The difficulty of this game is vastly overblown, it is not something periously difficult, you just have to use your brain from time to time, load alot (death is very common) and save often so you dont lose 1 hour of progress due to a dumb decision, so basically have patience and save and you will hopefully be able to enjoy the game. Now for the game itself, the story is quite good, not the greatest but definitely insteresting and captivating, characters are well-made and the same goes for dialogue. Combat just feels heavily similar to classic fallouts and is not the hardest thing but you will struggle if you dont put some thought in your build and it can be quite slow at times but it's not bad. Now for the bad things, loading times are atrociously long (it's really bad) and there is a costant lights flickering bug that has not been fixed to this day. Overall it's a 7/10 that could be a 8/10 without the atrociously long loading times and also without the blinding lights flickering.

This game has been one of the best RPG experiences ive ever had. Fantastic world building and dialogue. I did a pacifist/no combat diplomacy run and it was very very challenging.

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.
