Age Of Fear 4: The Iron Killer

[Fluent]

Hey guys.

I searched for a thread for this game and couldn't find one so here it is. Thanks to Les, one of the developers of the game, I'm able to play it in advance and check it out. So far, it's really cool! Which is to be expected if you're a fan of the series. So in short, feel free to post your thoughts about the game and the series in this thread.

Also, I've got a few keys for the game to give them away here. So if anyone is interested and wants to play, leave a comment saying you're in and I'll do a random choice of 5 people. Best of luck!

Sod it, sign me up too. Don’t know anything about aof4 so will be a pleasant surprise to see what are the playable factions this time around.

Well, there is some info on the Steam page that talks about it, but I can say for sure that one of the factions is...Sea People! :D And it's very cool. I've played a few hours now and am greatly enjoying the new faction.

Anyway, you're in! Thanks for playing and good luck, Brother.

Don't be shy, now. I'd like to give everyone who is truly interested in the game a chance.

So, I played a few hours total. What's new? There's crafting, which seems to be pretty deep. U gather resources after each fight depending on factors like where u fought and who u fought. There's traps and snares and stuff like that, which the enemy can also use. I haven't seen Invisibility yet but it's there. The Sea People are pretty awesome, after playing close to 20 hours of AOF3 as the Nature/Forest people, the Sea People are endlessly fascinating. Their units are very cool, I can't get into details but I really like what I see. I guess it's safe to say there's Nagas and creatures like that. And some that do interesting, unique things.

Overall it's a blast so far, and challenging on Hard (I'm going to up it to Master or whatever the highest is next time I play.) Oh, and did u know these games do things based on your real life time where you're at? For example, in AoF3 u can visit the Monastery at midnight for something different to happen. Lots of secrets and cool stuff to find in these games.

Hope that helps. On Friday you guys should share your thoughts on the game here, would love to read em. Take care peeps, and enter the giveaway if u wish! <3

Fun fact: the dev already listed Age of Fear 5 on Steam now. The series just keeps on going.

fun fact, not to toot my own horn or anything, but just giving u guys more info, I am responsible for the Colorblind Mode Les added to the game (and the rest of the series when he gets around to it.) It makes all the text in the game high contrast and changes the to-hit % chances to white instead of deep red. I couldn't read the red well so it was changed. Also, I suggested an upgraded Combat Log and he is working on that now, too! It's especially handy for enemy turns where u can't keep up with the previous log, and it has a solid green background now for more readable text (white text on green background.) Les is very open to suggestions so if u guys want to see anything in the games, let me know and I'll pass it along! I also asked for a possible initiative roll at the start of combat, based on the combined speed of all units on each team, in order to possibly give the enemy a chance to go first (just for varied gameplay.) Let me know what u guys think!

I can't even tell you how good these games are for me. I'm currently 20 episodes deep (on YouTube) in the Dryad campaign for Age Of Fear 3, which is ONE of the TWO full campaigns u can choose. Well, it's simply awesome. Sooo much content keeps opening up - tons of side quests, additional battles, new merchants, new unit types, new classes, skills, items... it's simply insane. If u love that sort of thing in a tactical RPG setting (with a good story!), this game is just top notch, top shelf stuff. One of the best I've played, it's simply addictive and I can't stop playing it! Age Of Fear 4 will no doubt be much of the same with some really great, new improvements.

Fluent my negro....I played the first one, liked it even though it was barebones. They did a total overhaul of it as I understand it and made the later ones much more open world. I'd like to give it a go or at least be in the draw. Cheers.

hey commie! nice to see u. yeah, the first game is untouched because a lot of people liked it as-is, but games 2, 3 and 4 are all overhauled, open world and have tons of "stuff" to find and do. and if game 4 gets a new feature, Les ports the feature to games 2 and 3, too. Really cool stuff. But yeah man, you'll love 4, or 3 or 2. I cosign them 100% as being incredibly deep and fun tactical RPGs! <3

you're in! good luck!
