The game itself is fairly decent, my only problem is that you are unable to play any of the other factions from the previous games, you can only play either the sea people or the campaign. In case if one of the developers see this I want to ask if the game has a discord or something similar. I wanted to ask what the game contains on if I wanted to purchase it but I couldn't find a link.

Love the Series. I´ll admit that I was not too happy on Day one DLC, but the game is great. Cant wait to see the next game!

I am sorry, but this game is terrible compared to the previous entries. The new story structure is awfull. I never liked the move to pseudo open world gameplay in the first place, but this game requires you to grind random battles, because you start out with only two units, and the next story mission requires you to have 10 units. In previous games I could mostly ignore the randomly generated garbage battles and only play the handcrafted fun stuff, in this game this is no longer viable. Add to that no longer being able to choose a faction out of two, and having locked DLC on the map screen on all time, and I see absolutely no reason to play this game over the free Age of Fear the Free World. Why did I spend money on this again? It needs a strong shift in design philosophy to make me come back to this series in the future.

I own all the previous ones and played them trough multiple times. Don´t let the graphics fool you, this is solid TBS game with plenty of units to choose and upgrade and evolve.

In my opinion weakest title in the series for two reason: Just one campaign, so it's quite a bit shorter than the others The new faction doesn't really feel at all central to the story. Sure you field naga units but the story is entirely centered around humans with the faction just being randomly attached. It could just as well be orcs or possums and nothing would change. Still the game is good enough to give it a thumbs up. If you are looking to enter the series for a first time I'd start with the others.

As with the other Age of Fear games: Great Story Great/Challenging Gameplay Unique Characters Perfect Music It also now has many performance bug fixes so everything is extra smooth. If you like strategy, this is a must buy.

THIS IS A SERIES WORTH SUPPORTING MADE BY DEVELOPERS WHO CARE! If you were initially cautious about "missing out" on new features and tried to figure out which game would be the most bang for your buck out of the Age of Fear series, it's actually a lot simpler than you'd think. I'll explain below. I suggest either buying the whole Age of Fear series or specifically the one whose story/characters draw you the most, because... - The series backports new updates and features to older games in the series. This means that, for example, if a new feature is implemented in, say, Age of Fear 4, it will be ported back to 1, 2, and 3 before long. That way, if you don't like the playable factions in 4 but do like the factions in 1, 2, or 3, you can enjoy this new feature with your preferred playable faction without having to miss out, just because you like necromancers more than dryads, or any other number of reasons. - Despite the connectivity in mechanics between games, the storylines aren't connected any more than being mentioned or briefly encountered in one another's campaigns. This means that you DO NOT have to play through the games before your preferred game to understand what's going on, aside from a simple, brief cameo or mention of previous protagonists' names. Pick which one interests you, and go for it! - If you're unsure of which game's factions interest you and would like a trial run, there is a FREE TO PLAY sandbox game for Age of Fear called "The Free World"! Use this to give the factions a try and determine which game will ultimately be the most fun for you to play! If you like the gameplay of The Free World, you are guaranteed to like the gameplay of 1, 2, 3, 4, and the upcoming 5, as they are nearly identical in gameplay. Their storylines, main characters, and playable factions/playstyles are what set them apart from one another. Ultimately, I consider the bundle very much worth it, but your mileage may vary. I haven't regretted my support of this series so much as once, and I can be quite picky! If the series interests you, I wholeheartedly suggest that you give it a try, at the very least! Sidenote : The developers are very well behaved, in my experience, and have been a pleasure to keep up with. They're positive, respond regularly, and even go out of their way to get refunds back to people who are displeased and went past Steam's refund 2-hour limit.

I generally like this series whenever it comes out with a new game, but this time around it's just not enough to recommend. Instead of the usual two campaigns in the game there's just the one. And it's got day one DLC. You don't get additional content down the line when developers make some new content, you're getting a chunked up game at the start. It's still age of fear and it's still a fun game, but if you are a fan of the series then keep your expectations a bit lower.
