Our take on Age of Fear: Total
The package foregrounds access to future releases, DLC, prototypes, and an evolving series, so its present-day scope is presented alongside later additions. The stated gameplay total covers campaigns across the series rather than one standalone storyline.
What is Age of Fear: Total?
Age of Fear: Total bundles the current Age of Fear games into one standalone package, with future releases and DLC intended for addition as they arrive.
The series combines illustrated fantasy stories with tactical battles, optional quests, procedurally generated battles, faction bases, mercenary recruitment, alignments, and party management. Battles use movement without hex grids and include spells, skills, hazards, environmental effects, and permanent death, with necromancy as an exception. Players can gather materials for crafting, find artefacts and relics, and build armies from varied units, skills, and spells. Steam Workshop support adds community-made units, items, scenarios, and campaigns. The package also includes a color-blind mode and prototypes or previews of features still in development.
