Nov. 2024

This a hardcore RPG with a very high degree of replayability. No handholding, you are thrusted in an alternative timeline akin to ancient Rome, you are (hopefully) a resourceful man caught in the war between the remaining houses that are at each others throats. Who and how you serve is completely up to you, which is the best selling point for this game - deceit, bribing, stealth, manipulation.. or the good old kill em all fashion. Combat is unforgiving and sometimes hard to avoid, but you can tip the odds in your favor via various skills, like alchemy, crafting etc. if you are not a full-on combat character. These skills can again come in handy when you are solving some problems and quests that might require such knowledge. Highly recommended if you want a traditional Turn based RPG with absolutely no hand-holding.

Amazing dialogue, interesting setting, remarkable story, and the freedom to actually play the way that you want to play. Some of my favorite reasons to play any rpg and this game accomplishes that in spades. It is not for the faint of heart as the gameplay and role-playing elements are as harsh as the setting, but if you want an rpg that really lets sucks you in this is the one.

The Age of Decadence is a very focused cRPG in the style of late 90s story heavy games (such as Planescape:Torment, Baldur's Gate or Fallout) set in a post apocalyptic world that also takes its aesthetics from Ancient Rome. You pick one of eight backgrounds that influence the story and quest-lines available and use your wits and skills to lie, cheat, steal and/or murder for a series of unsavoury characters who only have their own interests at heart. In AoD you are not the chosen one, you're not all powerful, you're just another tool to be used and discarded by the powerful. You will die, you'll be ambushed, betrayed or fall foul of traps, your decisions will kill you and you are not protected by plot armour...you are the protagonist of your story but you are not the 'main character'. You can play AoD without entering a single fight or putting a single point in combat, I suspect you could even reach the end of the game without passing a single skill check (don't quote me on that) and there are so many hidden options that you won't see unless your stats or background (or choices made) align. The combat is serviceable and fun once you get used to it but it's no the main draw of the game. The graphics are rough but there's a certain beauty to the design and aesthetic of the world. The music is solid and does what it needs to do. Obviously the draw here is the writing and it's excellent and believe-able and there wasn't a single line that broke my immersion. The best thing for me is that it's not DnD based-kitchen sink-power fantasy-wish fulfilment -Bullsh#t. Definitely not for everyone so play the demo to get a feel for the game before you commit to buying. Off to play a third play-through now.

I kind of recommend this with some reservations. While the developer markets the game as being hard, and there may be some truth to that, it sometimes feels more like you just have to tailor your characters so specifically that, for me, it removes some of the 'role-playing' immersion and becomes more like a 'stat management' game trying to unlock the right actions/dialogue options. I do like what is there - the story, atmosphere, even the artwork to some degree. I also felt that navigating the map was a little bit awkward, but you get used to it after a while. My main problem is that there isn't really lee-way for your playthrough. It feels like you have to find out exactly what stats you need and do not divert from them or you will simply have to start over. I know this is a bit of a strange 'good review', but I did enjoy what was there of the game despite this criticism I have. If there were a few more ways to level and make up for some stat distribution then this game would be an amazing role-play experience.

There's still no other RPG quite like this one. The design, script, characters, world lore and it's presentation are all made to complement each other. The only system that's limping behind is the skillchecking-based progression but that's about it
