивость на нажатия, но в целом понятно из-за чего такие неудобства. В целом жить можно, но конечно хотелось бы пожелать разработчику сделать всё чуть более удобным. Стоит рассказать и о несправедливой сложности. Будьте готовы к тому, что в один момент (я так понимаю при улучшении городской крепости до 3-го уровня игра считает, что можно высыпать гигантские армии врагов на поле боя) враги станут едва ли непобедимыми. Игра говорит, что скалирует сложность на основе пройденного прогресса игрока, так вот - не улучшайте базу до 3-го уровня по крайней мере пока ваша основная армия не прокачается до максимума. Лучшее решение это гринд и алтарь для подношений ценных руд и камешков (за обмен даётся EXP). Предвкушаю, что кампания за Некроманта будет куда интересней клишированной банальной истории о рыцарстве и паладинсе (Согласитесь, что мало кто любит все эти избитые истории о бравых воинах Света и дамских сердец), поэтому как-нибудь соберусь с силами, чтобы пройти игру ещё раз, может даже забегу на open-world кампании. Между тем игра предлагает к тому же 2 DLC. Честно - я их пока не трогал, лишь глянул глазком. И если с секретом бессмертия всё сложно - нужно отыскать особый предмет для продвижения квеста, то с пиратами всё куда проще - идёте по цепочке квестов и затем меситесь, увлекательно и интересно. Не ожидал, что внешне неказистая, любительская игра затянет надолго. 8/10 (Если бы не нечестная сложность и огрехи с движком и интерфейсом я бы конечно не постеснялся влепить 10 своим непредвзятым взглядом), любителям пошаговых боёвочек и тактических действий крайне рекомендую. Ах, да - Нежить полная имба. Живите с этим как хотите.
fun as hell
Nothing to say, just take my thumbs up and be happy.
[h1] Age of Fear The Undead King [/h1] Table top not required for table top fantasy fun! This is the kind of role playing game I have been waiting to play for some time now. Once upon a time in the long long ago, in the before times. I had a table top and miniature D&D models that I spent days upon days painting. Weeks preparing the table top. I would gather my friends and we would all have a great time playing D&D home brews. This was before the age of the internet. The days between our table top games I would go into the basement and run dry runs of some of the battles and scene I had created. Taking the models and playing against myself. It really came down to the dice rolls. But was fun in its own special way. This game takes me back to a time when I was at my table top down stairs doing dry runs. Only this time I have an AI to play against. I have a rich story that I did not write. A story and options to create very own levels, models and so much more in this deep rich modding system they gave to us. This hearkens me back to the Gold Box sets I had with my PC, only much much better. I very much recommend this title. As the sale price was a true steal for the amounts of content and game play I am looking forward to. I have barely even touched the whole game yet and spent most my time reading and understanding what I can do with this. This title gives me something that most titles and AA games have taken away from us. The ability to fill in the blanks with our imaginations. The sky is the limit when it comes to the human mind and minimal graphics. What a breath of fresh air this series really is. I very much look forward to all of the treasures this title is going to offer. Thanks to the team who created this fine precious gem! From an old school Gygaxion DM from the long long ago, in the before times up to the modern age of gaming! You done good!
just got redundant and boring, honestly just good enough to cost you your refund, any minute after that was me trying to like it Developer response: Les [developer] Posted: Mar 1 @ 10:50am Hi there, So sorry you are unhappy with our series. I can offer you a refund via PayPal - please send me your Steam receipt and your PayPal account to ......... left out by me on purpose. Take care, Les Hello sadly I do not have paypal. im kind of antiquated, but the fact you even reached out means you’re definitely interested in making a quaility product and genuinely care. So even without getting a refund ill be updating my review to reflect your dedication so it is still a no from me, But at least they care, and it might not be a no from you
