Howdy.
I don't think I have ever posted here before (who knows, truthfully - glug glug goes the booze train).
Just a prelude, I'm really interested in this project, and have lurked the codex (sounds like a dance move) for a while. So imagine my surprise when, I, 6 beers down and sitting on the shitter at 1am, stumble upon a section of this magazine (PC PowerPlay) called Digital Curtain featuring - Age of Decadence.
Now, sorry to get your hopes up, but it pisses on you. I knew this straight away because the little page 19 box, Digital Curtain discusses odd and wacky foreign games.
Admittedly, PCPowerPlay is a piece of cuntfuck inherently, but I use it as my source of what piles of dogturd, masturbatory shitfests and surprising gems are on the horizon. If something looks interesting, I delve deeper. Usually by going to IGN or GameSpot. Ha - a joke.
Anyway, uh, this disgusts me! This boxout is situated next to a banal Sennheiser ad featuring 2 fucktard looking stock models with a glass of water (what gamer drinks water), wearing sweatbands (again...) and a NY cap (kill me...)
sorry I'm drunk and verbose but here ya are (ill scan it if i can)
I present the first (?) Old-Media Discussion of Age of Decadence!
Digital Curtain
With Anthony Fordfuck (Fordham is also editor...)
Roaming not-Romans ate my brain!
Developer: IRON TOWER
Origin: INDEPENDENT COLLECTIVES OF TEH INTRANESTS
URL: www.irontowerstudio.com
You know why Rome was so strong? Identity. They had one. And now this game, Age of Decadence, is trying to steal it. Because this is a fantasy isometric RPG with turn-based combat that takes place in a post-apocalyptic, almost-Roman world. Inspired by the Fall of the Roman Empire, is what the developer says. Gibbons and all that. Quite how scrabbling around in the remains of a technologically and culturally superior empire is "decadent", I'm not sure.
Intriguingly, AOD uses the Torque Engine, the heavil ymodified but still direct descendant of the code that powered the venerable Tribes 2 (released in 2001). Which explains the graphics. There's also about 9000 words of really bad backstory on the website, followed by a challenge in the footer that reads: "Got something to say? Email us at info@irontowerstudio.com". The choice is yours.
As for the game itself, the characters are blocky, the environments garish. Still, $20 worth of RPG action is not something to be sniffed at. We'll reserve judgement... just.
WHY AGE OF DECADENCE FREAKS ME OUT
- Uses a tweaked version of the Tribes 2 engine
- Kador "leafs" an "excellent source of quality poison"
- Turn-based combat with action points (to match graphics)
- Developer too lazy to research real Ancient Rome

What the fuck? What a heaping pile of shit. I WOULD SHIT ON THIS FUCKING BANAL FUCKKNUCKLES HEAD IF I WAS DRUNK ENOUGH. Also, I don't remember a price being on the website? Could this be purposefully misleading?
