An Exquisite RPG for The Ages

Age Of Decadence is one of the greatest turn-based RPGs I've ever enjoyed! I'm a huge ancient history nerd and particularly like Ancient Rome as a setting, so this game's low-fantasy take on that period was the first thing that intruiged me. I knew I'd instantly like this game from the start due to the varied classes and character customization possibilities. It's all clearly well thought out, with an exquisite attention to detail. From stats, to dialogue options, to branching questlines with real consequences that actually give you agency and impact. The music is enchanting. The atmosphere is mysterious and compelling, with every major city unique and changing as you progress through the game. I adore the rich lore. It's presented entirely text-based, which means engaged and thoughtful reading. My current playthrough is for an Assassin. The way this game handles the guilds and the approach for this parcitular class is refreshing. You have plenty of oppurtunity to strengthen your loyalty or to change sides dynamically. It's an amazing feeling! Combat is definitely punishing...if you're not strategic and misspend your skill/combat points. I actually had to restart the game completely once to get the hang of it. Then the game opened up to the point that my reputation actually deterred further needless combat, offering different dialogue options based on my body count. This is an example of how eery single aspect of this game is interconnected, building up until it pays off beautifully. The writing is just top knotch. A focused narrative with plenty of twists that demand multiple playthroughs with different characters to undertand the full extent. Addictive gameplay that's fun precisely because it's challenging. This game is unique not only for it's old-school mechanics in an age where everyhting is dumbed down, but because it truly has soul and passion. I'm so happy I took a chance on Age of Decadence!! I'll be enjoying it for a long time to come.

Don't waste your time

The reviews saying that this game is great are BS reviews. The combat system is just unfair, the game keeps saying that the combat is supposed to be hard, but it's not "Challenging" Hard, it's usually "Impossible" hard! I got stuck multiple times not being able to complete certain combat sequences, but also not being to use any other option. The roleplaying is limited , there's a good chance you could ruin you campaign, by saving before a combat sequence which you can't complete,but not having any other roleplaying options, thus you have to reload a previous save(Or start over completely, they said it themselves they don't expect you to do that well throughout your first playthrough!) The game punishes you like this all the time! I don't recommend this game, the "Post-apocalyptic, isometric, roman rpg" theme is cool, but the game is, in my opinion, horribly made.

I could've read a book instead.

The writing is poor and dull. The graphics are mostly pointless because this is really just a text choose-your-own adventure book. All you do is read long swaths of (poor, dull) writing and click through tedious dialogue trees. And die if you pick the wrong thing. Wish I could get a refund.

True gem

One of the best RPG I ever played. True you the game seems to lock many choices between arbitrary stats ceil. However this is not a game intended to be played once, you have to play it several times with different game plans in order to uncover the full plot. A single playthrough might seem limited, but in truth it's a masterpiece and you will forget thoses boundaries once you understand your class, your game plan and gonna stick with it... whatever it might be

Pure Garbage

Dont believe the glowing reviews, this is not an rpg but more like choose your own adventure with skill checks along the way. its simply retarded and abominable in design. Ignore the comments like "not for Bioware lovers", "Bethesda fans neednt apply" or "old school hard-core only". Its not old-school hardcore in fact lots of old school games like Wizardry were acutally crappy. Its unintuitive in its design, has a dumb as dirt story, assets look like garbage. Its sold as post-apocalyptic but you wouldnt know that when playing it. Its basically a game heavily reliant on trial and error all the while bragging its deadly difficult. It aint. Its stupidly and dellusionally designed. The dev/s must be retarded or drunk to even compare this game to Fallout(which it doesnt). Its not realistic like it says it is. Dont believe the shills from RPGcodex praising the this game. If you must play it just borrow a copy before actually buying the game.
