About Age of Darkness: Final Stand
Build fortifications and command heroes to hold back colossal waves of 70,000+ nightmare creatures using groundbreaking SwarmTech, all while expanding territory against an encroaching death fog in campaign, co-op, and endless survival modes. Dynamic day-night cycles, roguelite afflictions, and faction-based gameplay ensure every desperate last stand feels fresh and uniquely challenging.
The darkness is an entity of evil. Some say it is the manifestation of human fear and nightmares, others say it is a wandering mass of damned souls haunting us. The origin of the darkness itself is unknown, but one thing for certain is that we can keep it at bay through the power of light and fire.
The complete, full release of Age of Darkness: Final Stand is available now and includes Co-operative Multiplayer, Campaign, and Survival modes.
Brace yourself against huge tidal waves of Nightmares. Leveraging an internally developed technology called ‘SwarmTech’ allows the game to render over 70,000 enemy units on the screen at one time. These enemy legions claw their way up through seething fissures in the earth to reinforce ‘The Veil’.
Light up a rich, complex, procedurally generated map to claim territory back from ‘The Veil’. A dynamic living death fog that conceals enemies and drains life from your troops. Holding the line against this terror is not for the faint of heart.
Borrowing from the the roguelite genre, Malices are random afflictions placed on the player during every Death Night, unraveling the best made plans. Conversely, if a Death Night is survived, you may decide between three randomly selected Blessings, enriching the experience and giving your army a much needed edge.
Lead the charge against the horrors of the night with powerful and unique Heroes. Using special abilities gained from leveling up, these Heroes can be key to turning the tide of a desperate battle. But beware, the Nightmares have Elite roaming champions of their own that drop precious resources when killed, posing an extreme and ever-present threat to your expansion.
- Co-Op Multiplayer - Team up with a friend in co-op multiplayer to survive the onslaught, defend humanity from the forces beyond the Veil, and reclaim the light together

This game ticks all of my boxes. Strategy. Defense. Towers. Choke points. Not to long, but not to short. Good Co-Op. Good stuff. Campaign is a bit lackluster but still good3 found this helpful
Pure control over units, they could oft stand near enemies and do nothing. It breaks gameplay.2 found this helpful
Can't reach 60FPS even at medium1 found this helpful
Somewhat buggy and frustrating campaign, dropping this at just over 2h of game time. Dissapointing.1 found this helpful

The game is really great, but unfortunately, the developers abandoned it and stopped updating it.
