Age of Decadence

Post by kelticpete »

anyone play beta?

few games have had so many incredible things and so many wonky/crap things at same time.

I finsished the beta as a drifter who went high charisma who never chose combat, and in the one battle I was forced into, I had minions and I literally just ran (in turn based combat) as they took out the bad guys. It was exactly what a guy with low str/dex/con and zero combat training would do!

that was cool questline. the writing/story/world is effing incredible. like I wish it was a book.

the skills are crazy. you often need a certain skill check to win a challenge and if you win it you get more skill points to spend. so you spend points in things to get more points. it is weird.

Sure looks promising.

25 dollar price tag may dissuade some, but it sure looks well worth it to me.

May have to pick this up on payday.

ps. theres also a demo on steam.

I've spent quite a bit of time on it, very fun.

Now I'm waiting until there's lots of new content compared to my last runs, before trying it again.

Recommended.

Do you think there will ever actually be a full release? I've been waiting for about 5 years and have pretty much given up hope.

Understandable, but they've made fairly good progress lately. Third monthly update came out (so I guess they've started a trend), and apparently they are on track to add 5 more areas shortly.

I had fun testing their Steam beta to smithereens before any of those updates, and there was plenty of good content at that point already.

Reminds me of the old Fallout (1+2) series, from a gameplay point of view. The character screen and the world interaction buttons (left hand, right hand / action points etc.) are very familiar. However, the Roman element does not fit into this picture. Or maybe it does someway because in Fallout 3 a faction called "Caesar´s Legion" emerges.

They've added another 5 areas to the game, among other things. Looks like steady progress.
